Testimonials
Gavan Divola - Sonic Lighting

Sonic Lighting Pty Ltd was a company on the cusp of growth but was stilted by a need for an accounting firm that could not only work with us but could understand the direction we wanted to take. We discovered Coumans via a friend whom is a client of Coumans and have worked closely with Richard ever since. Getting an ‘outsider’ input on our business, via a 12 month business coaching contract, was a catalyst for Sonic Lighting to achieve significant growth and get our HR on track. With occasional training sessions, competent tax advice and continual company reviews we are reassured our partnership will facilitate the confidence we require going forward.

The team at Coumans - through their breakfast seminars and business development processes - have provided some great insights into how to make our business stronger and better, and ultimately more successful at all levels for management, staff and clients.
Jacob Burke - Best Sign Visual Communication

We had persevered with a traditional accountant for the first five years of trade. To take the business to the next level, we needed a team that was innovative, dynamic, driven and that could be our external point of reference to oversee our general finances. More importantly we needed a team to act as a sounding board for the finer management accounting decisions we need to implement and review on a daily basis. Since the change, we have a more accurate and in-depth understanding of our business’ financial position and the team at Coumans has been amazing in making us feel confident about the decisions we are making. The addition of Richard to our management team as an external individual enables us to look at decision making and strategy in a whole new light. We have big goals and ambitions to take our company into the future and the addition of Coumans to the financial management aspect of our business has sure seen these goals rapidly become a reality! It’s amazing how the small things can make the biggest difference.

Over the last 5 years we have worked with Coumans, moving from purely Tax and Compliance services to their tailored Business Development Services. In that time Evologic has grown considerably and we enjoy the tight relationship that has developed as well as the “Fixed Price” nature of their engagement. We see the staff at Coumans as an extension of our own Team, and wouldn’t be where we are without them.
Ross Durran – Geelong Brush Company

It's always hard to measure an intangible asset. But a valuable asset is exactly what Coumans is to our business. At the end of the day you have to ask yourself the question “do I feel more confident about my business now that I have Coumans on my side. At Geelong Brush Co. we are saying yes. Why? Well it just seems that making business decisions is easier when you have independent advice and opinion to guide you. Richard and his team are always ready and available to help, no matter what the issue or the time of day.
