Partner, Cranbourne

Facilitating businesses to grow & evolve is Dave’s passion. His strength is building great relationships & supporting his client’s journeys to success.

Dave is a Certified Practising Accountant (CPA), with a Bachelor of Business from Monash University. His experience spans across 15 years in the accounting, taxation, financial analysis and general business practice. Dave brings knowledge and experience to the Highview team, gained from working with a range of firms and mentors.

Interestingly, this is not the first time Dave has been a part of the Highview team; Dave worked for Highview in the early 90’s while still completing his accounting studies. After a few years Dave ventured out to expand his experience – and to Highview’s benefit re-joined the team as a senior manager in 2014, bringing with him a vast bank of knowledge and management experience.
Dave’s experience includes an international stint in the UK. It was during this time that he seized the opportunity to expand his knowledge on the workings of big organisations by taking on roles with multinational corporations.

Dave’s previous role as a Client Manager has enabled him to demonstrate the skills and passion for providing business services; including advice, accounting and taxation services to his clients, and a yearning for continual improvement.

He enjoys playing sport, listening to a range of music, surfing and spending time with his wife and children. Dave spends his weekends socialising with friends and his family, visiting areas and events around Melbourne and working on the wish list of improvements he has around his home.

Dave’s strength is people. His job involves getting the most out of his team, offering support and mentoring. It’s something he enjoys. When asked why he thinks people is his strength Dave says “To lead people, you’ve got to take time to understand them, engage with them, help them. That doesn’t come just by adding up the numbers.”

Today Dave’s passion is in facilitating businesses to grow and evolve. Dave’s focus is on acting in the role of business mentor to help clients develop the full potential of their business. In this role Dave joins clients on their unique journey and provides the tools and knowledge they need along the way to make the right decisions.

Dave’s aim for his clients parallels his own philosophy and personal journey; having a focus on his own career growth and business success while maintaining balance in his life with his wife and children.

In response to changes to legislation, David has completed his training and appointment as a Limited Authorised Representative, able to assist in the setup, administration and wind down of SMSFs.
