WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY
"Caroline is so wonderful, she provides really knowledgable, thoughtful and personalised advice. I'd highly recommend her to anyone with a small business who isn't too confident in the numbers side of things."
– Ashley, Sole Trader Tax Return
"Caroline takes the time to explain things so you actually understand the 'why' and the 'how' particularly in an arts environment where most accountants are baffled and baffling when it comes to dealing with us creative types!"
- Pip, Sole Trader Tax Return
"I had a good feeling about Creative By Numbers after browsing the website, but over the last couple of years Caroline has transformed my experience and understanding of tax, answered the many questions arising from my arts-related work, and clarified things so that I have lost a kind of nervous concern about getting things wrong into a sense of calm and ease. "
– Felicity, Coaching & Sole Trader Tax Returns
"Caroline is absolutely amazing! I would 100% recommend her services. It was my first year as a sole trader, going out on my own and straying away from the PAYG system and into the big scary land of ABN. Caroline has guided me through the grassroots level of setting up invoices, tax, GST and educating me about different types of client payments to ensure my first year went smoothly on the tax side of things."
- Rachel, Coaching for Creatives
