Steve Creelman - CA
Director - Business Services Partner
Upon returning to public practice in 2000, Steve worked closely with high net worth individuals, small and medium sized business and superannuation clients in a friendly “family oriented” accounting and investment services business. This role entailed maintaining a client focus whilst also managing the financial and investment arm of that business. During this period, he further expanded his investment and financial services horizon dealing with investment markets, financial planning, superannuation and succession planning issues.
Since 2008, Steve has managed and operated his own public practice, expanding his practice with the acquisition of a practice based in Oakleigh. Steve has had a close working relationship and was the mentor of his business Partner Mark Caruso for over 15 years. This working relationship was formalised in 2016 with the merger of Mark Caruso’s clients to SC Accounting.
In addition to membership with the Institute of Chartered Accountants (ICAA), Steve has been a Registered Tax Agent for 30 years and has successfully completed an Advanced Diploma in Financial Planning and is a CA SMSF Specialist, a recognition and acknowledgement of his competency within the superannuation sector.
