Testimonials

I have had the opportunity of retaining Steven Ponsonby to value businesses on a number of occasions. As a family lawyer I deal with price sensitive clients who are often closely acquainted with the businesses that Steve must look into. I require a valuer who can communicate clearly and in detail, who can field client queries and who can respond quickly and succinctly.

In my experience, Steve provides that service. In each matter which I have retained Steve, I have received a detailed report in quick time, at the price quoted (which itself is literally half that of the competition). Most importantly for me, my clients were content with the service, even when they did not get the result they were looking for. That they accepted the report is evidence in itself of Steve's clear and complete approach to the valuation and his excellent communication style.

I had the pleasure of working with Steven in a complex family law matter where he was required to undertake the role of shadow expert. Not only was he a pleasure to work with, but he demonstrated his expert knowledge in analysing and reporting on other financial reports much to the benefit of our mutual client. I look forward to working with Steven again and would highly recommend him.

We used Steven's forensic accounting skills to assist two clients who were facing deregistration by the Building Services Authority .

Steven produced a comprehensive, clear report which showed exactly what it was intended to, and was highly persuasive in demonstrating to the BSA that our clients had acted reasonably in their dealings with the failed company.

The desired result was achieved, at a cost which the clients felt represented a good investment in protecting their ability to continue to trade as builders.

Fraud Investigation – Involvement instrumental in successful outcome

“I knew that something wasn't right. Working long hours, company was profitable, but we always had cash flow issues.

Our accountant recommended we engage Steven Ponsonby from Forensic Accounting QLD to put the books under the microscope. The Forensic Accounting Qld investigation uncovered significant anomalies resulting from a number of fraudulent transactions at the hands of a staff member.

The matter was promptly referred to the QPS and on Steven’s recommendation, a solicitor was engaged to commence civil proceedings for recovery of the misappropriated monies. The swift and prompt action of Steven and his team allowed us to achieve full restitution of the misappropriated payments quantified and payments for interest and legal costs.

If we hadn’t engaged the services of Forensic Accounting QLD, I doubt that we would have achieved such an excellent outcome in such a short timeframe. We really appreciated the professional and fresh approach adopted by Steven and his team at Forensic Accounting QLD and would have no hesitation in recommending their services.”
