Welcome to Kontominas & Associates, taxation and accounting. We are a small firm that specialises in taxation for small to medium business, individuals and investors.

Why consider Kontominas & Associates?

We believe that there are many benefits we can provide to you. However, where we differentiate from other firms is our relationship with our clients. We consider all our clients as individuals, not just clients. We also understand that attending to your financial affairs with your accountant may not be convenient during trading hours. We have taken this into consideration and have decided to operate our office Monday to Friday, including after business hours and on Saturdays with a prior appointment. Our firm attempts to have its service available 6 days a week and at times that suit you, not us.
