What do our clients say about us?

Mike, Brisbane

Our small business was in real trouble. We just had no idea who to talk to and time was running out. Our Accountant recommended de Jonge, Read and with their assistance, a formal arrangement with Creditors (deed of company arrangement) was put in place and we now are in a position where we can continue to trade and repay our creditors in a formal, stress free and affordable manner. We can now sleep at night!

Lorna, Runaway Bay

What do you do when you just can't talk to your business partner anymore? We got de Jonge, Read in to mediate between the Partners and impartially find the best way for our Company to move forward

Greg, Brisbane

I was made bankrupt after my business collapsed. I had no idea on how the Insolvency process worked and ultimately sought employment. A friend of mine recommended de Jonge, Read and after meeting with them, I was able to have my bankruptcy annulled (section 73 of the bankruptcy act), have the bankruptcy record REMOVED from my CRA report and have since opened a new business and purchased a new home. I could not have done this without the extensive knowledge of de Jonge, Read.

Sam, Brisbane

We had a huge tax bill as a result of some serious health problems and bas statements not being lodged. What a shock it was when we found out about a wind up notice from the ATO. de Jonge, Read sorted everything out. Not only did they get the application dismissed but they also got us a considerable reduction in the bill and we are now able to repay the debt over a period of time with no interest.

John, Melbourne

I was facing bankruptcy and with a young family was particularly concerned with loosing the family home and having my wife and kids on the streets. de Jonge, Read introduced me to a bankruptcy trustee and assisted me through the process which ultimately allowed me to retain my house and dignity.

Tom, Toowoomba

With the tax man breathing down our necks it looked like we were going to lose the whole lot. We contacted de Jonge, Read and they explained everything to us, got us some extra time and then negotiated a settlement.

Thomas, Redcliffe

We couldn't understand why this particular Creditor was so aggressive. We had already tried to explain to all of our Creditors what our situation was and most agreed to be patient. The problem was once one started proceedings then everybody else got nervous. The people at de Jonge, Read & Associates got everybody settled down, negotiated a payment schedule with all our creditors that allowed us to get on with business.

Leanne, Gold Coast

Not only did these Guys fix our problem/s but they also put us on to an excellent Accountant.

George, Roma

Thanks very much de Jonge, Read, the answer was obvious but it took someone from the outside looking in to see it. The re finance package that you helped us with worked a treat, fixed our short term problem and gave us some working capital.

Marika & Anthony, Gold Coast

Well we put our Company into voluntary administration but didn't lose the shirt off our back. Thanks to de Jonge, Read they made sure everything was organised, explained everything to us in plain English and were with us the whole way. We really appreciated this as we had no idea what was happening and were extremely scared.

Kat, Gold Coast

We had bills from the business and bills from personal debts all mounting up, we didn’t know how we were going to survive. Our accountant referred us to de Jonge, Read & Associates. They were great, we eventually had to liquidate the business and file for bankruptcy but they held our hand throughout the process. They showed us that there is life after bankruptcy and we are now on the road to recovery, thanks guys.

Steve, Brisbane

There is nothing worse than feeling like you have failed. No matter what we did we just weren’t getting on top of our problems. After discussing our situation with our professional advisors it was our solicitor that gave us de Jonge, Read’s telephone number. The best call we ever made. There was no judgment, the people there gave us advice that we understood. de Jonge, Read assisted us in listing our business for sale, negotiated a quick sale by an expressions of interest process which then allowed us to pay all our accounts and start again, refreshed.

Steve, Bethania

We have a great relationship with our accountant but he couldn’t help us deal with our creditors. The advice that de Jonge, Read gave us was unbelievable. They were able to negotiate us out of having to liquidate the company and avoid bankruptcy. Our accountant enjoyed working with these guys because they know what they are talking about. It was clearly evident that having de Jonge, Read deal with our bankers was also an added advantage as the bank really took what they said seriously.

Graham, Brisbane

I can’t say enough about these guys. They have helped me consolidate my two businesses into one profitable easier managed entity. They assisted me with the winding up of the old business which included dealing with employee and creditor issues including some personal guarantees. I have taken heaps of their business cards to give to my business associates and would recommend these guys to anyone who needs help in tough times with some truly out of the box thinking.
