A handheld concrete finisher is disclosed for finishing concrete from an upright or standing position. The concrete finisher includes a concrete finishing tool, a handle assembly, a multi-axis pivot assembly attached between the handle assembly and the concrete finishing tool, and a control mechanism that allows an operator to selectively prevent the handle assembly from pivoting or rotating about one of the pivot axes. The multi-axis pivot assembly allows the operator to pivot the handle assembly both side to side and backward and forward relative to the concrete finishing tool, and to prevent the handle assembly from rotating while still allowing the handle assembly to pivot side to side. The finishing tool is detachable and can be any one of a number of tools for preparing concrete, based on the job requirements. The handle assembly can be adjusted for the operator's height and/or to extend the operator's reach.
