Fordham expands to Sydney
Melbourne-based business advisory and accounting provider Fordham has announced it is expanding in Sydney due to market demand.
The firm, which was purchased by Perpetual in 2009 and has mostly operated in Melbourne since, will be led by NSW office managing partner, John O'Donnell.
O'Donnell joins the firm from Grant Thornton, where he spent four years and looked after its private held business practice.
He was also managing partner and head of business development and marketing in Sydney.
O'Donnell spent more than 30 years with KPMG, including 17 years as partner.
Fordham national managing partner, Pat Donato, said the expansion would allow the firm to help NSW businesses tackle their issues.
Fordham provides private business and their owners with advice and accounting services.
