ABOUT THE ROMERO PRACTICE

At The Romero Practice, we love what we do. We have a mission.

Who We Are

Clients come to The Romero Practice for many reasons. One of the reasons we hear most is that we offer friendly down to earth advice and we listen to you. When we offer advice or assistance, we explain it in real person terms. Not ATO jargon that only accountants understand or with phrases that leave you scratching your head.

Feedback from our clients also tells us that we go beyond the usual expectations of an accounting firm. The Romero Practice is not a large accounting practice, but there is an add on television for a firm – ‘big enough to deliver, small enough to care’, and this slogan also fits us well.

The majority of our clients are local, but we have clients in every state of Australia and clients in New Zealand, India, America and the Philippines. The advent of cloud based accounting and the leaps and bounds in technology mean we can look after clients anywhere in the world.

Romero Practice. Professional, Ethical

The Romero Practice brands itself as a professional, ethical firm always working for its client best interests. We always remember our clients name and our client’s goals are our goals too. We work to be the nucleus for our client’s tax, business and growth targets: a business foundation site if you will. We want to be the accounting firm that travels with, or brings our clients into the future. And that future can be the technology future or business future or personal futures. “Clients will want to deal with The Romero Practice because they know we will be with them from start to finish and always looking to do better.”

Years in the Business

Happy Clients

Having not lodged a tax return for over 10 years and suffering from medically diagnosed anxiety, to say the thought of doing my tax made me very nervous would be an understatement. When came a time I could put it off no longer. The comfortable environment and professional one on one approach provided by The Romero Practice made this process extremely easy, even for someone with my condition. I would really like to thank Chloe and her wonderfully dedicated family at The Romero Practice for lifting a huge weight off my shoulders with an unbelievably positive outcome. See you at tax time and thank you again.
