Mr Ward, a former senior partner and head of M&A at Crowe Horwath, joins BDO on Monday and will add to the strength of the existing corporate finance team in Brisbane.
The former head of M&A at big four firm EY, Mr Ward has over 25 years of corporate finance M&A experience and will look to deal with the growing demand for M&A services in Brisbane.
“Deal activity and demand for our M&A services in Brisbane is on the increase. In the current lower growth environment, corporates are looking for acquisitions to achieve their objectives, and Baby Boomers continue to look for opportunities when planning for their succession,” said BDO corporate finance partner Steven Sorbello.
“Queensland is home to a wide range of substantial and attractive businesses, many of which are already our clients. David’s appointment bolsters our strong corporate finance capabilities locally and nationally, and allows us to ensure that we deliver exceptional service in this area.
“David will work across a wide range of industries and specialises in divestments, acquisitions, capital raisings and private equity-backed transactions.”
