Count cements QLD presence with accounting clients deal

Publicly listed financial firm, Count Limited, has announced to the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) that its Gold Coast-based arm has acquired accounting client books from two local firms.

The clients, acquired from MJG Partnership and Harrison & Harrison, would gain access to the suite of advisory, wealth, and services provided by the broader Count network. Advisers working under the Count Gold Coast banner would also benefit from the new “engagement opportunities” as a result of the partnership.

According to the statement, the acquisitions, expected to be completed by July 2025, would grow Count Gold Coast’s recurring revenue by $2.8 million and take its annual revenue to approximately $18 million.

“These acquisitions… consolidate Count Gold Coast’s presence as a leading accounting and wealth services provider in the region,” the firm said in the statement made to the ASX.

“This is consistent with Count’s stated strategy of creating a portfolio of scale equity partnerships.”

Count Group retains a 69.2 per cent stake in Count Gold Coast.
