As a Chartered Accountant, I felt comfortable having another Chartered Accountant in Peter assisting me with the transition from public practice to commerce."

Peter was also very helpful in assisting me move from the hospitality industry to an accounting position where I have enjoyed my new role as a Management Accountant.

Joan Cripwell, CA - (June 2012),
"I am a new migrant in Adelaide and job hunting has been challenging due to my semi-recognized qualification and absence of local experience. Despite this, Peter took time to talk to me, understood what I can do, and recognized that I have relevant qualifications which employers may not realize just looking at my CV. With his expertise and connections, he was able to find me an employer, which like him, trusted that I can contribute to the company. I would recommend Peter’s services because he opens doors of exciting opportunities."
Malou Pajimola-Ago Management Accountant (November 2012),

With Peter's great knowledge about the local industry and personal dedication, everything went smoothly. With his assistance, I was able to find a position that I enjoy and currently grow in. I firmly believe that this would not have materialised, if I had to do it all on my own. The service I received was of exceptional quality, with personal guidance every step of the way. I can highly recommend Peter's services to any professional job seeker."

I highly recommend Peter’s services to both candidates and employers alike."
