"I found Shane Macfarlane to be very informative, helpful and generous with his time. Shane soon recognised that the prospect of me needing his advice in the future is limited due to my personal circumstances. Notwithstanding he made my initial consultation very worthwhile and pointed me in the right direction including the next steps."

"Excellent exploratory phone call - and that is comparing it with at least 5 conversations with other supposed experts in Australian / UK tax issues. Communication is the key with such subjects, and this first contact call and follow up is exactly what we were looking for. So far, highly recommended."
