Welcome Chenoweth Accounting!
In January, 2017 Chenoweth Accounting relocated from their home in Bulleen and incorporated into the Finnegan Partners practice.
Chenoweth Accounting was a Chartered Accounting practice operated by Steve Chenoweth and his team.
We have known Steve for almost as long as we have been in practice. Steve has not only been a mentor to us but to his long standing clients. He has assisted our practice with specialist advice and offered a wealth of knowledge on operating a successful accountancy practice.
There are many new exciting initiatives which Finnegan Partners look forward to offer you in the future, however in the mean time we wish to highlight that it is business as usual for all of our existing clients and we will continue to provide the exceptionally high level of service expected.
