Two advisory firms based in South Australia, Crosby Dalwood and Warnecke & Co, have announced their merger to establish Count Adelaide, the first Count partner firms to trade under the brand since it underwent a refresh in May.

Headed by Managing Principal Peter Burrows, the merged firm brings a combined 70 years of experience in providing accounting and wealth advisory services in South Australia.

“[The merger] is a terrific endorsement of the business’ growth strategy,” Count chief executive, Hugh Humphrey, said.

“We are pleased to see the Count brand expand across the country, cementing our position as one of Australia’s leading integrated accounting and wealth services providers.”

Burrows said he was looking forward to creating further opportunities for clients in South Australia by leveraging the joint expertise of the new Count Adelaide business.

“This merger brings strong capabilities from the Count community into one business, under a strong, nationally recognised advisory brand,” Burrows said.

“This enhances our client service proposition and employee value proposition, helping us to attract new clients and employees who are familiar with Count’s success.”
