The HLB Mann Judd Australasian Association has expanded with the addition of two new offices, strengthening its audit and corporate advisory practice in Lismore in New South Wales and Robina in Queensland.
The new office locations reflect the rebrand and restructure of the former Audit & Assurance Division of Thomas Noble & Russell (TNR), and will be led by three experienced partners: Adam Bradfield, Richard Watkinson and Kevin Franey.
The new member firm brings the HLB Mann Judd network to 10 independent member firms located in major cities and regional business centres in Australia, New Zealand and Fiji, as well as 2 representative firms.
Tony Fittler, chair of the HLB Mann Judd Australasian Association, said: "The deep experience of Adam, Richard and Kevin in audit and corporate advisory offers a diversified skill set for clients in a number of areas, including the government, co-operative and not for profit sectors as well as large private companies including ASX listed groups and foreign-owned corporations. This aligns perfectly with our commitment to providing exceptional client service and technical excellence.
“All three partners display an excellent cultural fit and alignment of values with the HLB Mann Judd network. Their strong focus on delivering exceptional client service and their commitment to technical excellence will further enhance the Association's reputation as a leading provider of audit and corporate advisory services in the Australasian region.
“They have been a part of the Association and key contributors to the network for over 15 years as an affiliated member and we welcome their addition as a full member specialist audit and corporate advisory practice,” said Mr Fittler.
Mr Bradfield added: “Strategically we’ve been considering our market presence for some time and it made sense to rebrand and restructure to a well-respected mid-tier practice where we were already part of the family.
“We believe the timing is right to expand within the Association so we can continue to invest in innovation and technology to support our clients’ needs and that of our 25 full-time specialist auditors.”
