WHK Group Limited ('WHK') is a listed Australian company that has grown steadily through strategic acquisitions and organic growth since 1997.  WHK initially operated under the Investor Group name.  Investor Group provided a model that many firms recognised as a better way to deliver quality services to clients - a total business solution.  We understand that the better we understand our clients, the better able we are to deliver high quality advice clients can rely on.

This understanding led to a range of firms joining Investor Group.  These practices were from Melbourne, then broadened to regional Australia and before long crossed the Tasman to New Zealand.  In fact, some of the leading accounting practices throughout Australia and New Zealand were the first to join this new model to enable their clients to access a broader range of services.

How WHK was named

The name WHK came from the first major capital city firm to join Investor Group, which was Williams Hatchman and Kean (WHK).  At this time all firms were operating under their own separate names and as the firms utilised best practice across the group many firms adopted the WHK name.  From mid 2009 most New Zealand firms dropped their predecessor names and simply became WHK.

The model has tried to be replicated by many, however the success of WHK has always been the quality of firms that joined.  A high benchmark of quality client care and a culture that is down to earth and practical ensures the only firms that are chosen to enter the group can deliver these same high quality services.
