We know that many of our people want to ‘give something back’ to society, while developing their skills, so we continue to offer a significant amount of time – up to six days per year - for any of our staff or partners to volunteer with our strategic community partners. We aim to collectively volunteer at least 50,000 hours each year, and this year has seen a total of 66,402 hours reaching a staggering 23,500 beneficiaries.
We have continued to invest in our people, clients, and technology. In the past year all areas of our business grew, overcoming a challenging economic and political environment.

We have a broad and well-diversified business with clients spanning a range of industries and sectors. Our core lines of service are Assurance, Consulting, Deals and Tax. We tailor our services to specific client needs and we offer an integrated approach.
