Client Testimonials
“McHenry Partners have been supporting our business for nearly 10 years now.
In recent years we changed over to the Xero accounting system. The training we received was excellent and transition smooth and now the financial management side of the business takes less of our time and we know exactly what our financial position is at any point of time. Whenever we have a business matter to discuss, we always receive sound advice making us feel comfortable when important financial decisions need to be made.”

“We have had a strong business relationship with McHenry Partners for 20 years now! We continue to find their accounting, taxation, business consulting and financial services to be very professional and have been a great support for us during our business journey.”
John Spence
Prestige Caravans Geelong
“McHenry Partners have been our Accountants for many years and we have always found them to be professional and very supportive. When I retired from the business they were able to assist with the sale of my shares to the remaining partner and my transition from the business. Their Financial Planning services were able to set up my Self Managed Super Fund and help me manage my investments which I am very happy with. I have even appointed Steve McHenry as my back up Power of Attorney given the trust and confidence I have.”
Craig Harrison
“Making the decision to start my own business meant I needed to seek professional business advice. McHenry Partners were able to advise me on the right entity to use, guide me on compliance matters I needed to navigate, set us up on Xero and provide training on the software (which we have found to be a breeze to use) and answer all our questions.
It certainly helps getting our business off on the right foot with no unwanted surprises to occur.”
Ben Mitchell
Stinton Advisory
“Computers and accounting I have never been fond of. In the past I used Excel spreadsheets to keep track of income and expenses, word to prepare my invoices and MYOB to manage my payroll. McHenry Partners demonstrated the benefits of Xero and convinced me to transfer to Xero and the only regret is that I didn’t do this sooner. Now my accountant can log into the file and assist with any of my queries. My payroll and superannuation are also simplified with Xero. McHenry Partners have helped guide me with my personal investments and to get better finance arrangements.”

“We have been utilising McHenry Partners services for 15 years. They encourage us with initiatives that we could benefit from, promptly respond to our requests and always try to minimize our taxes in appropriate ways. McHenry Partners have been a great sounding board for any business or investment matters we would like to discuss. Their client social events are pretty good fun! We would highly recommend their services.”
