A PKF publication outlining relevant business issues for you
MD WELCOME
As we enter Quarter Two of the 2025 Financial Year, we look back on a very busy few months and look forward to the great things ahead of us to finish off the 2025 Calendar Year.
A strong contingent from Sydney & Newcastle travelled to Bangkok for the PKF AsPac conference in July, a fantastic opportunity for the PKF network to come together, exchange ideas, explore new opportunities, and strengthen relationships. These global and regional meetings are a critical part of maximising the benefit of our international network. By drawing on diverse expertise and experience from around the PKF world, we ensure our leaders continue to grow and improve the way we deliver exceptional service to our clients.
It has been a year of incredibly fruitful sponsorships as we continue to partner with the nib Newcastle Knights and the Hunter Valley Wine Show. With 47 years of operation in the Hunter, our commitment to the region is unwavering and we are excited to continue our support into 2025. To read more on these sponsorships please see pages 13 and 18.
With October now only a month away, preparations are well advanced for the Annual Breast Care Breakfast in Newcastle, the Hunter’s largest fundraising breakfast. Together PKF, The Herald, and NEX have been running this event for 18 years and have raised over $320,000 for the Hunter Breast Care Nurses Education Group. This year we are aiming to raise over $50,000to support this important cause. A big thank you to all the sponsors and those who have already bought tickets, please go to page 6 to read more and purchase your tickets - Thursday, 17 October, starting at 7am.
This year's PKF Sydney Race Day was another great success, with PKF Partners & staff joined by a large group of clients& referrers, old & new, to celebrate valuable relationships. The day was a true celebration of the collaborative spirit that fuels our business opportunities, the energy and enthusiasm from all participants made for another very special event. Having said that, the Punters Club is overdue for a win!
Finally, we were delighted to promote 42 team members across the firm this financial year, including the advancement to Partnership of David Hutchison, Kevin Helmers, Jackie Marriott and Trent Ruprecht. It’s incredibly rewarding to see the dedication and hard work of these individuals being acknowledged, and I congratulate them on their well-earned achievements.
This edition of Pulse covers a range of topical subjects, and as always if you find yourself with questions or in need of assistance, our experts here at PKF are here to help.
