Activities, Events and Staff Movements
Christchurch
DK Alexander Chartered Accountants joins the Nexia Christchurch office, with team members relocating to the Victoria Street premises.
The merger comes as Kipp Alexander moves towards retiring after a longstanding and reputable career. Kipp, who joins Nexia as a consultant, acknowledged the decision was made as both firms have closely aligned values and are driven to deliver an excellent standard of client service.
Our Christchurch office also welcomes Bruce Gemmell as an independent director to the board. A chartered accountant and professional director, Bruce brings a wealth of professional services management and governance experience.
Sydney
On Tuesday 8 March, our Sydney office celebrated International Women’s Day, recognising the women – partners, staff, clients and friends – who are an integral part of the firm. The day consisted of a morning tea and a presentation by Kristina Irish COO, and Chairman who highlighted the many strategic initiatives underway to support diversity and inclusion within the firm.
Staff were also given an opportunity to meet with senior leaders and ask something of our leaders or about their development or career.
The office also celebrated a number of milestone staff anniversaries in recent months, including:

Brisbane
Our Brisbane team had a tumultuous start to the year with covid cases on the rise after New Year’s. The team decided to shut both offices down and continue business-as-usual, working from home for just over a month.
Once staff returned to the office, they moved to one side of the floor, and through this change realised that collaboration and interaction improved with options of flexible WFH conditions too.
After a couple of weeks testing out the move, the Brisbane city office flooded, and staff were back to working from home once again.
