Testimonials

Forensic Accounting assistance to Lyn Van Kampen

"You have been terribly kind and helpful which is so rare these days.

So I just wanted to say thank you so much. If ever anyone ever needs a forensic accountant, I will definitely be singing your praises from the highest mountain.

Thank you so much for taking time to respond to me always and making me feel better, even though I could never get what I needed. You are a special human being."

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.

Review of ATO Assessment – Objection allowed in full

"Hi, Steven

Just want to let you know that after 10 months of the processing, ATO had just informed me that my objection has been allowed in full.

I just want to express my appreciation for your help and your report is the key to this final resolution."

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.

Steven's work helped us confirm a fraud that empowered us to act against the perpetrator. Steven was confidential, expert and unrelenting in discovering the facts. He met the deadlines we gave and his integrity gave us great confidence in his results. The only surprise was that the fee was so reasonable.

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.
