Additionally, we understand that numbers aren't for everyone, and that's ok (that's where we come in). As Chartered Accountants, we have extensive experience in all areas of compliance and Australian Taxation Law.

It's important to note that our relaxed approach does not hinder us from exceeding expectations for our clients, which is why many of our clients choose to stay with us year after year.

"Cameo and her team have supported our business for a long period of time and continue to offer unwavering support with all of our businesses nuances and needs. The advice provided is well considered and a great sounding block when planning around business growth. We cannot recommend Cameo and her team enough."

JESSE ZIELKE

"I've been working with Lemonade Beach Accountants for over five years now. They are honestly the best accountants I've ever worked with (I've had my business 11 years and this was the 4th accountant we engaged with). Cameo quickly understood the nature of my business and helped to set up my Xero correctly so that I can reconcile most things myself. She is quick to reply to any queries and basically just lovely to deal with. Highly recommend!"

KATE MILLER, CHILLI FOX EVENTS

"As a small business owner, I never felt like my needs were important or big enough for accountants, however since working with Cameo I have never felt that way again. Every dollar earned and how it is used has been carefully and critically assessed to ensure the business (and my family) financially thrives. With the planning and advice from Cameo, I know I can always process payroll, my taxes are always paid and I have a forecast in place to help me plan. I can’t recommend Lemonade Beach enough!"

AMY HOWELLS

"I always appreciate the personalised service from Cameo, Bec and the team. I feel like a person and not a number. The team genuinely care about me and my business and how our personal life is interwoven into our business and the business decisions we choose to make. Each interaction is clear with what is to be done and the options available. Trust, reliability and respect are the foundation of our business relationship with the Lemonade Beach crew. Thank you."

TENEALE TAYLOR

"We would highly recommend Cameo and Lemonade Beach Accounting to any SMB using Xero. Our experience has been very positive.

JASON TEBBEY, TFL STUDIO

"We have been engaging the services of Cameo for the past few years for our company JadeStart and have found her to be extremely knowledgeable, supportive and compassionate.

I will happily stay on with Lemonade as a client and highly recommend their services. 10/10. Thank you Lemonade."
