Canberra

Staff from the Canberra Office have been working as Christmas Elves collecting goods for the Vinnies Giving Tree Christmas Appeal. Gifts and non-perishable food items have been donated and sent to families doing it tough this year. 
We’re pleased to announce that Angus Stevenson has joined the firm as a Private Wealth Manager. Angus previously worked for a financial advisory firm with five offices across regional NSW. He is a Non-Executive Director of the Future Farmers Network, a not-for-profit organisation which helps young people in the Australian agricultural industry.

Client Events & Networking 

After a 2 year hiatus we welcomed back the in person tax roadshow and networking event. With a focus on professional services income, it was a delight to welcome a range of professionals to our office to dive into this topic. 

People & Culture

Our Melbourne office has also been ramping up their internal people and culture events. The audit and assurance team switched their red pens for paint brushes to attend a paint and sip class and The BA & CA teams took the afternoon off to go bowling. 
The annual holiday party also took place in December, with the entire firm attending a lunch at the Hellenic Museums M Pavillion. A perfect way to wrap up 2022.
