How to read this page

A reference should be traceable to a person.

This is not a carousel of anonymous praise. It is a record of who said what, and the context they chose to provide.

Supplied or approved in writing

Every quotation comes from a supplied client reference or text the client approved in writing. Short extracts are taken directly from the full reference.

Names stay attached

Names, roles, organisations, dates, and locations appear only where the client supplied them. Nothing has been inferred to fill a gap.

No manufactured rating

The clients did not provide star scores, so this page does not turn their references into one. It also uses no client logos.

Chapter 01

When the matter was difficult

Proof matters most when the answer is not obvious.

ATO reviews, complex tax positions, and decisions where technical judgement had to produce a defensible result.

“Sridaran had been a friend of my husband for at least the past 12 consecutive years. After a hiatus of a few years, in 2025 my husband approached Sridaran for help with a highly complex matter he was working through with the Australian Taxation Office, one which our accountants at the time had advised offered no legal scope for mitigation. Sridaran accepted the professional responsibility of exploring the prospects for mitigating that matter, and did substantially mitigate it, in a manner that was entirely transparent and therefore legitimate. Sridaran's firm, MS Accountants, now serves as accountants to both my husband and myself. Both my husband and I regard Dr Sridaran to be a professional with a high degree of versatile expertise who is also highly reliable.”

“Since establishing MS Accountants in 2010, Sridaran and his team have acted as the accountants for my businesses. Throughout that time, I have consistently received professional, reliable, and high-quality accounting and taxation services. On one occasion, the Australian Taxation Office conducted a review of the affairs of one of my businesses. Sridaran managed the entire process on my behalf with exceptional professionalism, expertise, and attention to detail. His handling of the review ensured that it concluded without any adverse outcome for my business. I have always found Sridaran to be knowledgeable, diligent, and committed to achieving the best possible outcomes for his clients. I have no hesitation in recommending MS Accountants to any individual or business seeking dependable and highly competent accounting and taxation services.”

01.03

“Sridaran and I have been friends for at least 20 consecutive years since both he and I were colleagues at the same accounting firm in the city of Sydney, and both he and I established our own professional services firms around the same time, in 2010, at localities nearby—he, in North Strathfield, and I, in Burwood. Since then, often, from time to time, I do consult Sridaran for his advice on complex tax issues affecting clients of my firm, advice which he has always provided to me promptly, thoroughly, and in a very professional manner. I have always regarded Sridaran to be a professional with very versatile capability, who is very respectful, and very reliable.”

“Dr Sridaran and his team at MS Accountants have served all our needs in Australasia (that is, Australia and New Zealand) for over 10 consecutive years, a service which we have found to be always entirely reliable and highly competent. Dr Sridaran and his team at MS Accountants work in coordination with our staff (mostly, based in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India) so extremely well that we regard Dr Sridaran and his staff at MS Accountants to almost be part of our organisation, whose scope of operations covers nearly ten countries, including Australia, where we have a substantial subsidiary.”

“For nearly 15 consecutive years, in the very diverse range of businesses that I have been involved in, Sridaran has, for me, always been a most reliable “man of all seasons”, offering me sound support and advice on almost every conceivable business issue that I needed help with. He is highly proficient, and his team at his firm, MS Accountants, is extremely well-trained, and work with our staff, at all times, with seamless effectiveness and efficiency.”

“I have known Sridaran for nearly 15 consecutive years, a period during which he has always served me, my family, and my family businesses (that I own and manage entirely on my own) as a highly sound, versatile source of counsel, and he and his team, functioning almost as a component of our operations, have attended to all our administrative needs in general, including accounting and tax. I have always found the reliability of Sridaran and his team to be of an exceptionally high order.”

02.05

“For a very long time, at least for 10 consecutive years, up to now, Sridaran has served me, and his firm, MS Accountants, has been my accountants. I have always found Sridaran to be highly reliable in the professional services he and his firm have provided to me, and Sridaran to be a highly reliable friend.”

02.06

“I have known Sridaran for over 35 consecutive years now (working and living in each of two countries when his presence in that country and mine overlapped, first, in New Zealand, and then, in Australia) and since Sridaran established his firm, MS Accountants, which as I recall was in 2010, MS Accountants has, for most years since 2010, served as my accountants and does so currently. Throughout that very long period I have known Sridaran, I have been impressed by his unremitting dedication to a high standard of service, which he and his team at MS Accountants have always provided to me. I can always recommend Sridaran, and his firm, as people whom one can always find to be highly proficient, reliable, and duly sensitive to the circumstances and the needs of whom they serve.”

“As Facilio expands its presence in Australia, having a partner who understands the local regulatory landscape was essential. MS Accountants has been our trusted partner for audit and compliance since we set up our Australian entity, and Sridaran's attention to detail and responsiveness have given us confidence in our regulatory compliance standpoint. We value that partnership.”

“Sridaran’s firm, MS Accountants, has been the accountants for at least the past four consecutive years of two companies that I control, a period during which Sridaran has been the person that I have first turned to for any advice I need in relation to my two companies. Sridaran has always provided that advice to me promptly and constructively, but also responsibly. I have always found Sridaran and his team at MS Accountants to be highly professional and reliable.”

03.03

“Sridaran has always very generously helped me in relation to every matter that I have sought his help for at least five consecutive years up to now, help which has encompassed the many diverse businesses that I have carried out during that period. During that same period, his firm, MS Accountants, has served as my accountants, a firm whose staff, like Sridaran, I have always found to be kind, sympathetic, very hard-working, professional, and reliable. I will not choose any other people to serve me.”

“I have known Sridaran for at least five years up to now, for the most part of which his firm, MS Accountants, has been my accountants.

“When I was based in Sydney (which I am currently not), I knew Dr Sridaran for about a year, during which, on a few occasions, he provided professional advice to me, upon my request made of him, on tax and other legal matters, advice which I always found to be both responsible and constructive. I was impressed by how generously and how humbly he served me, attributes of his which I can clearly envisage anyone seeking professional help from an accountant will highly value.”
