SW International is pleased to announce that our member firm in Australia, SW Accountants and Advisory, is again expanding its presence in Sydney through a strategic merger with Kreston Stanley Williamson (KSW), a respected Sydney-based firm, effective 3 March 2025. This merger represents another important milestone in our continued expansion, further strengthening our capabilities and commitment to providing top-tier service to clients across Australia and Asia Pacific.
Duane Rogers, CEO of SW Australia, expressed his enthusiasm about this strategic move: “We are incredibly proud to welcome such a talented and experienced team to our Sydney office. With their deep expertise in professional practice and their reputation as trusted advisors, KSW will significantly enhance our service offerings in the region. Their commitment to supporting their people’s career growth and expanding their service portfolio perfectly aligns with our goals as we continue to strengthen our position in Sydney.”
Under the leadership of Managing Partner Michael Goodrick, and supported by fellow partners Kamal Thakkar and Quang Tat, Darren O’Malley and Ben Barter, KSW’s team of 30+ professionals is integrated into SW, expanding our Sydney presence to over 100 dedicated staff. With more than 50 years of experience in the Sydney market, KSW brings with it a well-established reputation for delivering comprehensive accounting, auditing, tax, and business advisory services across key industries such as professional and financial services, manufacturing, software and technology, start ups, construction and maintenance, storage, advertising and media, mining, retailers and property.
Michael Goodrick, Managing Partner of KSW, commented, “The culture we’ve cultivated at KSW has been the result of decades of hard work and commitment. We’re excited to join SW, whose values and culture align with ours. Their focus on building lasting relationships with both clients and people is something we’ve always stood by. We are confident that this partnership will empower us to deliver even more comprehensive solutions, including audit, corporate finance, and specialist tax services, enabling us to continue to support the evolving needs of our clients while offering exceptional career pathways for our team. This opportunity will allow us to better serve our clients and expand our professional reach, both nationally and internationally.”
The expansion into Sydney follows the addition of key partners, including Greg Will from Armstrong Dawson in 2022 and Vanessa Priest and Kirsty McDonnell in 2024. This continued growth enhances SW Australia’s ability to deliver high-quality services across a range of sectors and solidifies its reputation as an employer of choice in the accounting and advisory industry.
At SW, we believe our ability to attract high-calibre talent speaks to our strong values, culture, and commitment to growth. This expansion is a significant step forward, reinforcing our global presence and enhancing the value we bring to both our people and our clients. As our network continues to grow, we remain focused on driving innovation, fostering collaboration, and ensuring long-term success for all those we serve.
