About Samnite Accounting and Advisory

Based in Melbourne, Samnite Accounting & Advisory was founded with a simple vision: to be more than just accountants for our clients. With over 10 years of experience, our founder, Anthony Colella, set out to build a firm that understands the unique challenges of dealing with small and medium-sized businesses and provides the kind of personalised, hands-on service that’s hard to find.

Anthony’s career began like many others in accounting—focusing on compliance and ticking the right boxes. But he soon realised that what he truly valued was seeing his clients and trade businesses grow and succeed.

He wanted to offer more than just technical expertise; he wanted to be a genuine partner in their business journeys. That’s why he founded Samnite, to provide tailored solutions across taxation, accounting, business advisory, bookkeeping, and virtual CFO services. It’s this dedication to personalised service that makes Samnite more than just another accounting firm.

We’re passionate about forming long-term relationships and becoming trusted partners on each client’s business journey. Whether you’re a tradie running a company looking to manage your cash flow better or a growing business needing strategic financial guidance, Samnite is here to help you navigate the financial side of your business—so you can focus on what truly matters to you.
