White Clouds on Sky 

Coronavirus (COVID-19) is causing significant disruption to businesses and households throughout Australia and the world. Robert Goodman Accountants are maintaining a close watch on developments.   We have activated our contingency planning that would allow us to continue our service delivery with minimal disruption.   We have no reported cases of illness relating to COVID-19 within Robert Goodman Accountants or persons who have come into contact with our team. In the meantime, we are seeking to minimise the chance of exposure and spread of COVID-19 by limiting meetings to telephone or video-call technology.

Opening Hours: 

From 8:30am Tuesday 31 March our office will be closed to receiving face to face appointments and dropping off/picking up documentation . However, it will be  'business as usual'  as we will continue to be working remotely with the highest level of security and technology.  

Open for phone/Zoom appointments as follows: 
Monday:    8:30am - 5:00pm 
Tuesday:   8:30am - 5:00pm  
Wednesday:  8:30am - 5:00pm  
Thursday:  8:30am - 5:00pm 
Friday:  8:30am - 5:00pm  
Saturday:  10:00am - 5:00pm by Appointment
Sunday:   Closed
8am and 6pm weekday appointments available.  Contact reception for details.

Whilst our offices are closed, we remain fully operational and are 100% committed to helping our clients through this worldwide emergency.  Arrangements will be made to ensure that planned meetings will proceed using telephone or video-call technology such as Zoom.  If you need to get in touch or send in your work, we ask that you do so by telephone, email, fax or mail. You can also use a free iOS or Android PDF Scanner App on your phone to scan and email documents to us. For larger files, please get in touch with us and we can arrange a secure dropbox connection.  Please note, if you mail documents to us we have a 24 hour policy before opening documentation. We request that any cheques be made payable to RGA Accounting Pty Ltd and direct deposited to our bank account rather than mailed.  

We have reached out to a significant number of clients over the last few weeks and will continue to reach out and try and assist in any way that we can.  If you have not yet heard from us, or need urgent assistance, we urge you to get in touch.  We can assure you that we will be available to support you and your business throughout this challenging period.

Stay healthy and positive!
