The firm appointed Travis Rickard as partner in the audit and assurance and corporate advisory division in Adelaide and Paul Apolloni as partner in the business advisory and tax consulting division in Wollongong.
“Travis is well respected in the South Australian business community and brings significant expertise,” said Corey McGowan, audit practice leader for Adelaide.
“His appointment means that our growing audit practice will be able to better engage with our existing clients, and it also enables increased independence through audit partner rotation.”
Mr Appolloni’s appointment has also been welcomed by the Wollongong team.
“Paul’s appointment comes at a time of strong demand for quality business advisory, taxation, wealth advisory and SMSF services,” said Ben Fock of HLB Mann Judd Wollongong.
“HLB Mann Judd Wollongong, is the only mid-tier accounting firm in the Illawarra area and Paul’s appointment strengthens the firm’s capabilities and resources. Paul has been with HLB Mann Judd since 2013 and has over 13 years’ experience in the areas of business advisory, taxation consulting and self-managed superannuation funds. He is a welcome addition to the partnership team.”
Tony Fittler, chair of the HLB Mann Judd Australasian Association, said that Mr Rickard and Mr Apolloni were “strong appointments that reflect the ongoing growth and success of the network”.
“Audit and assurance, tax consulting and advisory services have always been key services offered by our member firms, and we are continuing to see good growth across Australasia in these areas,” he said.
