Deloitte Australia has appointed six new partners to its Perth office, taking its total expansion by July 1 to 11 new partners, an increase of almost 37 per cent on the previous year.
The expansion is part of Deloitte's Australia wide growth, with a further 40 partners promoted nationally.
The new Perth partners are Darren Hall, in audit and advisory; Jamie Hamilton in consulting; Paul O'Brien in risk services; David Ocello and Jonathan Schneider in corporate and international tax; and Ron Van Beek in research and development tax services.
Deloitte CEO Giam Swiegers said by 1 July the Deloitte partnership will have grown to 512 partners and more than 5,500 staff members, a significant increase from its position 18 months ago.
"It is an investment that clearly demonstrates our confidence in the Australian economy, and our own 2015 strategy to grow our firm," he said.
"The Federal Budget highlighted the conflicting trends happening across the economy with the resource sector performing strongly.
"With almost a third of our new partners from Brisbane and Perth, our strategy reflects this growth in the wider economy."
