Accounting firm BDO has announced it will join forces with PKF in the eastern states, after dumping its Sydney and Melbourne offices in March.
BDO said it had finalised integration discussions with PKF’s East Coast Practice, in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane, which will take effect from July 1.
BDO’s Sherif Andrawes said the integration would provide stability for the firm, which cut loose its NSW and Victorian member firms in March, in favour of PKF.
“We also want the market to know that, with options for full service global firms getting fewer and fewer, this integration provides another option for large organisations that are looking for greater choice, and it also provides greater capacity and expertise in specialised services from small to medium enterprises,” Mr Andrawes said.
Mr Andrawes said BDO’s existing clients would not be affected by the changes.
“BDO in Western Australia remains an independent, strong and growing practice that will continue to be recognised as a leader in the Perth accounting market.”
