Accounting and advisory services firm, Moore Stephens has expanded its Australian footprint with the merger of two local firms that will trade as Moore Stephens Queensland and Northern New South Wales (Moore Stephens QNNSW) as of May 1, 2018.

The merger of Central Queensland’s Powers Financial Group and South-East Queensland/Northern New South Wales firm DKM Group would re-establish Moore Stephens’ Australian network presence in Queensland.

The firm would also be well positioned to take advantage of anticipated growth across the state and into Northern NSW, the global mid-market accounting and advisory services network said.

Moore Stephens Australia’s chief executive, Peter Antonius said Moore Stephens QNNSW would offer a full suite of accounting and advisory services, with the expertise to support clients in key industry sectors.

Moore Stephens QNNSW chairman and former Powers Financial managing director, Ian Congram said joining the Moore Stephens Australia network meant that clients would also get that same standard of support wherever in the world they want to do business.

Greg Mallam, managing director for the new Moore Stephens firm and previous managing director for DKM Group, shared the sentiment.

“Moore Stephens QNNSW clients will continue to benefit from a full-service offering that includes business advisory, taxation, general accounting, SMSF, corporate finance, research and development, and auditing,” he said.
