Accountant websites in Melbourne and Sydney
We’re preparing two separate website speed scoreboards: one for Melbourne and one for Sydney. Each will compare websites only. No accountants have been scored or ranked yet.
TWO SEPARATE CITY SAMPLES
Choose your city
Melbourne and Sydney will have independent candidate reviews, scans and scoreboards. One city’s websites will not affect the other city’s ranks.
SYDNEY
Sydney accountant websites
We’re preparing a separate Greater Sydney sample. No accountant scores or rankings are published yet.
How the Sydney scoreboard will workA PRACTICAL WEBSITE CHECK
What to look for on an accounting firm’s website
This guide can help you understand what a firm says about its services and how to make an enquiry. It is not accounting, tax, legal or financial advice.
Check that the listed services fit your question
Read the firm’s own service descriptions and note whether they address the kind of help you are looking for. If it is unclear, ask the firm directly.
Look for a clear first step
The site should explain how to make an enquiry or arrange an initial conversation. Confirm the engagement scope and how fees are explained with the firm before proceeding.
Use a secure document-sharing route
Before sending tax, identity or financial records, ask whether the firm provides a secure client portal. Do not send sensitive documents through an ordinary website form.
Check contact details and mobile usability
Look for readable contact information, working links and a page that is easy to use on your phone. The free speed check measures only the website’s technical performance.
THE SCOREBOARD
How the score will work
- Three fresh mobile Google Lighthouse runs per website, in the same disclosed measurement window for each city.
- The middle score (median) and range of the three runs will be shown.
- A city scoreboard stays unpublished until at least 10 eligible websites have all 3 complete runs.
- Every list is a selected sample, not a complete directory of accountants in that city.
The score describes a website’s mobile lab-test performance. It does not rank the accountants or their professional services.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Fair questions
What does the accountant scoreboard measure?
It compares mobile website speed using three fresh Google Lighthouse runs for each eligible website. It does not assess accounting work, advice, fees, registration, tax outcomes or client satisfaction.
When will a city scoreboard be published?
A city list will be published only after at least ten eligible, unique accounting-firm websites in that city have three complete, comparable mobile runs in the same measurement window.
Does a higher score mean an accountant is better?
No. The score is about the website only. It is not a measure of an accountant’s competence, advice, registration, fees, suitability or results.
Can I ask for a correction or removal?
Yes. Email <a href="mailto:hello@uptoscratch.au">hello@uptoscratch.au</a> to ask a question, request a correction or ask for a business to be removed. There is no charge.
Questions or corrections
If your accounting practice is included in a future sample, or you have a question about the method, email hello@uptoscratch.au. Corrections, re-scans and removal requests are free.
