PITCHER Partners was a finalist for the Professional Services Award.
The accounting and advisory firm opened its second Melbourne office in Dandenong South in May 2013.
Managing partner John Brazzale said the area was home to Australia’s largest and most dynamic manufacturing hub.
“It is diverse and widespread and hosts world-class tourist destinations, major retail, commerce and educational centres and has rich agricultural land and a burgeoning residential sector,” he said.
“Dandenong is set to become the thriving capital and multicultural heart, so an office in the region is an ideal location.”
Pitcher Partners participates in the South East Melbourne Manufacturers Alliance (SEMMA), South East Melbourne Innovation Precinct (SEMIP) and South East Business Networks (SEBN).
“We will continue to invest our time, energy and resources in forging strong relationships with key business, political and community leaders and influencers in the region,” Mr Brazzale said.
Pitcher Partners Melbourne has become the fifth largest Melbourne-based accounting firm since it opened in 1991, with 42 partners and more than 600 professional and support staff across two locations.
It specialises in providing services to family-controlled, privately owned and small public businesses.
