National BRW Awards - Providing Real Value to Decision Makers is Key to Success

Sydney and Newcastle based accounting firm Lawler Partners Chartered Accountants were delighted to be recently acknowledged as winners in the BRW Client Choice Awards 2011 in the categories of;

• Best National Professional Services Firm (Revenue under $50M)
• Best National Accountancy Firm (Revenue under $50M)
• Best New South Wales Professional Services Firm

Winning these prestigious awards is a tremendous achievement as the recognition is determined entirely on client and colleague feedback.

Other competing organisations included some of Australia's most outstanding Big 4 and top tier professional service firms as well as boutique, mid tier and the largest players in the legal, accounting, engineering, business consulting, human resources and public relations sectors. 

In the past decade the firm has grown from its founding office in Newcastle to Sydney, and now has a national presence through Lawler Chartered Accountants, an independent alliance of like-minded firms in Melbourne, Brisbane and Rockhampton.

The Lawler Chartered Accountants National Alliance is currently seeking firms in Perth, Adelaide, Hobart and Auckland to further strengthen this initiative.

Managing Director, Steve Meyn, said the assessment process for each award clearly demonstrated that existing and new clients responded to the corporate strategy of operating with a focus on providing real value for money for their clients.

“Lawler Partners Chartered Accountants’ focus has, and always will be about responding to client needs; providing long term pro-active relationships, partner access, pragmatic solutions, and offering a thorough and systematic approach. We aim to always make time for our clients and staff, and to be sensitive to the human aspects of being in business.”

“To win national awards as the best professional service firm, best accountancy firm and best in state is very satisfying. However, we will not rest on this achievement, and will always look for ways to improve on our service promise to our clients and colleagues. We also recognise that it would not have been possible without the quality people that we have within our organisation,” Mr Meyn said.

The firm provides services in audit, business advice, business recovery and insolvency, corporate finance, financial planning, forensic accounting, hospitality and gaming, marketing, superannuation and taxation.
