For a practice that’s only been trading under the TaxAssist banner since late 2023, that’s serious momentum, and anyone who’s spent five minutes with Onkar knows exactly why it happened.
Onkar ran his practice under another franchise before transitioning to TaxAssist Accountants franchise. Since then, growth has come almost from marketing and leads from TaxAssist Accountants National Marketing as well his clients telling friends, family, and fellow business owners to give Onkar a call.
That word-of-mouth culture shows up clearly in his reviews. Onkar has built up 48 five-star reviews on Google, one satisfied client at a time. Supreet Sangha, a small business owner, put it well:
“I’ve had a great experience working with Onkar as my accountant. He’s knowledgeable, responsive, and takes the time to clearly explain things in a way that actually makes sense. As a small business owner, it gives me peace of mind knowing my finances and compliance are being handled properly. He’s been very helpful with tax advice, structuring, and making sure everything is done correctly and efficiently. What I appreciate most is his professionalism and the fact that he genuinely cares about helping my business grow in the right direction. I highly recommend Onkar to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy accountant.”
That mix of technical know-how and genuine interest in how a business is actually doing is what keeps clients coming back, and keeps them sending others through the door.
On paper, Onkar is well qualified for it: a Bachelor of Commerce (Hons) from Calcutta University, plus a Cert III, Diploma and Advanced Diploma in Accounting, with specialised training in property tax law and entity tax returns. He also holds a mortgage broking licence and refers clients to TaxAssist Finance, so clients buying a home or refinancing don’t need to go looking elsewhere. With English, Punjabi, Hindi and Bengali all spoken in the office, he’s genuinely accessible to Caroline Springs’ diverse local community too.
But the numbers and qualifications only tell half the story. Onkar is known around Caroline Springs for more than tax returns. He’s a familiar, well-liked face in the local community. Outside the office, he founded and coaches a local junior basketball club and also serves as a Head Coach with the Melbourne Tigers, one of Australia’s most respected basketball organisations. Whether he’s mentoring young athletes or guiding clients through important financial decisions, the approach is the same: show up, put in the effort, and genuinely care about helping people succeed.
That combination of sharp technical accounting, straightforward advice, and a real stake in the local community is exactly why small business owners in Caroline Springs treat Onkar as more than their accountant. He’s become the business advisor they lean on for the bigger decisions, not just the tax deadlines.
Five hundred clients is a milestone, not a finish line. Onkar and his growing team at TaxAssist Caroline Springs are still welcoming new clients, individuals, sole traders and business owners across Caroline Springs, Burnside, Taylors Hill, Ravenhall and the surrounding suburbs.
