Moore Stephens in Melbourne has appointed ex-Bentleys Melbourne Managing Partner, Scott Phillips, as a Partner in its Audit Division.

Mr Phillips joins Moore Stephens following 15 years with Bentleys Melbourne, the last two as Managing Partner. He brings to Moore Stephens almost 20 years’ experience as an auditor and highly developed practice development and management skills.

Mr Phillips said he felt a great affinity with the values and ambitions of Moore Stephens in Melbourne and the national network. “I thoroughly enjoyed my time with my previous firm and gained an enormous amount from my time there,” Mr Phillips said. “Moore Stephens nationally and internationally is committed to being a leading mid-tier network and I want to be a part of that,” he added.

Mr Kevin Neville, Managing Partner of Moore Stephens Melbourne and Chairman of Moore Stephens Australia, said that Mr Phillips will be an exceptional asset to the Melbourne firm and the network. “Scott brings to us not only audit knowledge and experience of the highest calibre, but also shares our vision of building a firm and a network that is committed to the mid-tier and the best interests of its clients and its people,” he said.
