Crestani Partners was founded on a simple principle: delivering exceptional accounting, audit, and advisory services with a personal touch.
Our story began in 1985, when James (Jim) Crestani established his own practice after starting his career as an auditor at Coopers & Lybrand. With a vision to provide clients with a more personalised and responsive service, Jim built a firm grounded in integrity, expertise, and long-term relationships.
Over the years, our firm has been defined by the strength of our client relationships—many spanning decades, with some partnerships lasting over 45 years and across generations. This enduring trust reflects the consistent value we deliver.
Today, Crestani Partners combines deep experience with a forward-looking approach, supporting a wide range of industries including construction, manufacturing, logistics, property development, engineering, and retail. With a strong foundation built by Jim and strengthened by our team—led by Associate Principal Christopher Dowsley—we continue to uphold our core focus:
- Exceptional service tailored to each client
- Specialist knowledge in accounting, audit, and taxation
- Long-term relationships built on trust and results
From our beginnings in 1985 to the present day, Crestani Partners remains committed to helping clients achieve success—locally, nationally, and globally.
