de Jonge Read

Jack was my initial contact and advisor. Everything discussed back then was everything that has happened up until now. No booby traps, just a well implemented plan. Very knowledgeable. I was then appointed to Farha who has been absolutely wonderful to deal with. Farha has a such professional disposition, however, doesn't forget that she is… Read more

dealing with people in vulnerable situations, and brings comfort to the entire process. Together, they are such a great team. Even after the completion of my strategy, the invitation to follow up with any further questions was a welcome reassurance i had made the right choice. Thank you de Jong Read for allowing me to move forward in life without a massive monkey on my back.

I can’t thank Jacinta, Matt, Farha, and the entire team at de Jong & Reid enough for the incredible support they provided during one of the most difficult periods of my life. A few years ago, my small business partnership started to fall apart when the debts began mounting rapidly. What began as a promising venture quickly turned into a nightmare,… Read more ·  1

leaving me overwhelmed with sleepless nights, constant anxiety, and stress-induced depression. The pressure felt relentless, and I often felt completely trapped with no clear way forward. At first, I was highly sceptical when I came across de Jong & Reid. The idea of getting real, effective help with such a complex situation sounded almost too good to be true. I hesitated and second-guessed whether they could actually deliver on what they promised. Looking back now, my only real regret is that I didn’t reach out to them much earlier. From the very first conversation, their team showed genuine empathy, deep expertise, and a clear, practical path forward. They handled everything with professionalism and care, lifting a huge weight off my shoulders and helping me regain control of my future. If you’re facing similar challenges with business debts or a struggling partnership, I highly recommend contacting de Jong & Reid without delay. They truly made a life-changing difference for me.

From the first meeting with Matt and Lorrell from DJR they showed a lot of compassion in understanding my background situation and what led to my poor financial situation and outstanding taxation obligations. From there onwards they guided me on understanding the various potential options available so that I could move forward with my life. Up… Read more ·  1

until this point I felt like I had a noose around my neck and was unable to function properly and was suffering daily anxiety. Throughout the process Matt and Lorrell were clear in their communications with a number of teams meetings, phone calls and emails. They were always available to answer my questions / calls and always responded in a clear and compassionate way. Through their help and support I was able to reach a successful agreed outcome with my creditors. As a result the noose has been removed, I am functioning freely without the anxiety. One thing Matt said to me very only on, "you won't regret working with us", you will only regret not talking to us earlier. Matt was 100% correct. I wish I had known about DJR years ago but now at least I have a clear path forward thanks to Matt, Lorrell and the team at DJR.
