Kennedy Weldemariam

Kennedy Weldemariam founded Kennedy Tax & Business Services in 2010, and in the fifteen years since, has built one of the most recognised and trusted accounting practices on the west side of Melbourne , and well beyond it.

With 25 years of experience across accounting, tax, financial planning, and financial management, his credentials are extensive: a qualified CPA, Fellow Member of the Tax Institute of Australia, member of the NTAA, and ASIC Licensed SMSF Auditor. But what has defined his practice isn’t the letters after his name,  it’s the reputation he has earned through honest, transparent advice, delivered consistently over decades.

Kennedy established the firm after a broad career in corporate and tax practice in Australia. From the beginning, the philosophy has been simple: be available, be straight, and put the client’s long-term interests first,  not just their next return.

That philosophy shows up in how he works and what he tells his clients.

“Doing the right thing in your tax and on time is a peace of mind. I advise my clients to not just look into minimising their taxes, but also to be compliant, consider the business growth, and how to add value for the future.”

Compliance and growth. Obligation and opportunity. That balance is what Kennedy has always stood for — and what his clients, year after year, keep coming back for.
