We could not have opened our business without Katie, Johann and the rest of the team. They helped us collectively with our financial plans and mentored us prior to opening and have continued to support us in every aspect of the financial side of our small biz. Katie tailored a package for us to suit our needs, with no hidden costs so we knew exactly what we needed to do and when. The team is prompt, experienced and actually care! HIGHLY recommend!

I've been working with Propeller Advisory since I launched my business 10 months ago, and they have been SO incredible to work with. No question is a silly question and they are always quick to respond and happy to help. As a small business owner it's so important to have a good understanding of my expenses and budget and I feel at ease knowing I have the support of their team. Thank you Bree for an amazing Xero training and for spending extra time teaching me how to manage my new company structure. Feeling so relieved to have everything in order and set up correctly. And thank you Katie for always responding to my many emails! Highly recommend if you're looking for savvy and professional accountants!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Bree to develop my business plan and financial budget. From the moment I walked into the office, I felt welcomed and at ease. She took the time to understand my vision and concerns and provided me with a tailored business plan to help me achieve my big vision. I would highly recommend Propeller Advisory to anyone looking for trustworthy and knowledgeable accounting and business advice. Thanks Bree! I am excited to continue to work together!

The guys at Propeller, specifically Johann, were super responsive when I urgently required some tax advice regarding a redundancy settlement. I couldn’t have been happier with the level of service & advice.

"We’ve used Katie and Johann for our business and personal tax needs for 7+ years - their consistent, exceptional advice, knowledge and care hasn’t only saved us money but has given has great piece of mind when making ‘big’ financial decisions. We’ve had many accounts and financial advisers but Propeller is truly exceptional at what they do."

“I struggled to find an accountant on the Gold Coast that really supported women in small business - but then I found the team at Propeller! Johann is my accountant there and is so supportive and explains numbers in a really digestible way which is important for someone whose strong suit IS NOT numbers!!! Propeller also offer a heap of different programs and support which I find really exciting and helpful, depending on what you are after."
