Actelion has experienced and enjoyed a great working relationship with Bates Cosgrave. They have advised on and processed all our employment related taxes for many years with ease and the utmost professionalism. This includes a commendable holistic service on the recent employee share scheme changes. I would personally recommend Bates Cosgrave.

Bates Cosgrave came highly recommended before I decided to move back to Australia, as they have the capacity to understand complex issues beyond the Australian border. From my perspective, my choice of advisor must be technically strong, personal and professional, responsive, prudent, practical, transparent and trustworthy. I am pleased that Bates Cosgrave delivers all of these as part of my relationship with them.
