Kearney Group has been named a Top 100 Accounting Firm by the Australian Financial Review for 2017.

“Coming in at #58 on the Top 100 Accounting Firms List is an incredible achievement for a boutique practice like ours,” says Business & People Partner, Jen Purnell. “I’m so pleased for the entire team.”

The Top 100 Firms list looks at and judges firms across a range of criteria including revenue, evidence of year-on-year growth and staffing.

The Top 100 firms generated total revenue of $9.99 billion in the past financial year, up 10 per cent on the previous year.
