"Dom,
I just want to congratulate you and PKF Adelaide on your service to clients and particularly your manager, Nick Lam.
I first came to see you at Kennedy’s (Kennedy & Co) as we were having issues with our accountant at that time, your straight talking attitude won me over immediately.
Since we have been clients we have only had one issue, this was dealt with immediately and with honesty.
The level of service that we have received from Nick Lam over the past few years has been exceptional. I have never dealt with an organisation that has continued to maintain such a high level of personal service to clients.
As a society we are always very quick to complain about bad service, however we are very slow to recognise and acknowledge exceptional service, so today we wish to acknowledge the exceptional ongoing service to us as clients by PKF Adelaide and in particular Nick Lam.
If your organisation has an honour board or a recognition/reward program, please place our nomination for Nick Lam to be recognised for his service to us as clients."

I have always found the PKF Tamworth team to be responsive and careful in their dealings with our taxation matters. There have been many occasions when I have needed to call on assistance to understand what was needed of us or to address an issue that has arisen - you have ensured that we have had excellent advice, including at very short notice.
I also perceive the firm to have a good relationship with the tax office which is something I value.
Mark, I am so happy that when you moved to Tamworth years ago we decided to stay working with you. I’ve never felt that the distance has created the slightest issue and am grateful for your willingness to come to Sydney to meet with us if we thought that would be useful.
We look forward to continuing to work with you and the team at PKF.
