Mark Wilkinson joins BDO
Audit, tax and advisory firm, BDO, has sought to expand its presence in the superannuation space.
The company announced this week it had appointed superannuation specialist, Mark Wilkinson, to head up its superannuation service offering, effective from 1 July.
Confirming Wilkinson's appointment, BDO Sydney managing partner, Grant Saxon, said having a specialist on board showed BDO recognised the importance of wealth and retirement planning and was adapting to current market demands.
"Our clients need hands-on expertise to guide them through the complexities of superannuation requirements in Australia," he said.
"This is becoming a highly regulated industry and clients are looking for expertise as well as practical, hands-on advice.
"Creating the new position and bringing Mark on board is a very deliberate move which is in line with the broader BDO strategy," Saxon said.
