About Us
We are experienced tax and accounting professionals specialising in working with small business owners and property investors. We are located in Summer Hill, in Sydney’s beautiful inner west. While we might be a local business, our clients come from all around Australia.
To us, your finances and tax are more than just numbers on a spreadsheet. It’s your story, and we work hard to understand the decisions you’ve made, and the direction you want to move towards.
Understanding your story means we can work together to structure your finances so your money can thrive. We are here to help you and your business grow, and to ensure you have the confidence to lean into the short term and long term goals that are important to you.
What Makes Us Different?
We are committed to building long term relationships with our clients. And because of that, we also understand that things change over time. We thrive on pivoting with our clients and providing tax and accountancy advice to ensure that their goals stay on track, no matter what life throws at them.
We also happen to be specialists in plain language, because we think that helping our valued clients understand their money brings greater control and growth to their finances.
Whether you are a small business owner, a working mum or dad, a property investor, or an individual who needs help with a tax return, or even if you have received a letter from the tax office you don’t understand, we are here to help you every single step of the way.
Meet Krystle
With 12 years experience as a highly regarded tax and accounting expert in Australia, Krystle established Summer Hill Tax in 2016 when she noticed there weren’t many accountants who were prepared to take the time to explain Australia’s complicated tax system in plain English.
A self-confessed ‘maths nerd’ from a young age, it was perhaps inevitable that Krystle’s love of numbers would lead to a career in tax and accounting. She loves that there is always a right or a wrong answer; there are no grey areas for interpretation. For Krystle it’s not just about the numbers, but the stories they tell.
She closely follows the unique journeys of all her clients, and she loves that every milestone in her client’s lives is accompanied by a financial change.
On any given day, Krystle can be attending client meetings over Zoom, preparing tax returns, crunching the numbers in Xero and liaising with the ATO on complex client enquiries. She loves helping her clients structure their finances, so their money thrives, their businesses grow, and their goals are met.
Krystle is proud of the modern female led accounting practice she has built. With a strong client base of small businesses, property investors, individuals and young families, she has a reputation for listening and always being there for her clients. She also has a serious passion for gardening, technology and coffee. She loves spending time with her husband and kids, playing with her two big puppies and tending to her plants.

TAX ASSISTANT
Meet Skye
Skye recently became a part of our team at Summer Hill Tax, taking up the role of administrative assistant in May 2023. As a crucial point of contact for our clients, she diligently handles their inquiries, composes emails, and schedules appointments. Skye has been working in the wonderful world of accounting since she was 17, with almost 13 years of experience under her belt. She loves the inherently diverse nature of the accounting industry and how it enables her to encounter people with various backgrounds and experiences.
Embracing remote work has proven to be a tremendous advantage for her, granting her the freedom to establish a harmonious work-life balance and assume responsibility for her priorities and workload as well as giving her more time with her family and beloved pets. Skye is a naturally empathetic person who highly values kindness and respect for others - as long as you don’t get between her and her Red Bull!
