PKF adds to leadership team in Brisbane, Melbourne and Perth
PKF has added David Lehmann and Ludovic Isautier to its partnership teams in Melbourne and Perth, while Tony Corry has joined as a director of assurance and advisory out of Brisbane.
Corry crosses to the accounting and consulting firm after previously spending a decade and a half between EY and Deloitte, while Lehmann and Isautier respectively joined PKF in 2019 and 2013 from KordaMentha and Crowe.
Their appointments follow that of Kevin Helmers and David Hutchison to the Sydney and Newcastle partnership in April, while PKF has also recently welcomed four new directors through its expansion to Darwin via Merit Partners.
A former detective sergeant with Victoria Police focused on fraud, David Lehmann leads PKF’s local integrity risk services practice. Prior to joining PKF, and following 24 years in law enforcement, he spent five as a director in KordaMentha’s forensics division in Brisbane and Melbourne, before which he established and led Deloitte’s forensics practice in Malaysia during a decade at the firm.
Ludovic Isautier becomes a partner in PKF’s tax & business services team in Perth, having spent just over a decade at the firm and its predecessors along with earlier time at Crowe and Bentleys. He advises clients in the energy & resources, manufacturing, construction, and hospitality sectors among others in areas such as sales and acquisitions, international growth, employee mobility, and tax incentives.
Recruited to lead PKF’s technology assurance and advisory function out of Brisbane, Tony Corry returns to Australia after spending three years as an associate director in the Auckland office of EY, having first joined the Big Four firm in Melbourne in 2016. Earlier, he spent seven and a half years at Deloitte, recruited as a graduate in Wellington before first crossing the ditch in 2012.
New offices
Incidentally, all three of the appointee’s offices have recently been upgraded, with the Perth team the latest to relocate from their former address of almost three decades to new digs at 905 Hay Street in the CBD. PKF’s Brisbane branch settled into new Eagle Street offices towards the end of last year, while the Melbourne team shifted to 500 Bourke Street ahead of the Christmas break.
