Booming resources companies are putting Perth on the consultants’ map

AS many of the management consulting sector’s global brands have established a presence in the booming Perth market, local boutique player Momentum Partners has quietly been expanding its national reach.

The lines defining management consulting are becoming increasingly blurred as the sector adapts to a leaner market.

In the first of a four-part series featuring EY Entrepreneur of the Year nominees, we spoke to Bill Beament about the extraordinary growth of Northern Star Resources.

Accounting giant KPMG has bought mining-focused management consultancy firm Momentum Partners in a transaction estimated to be worth about $5 million, adding to the flurry of recent professional services deals.

Deloitte has become the latest of the big four to get involved in a wave of professional services deals, acquiring the boutique tax specialist KD Johns & Company which will make the post-merger firm the state's biggest accounting partnership.

Accounting firm KPMG is launching a business ‘accelerator’ that is designed to assist early-stage technology ventures and bring them together with major companies in the energy and resources sector.
