After years of working together, I have nothing but positive things to say about Shawn, Jamie and the team at Evolve. The level of care, communication and commitment to solving a vast variety of challenges is always meticulous and nothing short of fantastic. I would highly recommend Shawn and the team to anyone needing both personal or business. services.

I cannot thank Shawn enough for helping me to improve my financial literacy. I no longer feel anxious about the world of numbers – because Shawn is able to pitch the learning to my skill level and also my areas of interest. He has supported me with taxation and more recently small business establishment, demystifying the rules and regulations and enabling me to make informed decisions. It’s not just that you trust Shawn – it’s that the work he does with you, and what you inevitably learn, makes you more able to trust yourself.

Shawn is such a genuinely lovely person to work with, and know! He has now progressed into our family accountant and we recommend his services to every one who asks (and some who don't). Cannot speak highly enough of Evolve Accounting Solutions whole team!

Shannon T

Shawn has always made us feel welcomed and valued and always takes the time to explain everything. We really appreciate you and the team that supports us

Craig & Leo

We have worked with Shawn and his team since the very start of opening our business, and now over six years in they have guided us every step of the way. Shawn has been amazing to deal with, with his helpful and attentive approach. He has led us through many business decisions and always keeps us up to date and well informed on all aspects of running a small business, particularly their taxation planning which has been invaluable. We would highly recommend Evolve Accounting Solutions to any business, large or small.

Shawn at Evolve Accounting Solutions has been fantastic in his help and skill set with out business. Kate and I started Fish out of Water Hyde Park with very little knowledge in regards to business accounting, but thanks to Shawn and the team at Evolve they have helped us grow by over 300%. Not only has he helped us grow Fish out of Water Hyde Park, he has been instrumental in helping us open our second business CupKates Dessets. We can't thank Shawn and Evolve enough for their support and guidance

Chris & Kate - Fish out of Water Hyde Park

I've been with Evolve for over 15 years. I actually took my accountant for granted for many of those years - until I had to get involved due to a change in family circumstances. All of a sudden I was running the shop, buying the stock, selling, organising staff and doing the pays. How wrong was I to take Shawn and Jamie for granted. They guided me every step of the way, no question was stupid even though I felt it was. They would often say, "they couldn't do what I do and they went to University to do what they do". I'm sure there's accountants and accountants but Evolve have become my friends, they have reassured and guided me every step of the way. Through COVID my business has been closed many times, but they worked so hard for me to get all the government support that I was entitled to. I will be forever grateful. It would have been easy for me to close my door, but I've worked so hard for 20 years and I want Rob's Jeanery to stand the test of time so with Evolve's help we can make this happen. Many thanks Evolve

Starting up your own business is a daunting task, and I don’t have an accounting bone in my body, Jamie and the team at Evolve not only helped me right from the very beginning, but also as my business grew into what it is today. Being incredibly proactive and advising me on best practises from everything from cash flow through to tax planning has taken away the burden of the task and allowed me to focus on what I need to do to grow the business even further. Having worked with the team at Evolve for over 10 years its great to know that I have someone looking after my business and helping it to fulfill its potential
