- Community Development Advisor, Far North District Council

The support that Markus provided to us was excellent and at a very critical time during the financial year where reporting and final year figures was required, he not only personally attributed, but also lead his team to provide support to my team. His personal commitment and humble attitude to clarify accountant terminology to us as a bunch of technical engineering minded people was very helpful to us and was greatly appreciated”
