CHRISTOPHER PASSMORE
Partner-in-Charge, Encino Office
Withum
Chris Passmore’s accounting career has been extraordinary. Before joining Martini Partners as a senior accountant in 2006, he spent several years working with publicly and privately held businesses while at PricewaterhouseCoopers. He understands both the accounting firm and client side of the business, having served as a corporate controller for a publicly held manufacturing company. At Martini Partners, Passmore progressed quickly through supervisory and management positions and became managing partner before age 40. He went on to spearhead 30% growth in revenue while revitalizing the brand, which took the firm from a local accounting firm to a regional player. In early 2022, Martini Partners was ranked as one of the 15 largest firms in the San Fernando Valley.
In February 2022, Passmore led the firm through an exceptionally successful merger into a top 25 national accounting firm, and currently serves as Withum’s partner-incharge of the Encino office.
