Prosperity Advisers has strengthened its accounting and financial services with the appointment of a specialist tax manager, two senior business service and tax managers, an audit manager, and a corporate assurance director. The appointees will work across Prosperity’s Sydney, Newcastle and Brisbane offices.

Peter Mayers, a former partner for Earnst and Young, will take up the position of corporate assurance director, while Calvin Xu, formerly of PricewaterhouseCoopers, has been appointed audit manager. Tina Zgela has been appointed a specialist tax manager, while Deborah Matthews and Maree McLean will take on the positions of business service and tax managers.

Allan McKeown, chief executive of Prosperity, said the appointments were part of a core strategy to strengthen its Sydney and Brisbane services following double digit growth.

“The easing skills shortage is creating opportunities to recruit highly skilled professionals to supplement our existing team in the delivery of first class advice to help our clients combat the current economic and financial conditions,” McKeown said.

Mayers was the leader of Ernst and Young’s Sydney risk services practice and chairman of the firm’s assurance learning and development committee, with experience in audit, internal audit, risk management, and due diligence services.
