Davenports has helped small and medium businesses, investors and individuals with their accounting, taxation and superannuation needs for more than 70 years.

While our firm’s history is rich in tradition, step into Davenports offices in St Kilda, a short distance from the Melbourne CBD, and you’ll find a team of accountants committed to client services.

We do this by hand-picking the brightest graduates, providing them with ongoing education, training and knowledge sharing programs as well as hands on mentoring and coaching. This attention to training gives them the necessary skills to build solid client relationships. For our clients, this means every one of our staff can provide general and specialist services and advice, as well as innovative solutions for any business and financial issue.

This culture of continual improvement is led by our three partners, who have their roots firmly entrenched in traditional accounting practices but are dedicated to providing progressive financial services to our clients.

Davenports partners are:

• Max Davenport
• Linda Ingham
• Les Silpert

Davenports was born from a merger of Melbourne accountants Davenport Partners, which was established in 1937, and Duval Partners, which started operations in 1990. Incredibly, Davenport Partners was founded by the grandfather of one of our current partners and many of the primary producers and family businesses he provided accounting and taxation services for in the 1930s are still our clients today through second and third generation family members.
