    Well, if you google "Southbourne Tax Group" you'll come up with a lot of spam for them and I wouldn't touch any company whose professional ethics were so bankrupt that they'd consider spamming to be appropriate link building.

    Lets assume that these are the guys you are talking about - http://www.thesouthbournegroup.com/contact_us.php
    Hard to tell, the Southbourne Tax Group are so far down the first page because all the spam talking about them is sitting higher
    Anyway, they're in Hong Kong, you are in Hong Kong so they might be good for you
    However, because they spam I wouldn't recommend you use them
    I'd shop around a bit more and avoid the Southbourne Tax Group

    How much are they paying you to spam them on DP?

    Not just here but well known tax websites like Goodreads!
    Leaving this up as an example of how spam can backfire. Will be interesting to revisit in a month or so. Right now the legit website is buried under the spam. Will the Southbourne Tax Group website recover? Will the spam get cleaned out? Will they respond?

    Here's a twitter search to follow: https://twitter.com/search?f=tweets&vertical=default&q=@southbournegrp&src=typd

    FWIW this thread is now 31 minutes old and it's already on page 2 of the google results for Southbourne Tax Group
