Poon and Forte is principally a family operated accounting practice. The firm was founded in 1980 and is one of the longest operating professional services firm in the Eastern suburbs of Melbourne. The firm was founded by Mr. Michael Poon who is a qualified FCPA and has extensive experience in public practice as well as in large commercial enterprises. We have a long history of assisting a wide range of clientelle, from individuals and their personal taxation needs, to SME’s (small and medium size enterprises) that range from small sole practitioners to corporate entities involved in various industries. We pride ourselves on building a strong foundation and relationship with our clients. Customer service is important to us and we endeavour to utilise our years of experience to provide quality advice and service that allows our clients to feel they have us to support them into the future in all areas of accounting and taxation matters. We pride ourselves on developing a practice that is built on honesty and reliability. Over the last 40 years, the practice has assisted clientelle from diverse backgrounds. The relaxation of immigration restrictions in the 1980s, saw us developing relationships with a wave of immigrants, including refugees, from regions such as Cambodia, Vietnam and Southern China. A growth in referrals over the years have allowed us to develop a strong base of clientelle from Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan and HK. Fostering a trusting relationship with each client is important and this has allowed us to nurture and see our clients grow and develop over the years, from new migrants into successful enterprenuers who have established their own businesses and portfolios of investments for themselves and their following generation.
