About

A long-standing advisory firm entering a cleaner next chapter.

Pinn Deavin was established in 1971 to give business owners proactive advice, not just an after-the-fact set of accounts. Five decades on, the firm still works the same way: understand the business, get the numbers right, and help owners make the next decision with confidence.

1971

Established

Over that time the practice has advised clients across transport, building and construction, health services, hospitality, pharmacy and professional services, in accounting, business advisory, self-managed super and financial planning. That range is built on long client relationships rather than a menu of products.

Experience carried forward with care.

The firm is entering a new chapter under incoming principal Selma Krcic, keeping the people, history and standards clients know while sharpening the focus on accounting and business advisory.

Next chapter

Selma Krcic

Incoming Principal
