Sobell Rhodes have been our Accountants for a number of years. I am the Financial Controller of a medium sized wine business. We have always received great professional service from Sobell Rhodes. Based on this, we recently reached out to them for some consultancy work required that we can trust them to provide the best service and advice. As a bonus they are great likeable people with whom we really enjoy working.

Stellar service from Mark and the team at Sobell Rhodes - WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEIR STRATEGIC PLANNING DAY for businesses of all sizes to really shine a light on where you and your business could be headed in the future. The accountability exercises really helped spur me into action (more or less immediately), which has had a direct and positive impact on my team and I already!

I just realised this is my tenth year with Sobell Rhodes and over that decade they have been invaluable in helping me optimise my business from a financial accounting perspective. I was especially grateful for the day to day support they offered during the transition to Xero, some of which was quite daunting, but their goodwill and patience was outstanding. My accounting needs are fairly straightforward now, but there is comfort in knowing the ever helpful Michael Brown is only a phone call away with his pragmatic and balanced advice.

I have had the pleasure of working with Sobell Rhodes over the past few months and have been thoroughly impressed with their expertise and attentive service. As the owner of a small but growing business, I needed an accounting firm that could provide strategic guidance and help me set clear objectives for growth. Sobell Rhodes has done exactly that - they took the time to truly understand my business and vision, and developed a tailored roadmap to help me achieve my goals. What sets Sobell Rhodes apart is their personal approach - they make me feel like a valued client, not just a number. My main point of contact, Mark, has been fantastic. He is always responsive, proactive and easy to work with. Mark and his team are consummate professionals who bring fresh ideas to the table while also holding me accountable to follow through on financial and operational changes needed to improve profitability. In summary, I highly recommend Sobell Rhodes for any business looking to boost their strategic planning, financial management and bottom line. Their expertise and attentive service have been instrumental in moving my company forward. I'm excited to continue partnering with them in the months and years ahead.
