History:
The antecedents of PKF in Australia go back to Wilson Bishop & Henderson, which was founded in Melbourne in the 1890s. Over the years, this firm developed a national practice with offices in Melbourne, Adelaide, Alice Springs, Brisbane and Darwin. In 1968 the firm, then known as Wilson Bishop Bowes & Craig, became one of four founding members of the International Association of Pannell Kerr Forster.
On 1 January 1980, the firm merged with a Sydney firm and a Perth firm and together, they formed the national accounting firm Pannell Kerr Forster. They were the first member firm of the International Association to take, as its sole name, the name of the Association.
Pannell Kerr Forster was joined by a Townsville firm in early 1980, and in 1991 the Sydney firm changed hands as Bowie Wilson Miles joined the partnership.
From 1994 each Australian office became legally independent and PKF in Australia now operates as a national association of firms.
During the 1990s Pannell Kerr Forster was joined by firms based in Adelaide, the Gold Coast and Mount Barker. In January 2000 the name Pannell Kerr Forster was replaced by PKF, and since then the firm has been joined by a further three firms based in Canberra, Darwin and Hobart.
Following the closures of the Darwin, Townsville and Perth firms, and the merge in 2007 and 2008 of the Brisbane, Melbourne and New South Wales firms to form an East Coast Practice, PKF in Australia, now has six practices operating out of 11 capital city and regional offices located across Australia. Nationally, we have 85 Partners and more than 650 staff. The global network now comprises over 240 member firms and exclusive correspondents in around 125 countries. |
