Professional experience
Kevin Helmers is an experienced auditor with a focus on using external audit to help his clients improve processes and efficiencies within their business.
Prior to joining PKF and choosing accounting and audit as his field of specialisation, Kevin spent 10 years working in the construction/manufacturing industry. This experience and understanding has naturally led him to work with the manufacturing industry where he can use his knowledge of working within the industry to partner with the client and act as an extension of their internal team, where he understands the culture, the industry and the right questions to ask.
Although manufacturing is a key industry, Kevin also has keen interest and experience in the following industries: Mining, Education, Technology, Aged Care, Not-for-profits and Distribution.
Kevin understands that while he may enjoy external audit, for clients the process of undergoing a mandatory audit can be seen as inconvenient and/or painful. Kevin uses his team-building skills and personable traits to make the process as pain-free as possible for his clients. He believes in talking potential issues through rather than hiding behind email and putting a client at ease at every stage of the process.
Recent examples of work include:
- Currently manages the audit of one of the largest manufacturers in Australia which includes over 15 entities;
- Completed first-year audits of a technology company and helped them become compliant with the Australian Stock Exchange before listing; and
- Currently manages several large clients and ASX-listed clients with a global presence which involves managing component auditors within our network or being the component auditor for the Australian subsidiary.
