SW Accountants & Advisors (SW) has strengthened its footprint in Australia with the strategic merger of Sydney-based firm Kreston Stanley Williamson (KSW).
The deal, which is effective 3 March, is part of the company’s “continued” expansion plan.
KSW, led by managing partner Michael Goodrick and supported by partners Kamal Thakkar, Quang Tat, Darren O’Malley, and Ben Barter, joins SW with a 30+ member team.
This integration increases SW’s Sydney team to more than 100 staff members.
SW CEO Duane Rogers said: “We are incredibly proud to welcome such a talented and experienced team to our Sydney office. With their deep expertise in professional practice and their reputation as trusted advisors, KSW will significantly enhance our service offerings in the region.
“Their commitment to supporting their people’s career growth and expanding their service portfolio perfectly aligns with our goals as we continue to strengthen our position in Sydney.”
With over 50 years of experience in the Sydney market, KSW specialises in accounting, auditing, tax, and business advisory services across a wide range of industries.
These include professional and financial services, manufacturing, software and technology, start-ups, construction, maintenance, storage, advertising, media, mining, retail, and property.
The merger is expected to strengthen SW’s core divisions, particularly business and private clients and assurance and advisory services.
This latest move builds on SW’s recent expansion efforts, following the addition of key partners, including Greg Will from Armstrong Dawson in 2022 and Vanessa Priest and Kirsty McDonnell in 2024.
KSW managing partner Michael Goodrick said: “We are focused on creating career pathways for our people and expanding our services to meet the growing demands of our clients.
“This partnership will empower us to deliver even more comprehensive solutions, including audit, corporate finance, and specialist tax services, while ensuring that our team has access to a broad range of professional growth opportunities.”
