THE PKF MACK STORY
In 1978, David Mack established DJ Mack & Co, a
Chartered Accounting firm based in West Perth. David led
the firm until 1987 and the firm grew to be a well-respected,
mid-tier practice with a reputation for high quality advice
and exceptional client service.
In 2011, Mack & Co joined the PKF Australia and
International networks, becoming PKF Mack & Co recognising the strength of the PKF networks.
Today we continue to grow and build upon our solid
reputation in the Perth market. From September 2014 we
became known as PKF Mack - a name change that reflects
our strong commitment to our history and demonstrates our
focus on the future - where innovation, collaboration and
efficiency highlight the way forward.
