An update across the Nexia ANZ Network
A&NZ Partner/Director Conference
The Sydney office hosted the 2017 A&NZ Partner/Director conference in April. Partners and Directors across Australia and New Zealand met over two days with a focus on how we can work closer as a network and continue to evolve in order to service our clients and our staff.
Riding for Country Kids
A team from Nexia, including Brent Goldman, Jeff Pillon, Jess Scott and Sylvia Liang of our Sydney office, plus Graeme Andrews of our Canberra office, and cyclist Allan Toose, recently rode more than 420km from Wagga Wagga to Orange in support of Royal Far West’s ‘Ride for Country Kids’.
More than $600k was raised in support of this fantastic charity and every cent raised will go directly towards helping country kids. For more information about Royal Far West, please visit: www.royalfarwest.org.au
Adelaide
Trump era economic focus
In February 2017, the Nexia Adelaide office partnered with Bankwest to host an Economic Update with guest presenter Savanth Sebastian (Commonwealth Bank economist), who discussed the state of the economy in a “Trump era” and was well received by our clients.
Christchurch
Nexia NZ created
On 31 March, our Nexia New Zealand firm began operations as a new entity in new offices at 123 Victoria Street, Christchurch, nestled amongst lawyers, bankers, share brokers and property and financial advisors. This is a very exciting time for the firm as it sheds the individual identities of HFK and Marriotts, following the merger of these well-respected firms to form Nexia New Zealand.
To further test the resilience of the new practice and its community, which in late 2016 had met the Christchurch CBD rebuild ‘half-way mark’ in the aftermath of the 2010 and 2011 earthquakes, the city has been faced with more adversity due to the devastating fires on the Port Hills.
Perth
Best in the west
The Perth office was honoured to be awarded the Xero WA Partner of the Year for 2016 and is continually working on building its client cloud platform, “Nexia Live”.
The practice has appointed four new Associate Directors, Brenton Lawrence in Business Advisory, Muranda Janse Van Nieuwenhuizen in Corporate Advisory and Audit and Assurance, Nigel Dias in Audit and Henko Vos in Corporate Advisory.
One of our clients, Timothy Lyons, the Managing Director of One Atmosphere, has recently been awarded WA Business News’ 40 Under 40 Leader Award. The awards celebrate the passion, vision and achievements of Western Australia’s finest young business people and the contribution they are making to the future of our great state. Nexia enjoys celebrating the successes of our clients and is proud to stand alongside them through all achievements.
Sydney
Rebranding refreshes network
In February, along with a significant number of firms across the network, the Sydney office changed its brand identity and logo. This change was a result of an extensive rebranding effort by Nexia International affiliated firms worldwide, and designed to mirror the success and transformation of our growing network. The rebrand has been an extremely positive step for the network with more than 51 firms globally adopting the same look and feel.
