David Collins, Partner, Synstrat Accounting, Doncaster, Victoria
“Mark Cummings was a great asset and source of quality advice when it came time for me to buy into the practice. The process was very smooth, and Mark’s legal services were extremely beneficial. I have referred several colleagues to Mark in the years since, and will continue to do so.”
