Lawler Partners, the nationally recognised accounting and business advisory firm has announced that it will combine forces with prominent Sydney CBD based accounting firm Vouris & Bell. The announcement follows Lawler Partners recent win as the Best Small Accounting Firm and Best Small Professional Services Firm in the BRW - St George Client Choice Awards. From August 1st 2006, the two firms will operate under the Lawler Partners name.
The merger is consistent with the growth strategy of the Lawler Partners Group, who also has offices in Newcastle, and had been seeking a like minded Sydney accounting firm to further expand their practice and provide enhanced business services to clients.
“We are excited about the opportunities this merger brings for our clients and our staff, and we are extremely keen to develop the potential of this new partnership. Vouris & Bell is a good cultural fit with our firm and offers several services that will complement and further enhance client value,” commented Managing Director Terry Lawler.
The merged firm will have 10 principals and more than 150 staff, and the close proximity of the two offices means that operationally the merger will not impact on staff and clients.
According to Mr Lawler the business philosophies, client service approach and client profiles compliment one another. Combined, the two firms can capitalise on over 40 years of experience and a broader base of industry-specific knowledge, creating an even stronger local presence.
“The leading driver behind the expansion is the desire to increase the value offered to our clients and the relationships we have supporting our accounting and legal colleagues. Vouris and Bell also takes great pride in these relationships, and in the results they achieve.”
