Effective from 31 March, the entire GAP Accounting team integrates with Nexia Melbourne resulting in two additional partners and eight extra specialists.
Nexia said incoming partners Doug Abrahams and Eva Bonner had four decades of industry experience between them and had built a reputation across accounting, consultancy and bookkeeping with specialist expertise in the medical sector.
The joint managing partners of Nexia Melbourne, Paul Clements and Vito Interlandi, would continue to oversee the operation which now boasts 13 partners and an overall team of 80.
Mr Interlandi complimented GAP’s culture and said the merger was an opportunity to expand.
“We see this merger as an opportunity to grow as a business, which in turn provides our clients with access to more people, more knowledge and confidence that our growth strongly enables shared success,” he said.
“Growing our presence in Victoria is a priority for both Nexia Melbourne and Nexia Australia as we continue to support our clients and their goals.”
“GAP has an ingrained culture of development and appreciation, as well as a reputation for servicing clients to the highest standards, making it a great fit for Nexia Melbourne’s vision.
“Success isn’t finite, the team at GAP understands this and joining with Nexia reflects this sentiment.”
Mr Clements said GAP had spent 19 years cultivating its exceptional reputation.
“As both firms combine their operations, we will ensure we are executing our strategic growth agenda, continuing as an efficient, sustainable and client-focused team,” he said.
“This merger emphasises us putting our words into action. Twelve months ago, when Vito and I stepped into the managing partner role, we were both committed to expanding our reach and refocusing our approach to optimise our position in the market with the aim of becoming a top 10 Victorian firm.
Nexia Melbourne is an autonomous part of the wider Nexia Australia and New Zealand Group supported by global links to Nexia International, with 34,500 staff worldwide.
GAP Accountants is a Melbourne-based firm that specialises in wealth accumulation and asset protection.
