After 33 remarkable years, Rob has officially retired, and it was a pleasure to host a celebration in honour of his dedication and loyalty to our firm and the wider DFKANZ community.
Rob joined Everalls in May 1993 as a Manager, became a Director in 1999, and led the firm as Managing Director from 2008. Alongside that, he spent more than a decade on the DFK ANZ Board, serving as Chairman for three terms, and three years on DFK's International Executive.
Clients who worked with Rob will know what he was best at. He could take something genuinely complicated, GST when it arrived, the PSI rules, and twenty years of tax reform since explain it in plain English with the practical consequences attached. He sat on ATO panels for years so he could see the changes coming before they landed, and made sure his clients heard about them first.
Rob has always been steady, wise & astute. He led our team and our clients through the chaos of COVID calmly and kept us all connected throughout. He has given our team autonomy and authority and built the pathway that lets any team member progress to becoming a shareholder and director, which is why the firm you deal with today looks the way it does.
Thank you, Rob, from all of us.
