Who We Are

About Us

Overview

Founded in Sydney on 1 February 1985, Walker Wayland NSW was established through the merger of two long-standing firms, Walker Meares & Co and Wayland & Wayland, each with more than five decades of service to the Sydney business community. This rich legacy is reflected in the deep experience and continuity offered by our current leadership and partners.


Today, we are recognised as a leading mid-tier accounting and advisory firm with a proud tradition of independence, insight, and integrity. We are a principal member of Walker Wayland Australasia Limited, an association of over 20 firms across Australia and New Zealand. Our international reach is further extended through BKR International, a global association of independent accounting and business advisory firms with more than 160 member firms in over 500 offices across 80 countries.


These strategic affiliations ensure our clients receive the responsiveness and personal attention of a local firm, with access to national and global expertise when required.


Whether advising a growing business, supporting a not-for-profit, or guiding a complex enterprise through strategic decisions, we remain focused on building enduring relationships and helping our clients and people achieve their full potential.

Richard Hewitt, Co-Founder TCN Group
"As an Australian start-up growing your business Nationally and Internationally can be overwhelming without the right support. Choosing Walker Wayland as our Accountant and Business Advisors was one of our first decisions and proved to be one of our best decisions. The professionalism and expertise they shared simplified the process required for our company to grow into 4 companies operating in 5 countries."
Darren King, Co-Founder & Managing Director Fast Charge, Australia
"We’ve been working with Walker Wayland for eleven years. From when we were mostly occupied with what Pantone colour to tan our first office sofas with – once we move out of my kitchen of course – to buying our second office and strategizing new investment opportunities to leverage our cashflow, David Ross has kept us on the straight and narrow towards financial goals aligned with our business make up and core values. Walker Wayland’s personal and ready approach has made them an integral part of Blow’s success."
March D’Altilia, Director Blow
"Walker Wayland NSW has been providing audit services to ASHM for many years. They have always provided an excellent service; our audits run smoothly from planning to completion and our audited reports have been provided according to agreed timetables. Technical issues, such as recent changes to accounting standards, are always discussed in advance to minimize the impact on the delivery of the audit. The Walker Wayland NSW team have also been very responsive to ad-hoc queries when ASHM has needed assistance on specific technical matters or needed an introduction to an overseas accounting or tax advisor. I have always found the Walker Wayland NSW team to be both friendly and professional in all my dealings with them and they are always happy to assist."
Ian Johnson, Chief Finance & Operations Officer Australasian Society for HIV, Viral Hepatitis and Sexual Health Medicine
"Many years have passed since our Accountant joined Walker Wayland NSW and we became their client. Our business has grown over those years and Walker Wayland NSW has grown with us. As Owners we separated our business accounting from our personal accounting and for a number of years have had the services of two different Partner teams looking after our financial well-being. Walker Wayland NSW has been a steady strength for us while our Finance Managers have evolved. Apart from Walker Wayland NSW constant attention to our needs we have benefitted substantially from their ability to stand by us through challenging times and their skills and expertise have often contributed to our successful outcomes and progressive business evolution. In particular, we refer to our dealings with some of the giants in Australian industry, our international financial requirements, GST explanations to our global and domestic clients and dealings with the ATO. It has been a harmonious and good working relationship and we feel we have been in safe hands for many years."
Roslyn McLeod, Founder and Chair Arinex
"The Satellight team rethought how our internal systems connected, providing us live information and intelligence on our business. This presented a significant time saving, and pleasingly provided management with much more insightful information on which to base our decisions and manage day-to-day operations. The information systems Satellight were able to set up also presented an opportunity for us to lead our market through providing clients with live information on the status of projects."
Patrick Lynch, Chief Financial Officer Arinex
