PKF Australia

NOT JUST an accountant is PKF’s declaration that our firm and our profession are built on people, values and impact, shining a spotlight on the human leadership, purpose and responsibility behind the numbers.

Meet Bob Bell, Board Member and Managing Director of our Sydney and Newcastle offices. More than four decades into his career, he continues to demonstrate that the strongest leaders are those who never lose sight of what matters most.

“Accounting has given me the opportunity to work with incredible people and help them achieve their goals, but life is about much more than work. Family, friendships, community and the experiences we share along the way are what give it meaning.”

A respected adviser, occasional poet, devoted grandfather and passionate community contributor, Bob has played a significant role in the success of our network.

Here's to the dads and father figures who show up, lend a hand, share their wisdom and cheer us on through every stage of life.

Thank you for the positive influence you have on your families, workplaces and communities.

Happy Father's Day.
With love, from all of us at PKF. 💙

Many people assume tax residency changes when they move countries.

In reality, it often changes when life does.

A new relationship. A permanent visa. A decision that feels personal, not financial. For temporary residents, these moments can quietly shift tax status from temporary to permanent, with long-term income tax consequences.

Our latest article by Pip Ujdur explores the life events that trigger residency changes, what the ATO looks at, and why timing matters more than most people realise.

Secondments are about more than experiencing a new office – they’re an opportunity to build new connections, broaden your experience and learn alongside colleagues across our network. ✈️

We’re delighted to welcome Janice and Sara to PKF Adelaide, where they’ll be spending the next two months on secondment. Janice has joined Jasmine in the Audit team, while Sara will be working alongside Nicole, John and the Estates team.

The pair have already received a warm Adelaide welcome, from being greeted at the airport to exploring the Central Market with the team and coming together for a morning tea yesterday.

Opportunities like these give our people the chance to step into a new environment, share knowledge across teams and build relationships that extend well beyond their home office.
