About
Our Values
Mackenzie Goldberg Johnson Limited was established in 2004 to provide help and guidance to businesses and individuals in financial distress.
Our mission is to provide ethical advice in everyday language and to work with you to deal with your creditors. We believe that there’s a market for plain, straightforward advice on the solutions available to help you deal with your creditors fairly and to rebuild your personal life or your business free of debt worries. We’re not a call centre so you will get help to suit you, not to suit our computer system. We’re not listed on the stock exchange, so we’re not driven by the need to hit profit targets. If we can’t help, we will tell you. If we can solve your problems, we will do so.
There are tools a Licensed Insolvency Practitioner can use to help businesses and individuals. We’re not here to judge – we’re here to listen and help. Fear of insolvency is a huge burden – let us share the weight and help you to move forward.
