Hello Frankston! Highview launches seventh office with acquisition of respected accounting firm.

Today Highview Accounting & Financial officially opens its doors in the beautiful bayside town of Frankston—and we couldn’t be more excited!
This new office marks a major step in Highview’s continued growth, as we proudly welcome an experienced and highly regarded local team into the Highview family. As part of this expansion, Highview has acquired the longstanding practice Cornell Irving Partners from Directors David Cornell and Genevieve Irving—a respected firm that has faithfully served the Frankston community for many years.
Adam Pasquill, one of Highview’s trusted Partners, is taking the reins of the new Frankston office. Many clients will already know Adam from his nearly 10 years at Highview Accounting & Financial, Cranbourne—where he’s built a reputation for his down-to-earth approach, technical expertise, and genuine care for clients. This new chapter sees Adam stepping into a broader leadership role, guiding the newly merged team and continuing to support the community he grew up in.
“Opening our Frankston office has been a goal I’ve worked towards for a long time,” Adam said. “It’s incredibly meaningful to be leading this location in an area that’s shaped so much of who I am.”
As part of this transition, David Cornell will be stepping away from the business to pursue other interests. We thank him for his many years of service and dedication to clients in the region. His legacy of care and quality will continue under the Highview name.
Genevieve Irving, who has led the practice alongside David for over a decade, will remain with the business—continuing in a hands-on role as a Senior Accountant.
“After so many rewarding years as a Director, I am thrilled to welcome Adam. His depth and wealth of accounting knowledge will make him a valuable asset to both staff and clients,” Genevieve said. “It’s a new chapter I’m genuinely excited about—continuing to support our clients while being part of a new dynamic team.”

Importantly, the full team from Irving Cornell will be staying on board, with the same friendly faces in the same office—now backed by the expanded resources and services of Highview.

A New Chapter for Adam
Adam’s journey with Highview began in 2016. Since then, he’s earned his CPA, stepped up as Associate Partner, and now leads Highview’s seventh location with confidence and care. For many across Highview, this next step for Adam comes as no surprise—his passion for supporting clients and building trusted relationships has always been clear.
Adam is known for his strong leadership, clear communication, and ability to connect with people from all walks of life. He’s played a key role in mentoring younger Accountants, driving internal improvements, and helping businesses navigate complex challenges. As he steps into this new leadership role in Frankston, Adam brings with him not only technical expertise, but a genuine desire to build a positive, supportive workplace culture for both clients and staff.
“I love being able to simplify things for people and give them confidence in their numbers,” Adam said. “At the end of the day, it’s about trust and reliability.”
Frankston now joins our growing network of Highview locations across Victoria and Queensland, including Cranbourne, Prahran, Mornington, Ringwood, Bass Coast and the Gold Coast.
We’re proud to now call Frankston home—and we’re looking forward to settling in, supporting local clients, and becoming part of the community.
