Pre 2002

David and Bryan were originally sole practitioners who both shared a vision and determination to provide good value, high quality service to clients in Macedon Ranges, Mount Macedon, Gisborne, Woodend and Melbourne.

2002-2014

Langley McKimmie merged in 2005 with RSD Chartered Accountants, an accounting firm based in Bendigo with six partners and over 40 staff. The combined experience, expertise and resources of both offices contributed to a more extensive client service capacity.

In 2014 ownership of Langley McKimmie passed to Andrew Marshall and Janine Orpwood as Principals of the firm. Andrew and Janine have both been with the Woodend firm in excess of ten years, live locally and share the same client based commitment as the founding partners.
