Count completes fresh accounting acquisition
Publicly listed financial firm, Count Limited, has confirmed its North Sydney arm will acquire the accounting and audit client books of Bridgen & Partners, in what will be its fifth acquisition deal of the 2025-26 financial year.
According to a statement the firm made to the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX), the partnership delivers on Count’s “strategic growth agenda of pursuing scale firms” and showcases its “commitment to aligning with firms that share its values and vision.
The deal, which is expected to finalise next month, will see Count absorb Brigden & Partners’ $1.7 million in revenue.
“This acquisition exemplifies our strategy of partnering with high-quality firms and driving sustainable growth,” Count chief executive, Hugh Humphrey, said.
“We continue to see significant growth opportunities in NSW and this acquisition expands Count North Sydney’s scale and capabilities.”
Brigden & Partners is present at two office locations located in the Sydney CBD and Hornsby.
