PKF - Your Partner In Wine… And Business

PKF is proud to once again sponsor the Hunter Valley Wine Show. As we enter our second year of sponsorship, it's clear that our commitment goes beyond the weeklong celebrations of this annual event.

“This sponsorship is about alignment in values and how we both view community. There is a real sense of warmth, support and collegiality in the Hunter, and these values are something we have real alignment with.” said Clayton Hickey, Partner at PKF Sydney and Newcastle.

With clients such as McGuigan’s, De Iuliis Wines, and Petersons, PKF have a deep understanding of the challenges and opportunities faced by those in the industry. “It’s about more than just counting the grapes; it’s about leveraging real business advice. We help our clients create a true legacy,” said Andrew Beattie, Partner at PKF Sydney and Newcastle.

PKF is uniquely positioned to support the Hunter region due to the breadth of services offered by the firm. “We discuss the wider landscape affecting the Hunter, Australia, and the global finance environment. My business is growing, and so am I personally,” said Mike De Iuliis from De Iuliis Wines. With deep roots in the Hunter wine region, De Iuliis Wines has been producing quality wines for over four generations. PKF’s expertise extends beyond accounting to include business advisory, wealth management, and business analytics. Over the past 10 to 15 years, PKF has utilised data to improve business decisions—not just from a compliance perspective but also to maximise business performance.

“Being locally based with a local understanding was important for us. We wanted to partner with someone who also knew what accounting for a winery involved. We needed someone who understood the intricacies of being both a manufacturer and a retailer,” said Matt Burton from Gundog Wines. “PKF was able to make sense of the true state of my business.”

With PKF offices across Australia, our network has a strong connection to the wine industry nationally, with partnerships spanning the country. For PKF clients, this means access to local knowledge as well as national expertise.

PKF strives to deliver valuable business advice and support that helps clients navigate the complexities of the wine industry and build enduring legacies. Through our continued partnership with the Hunter Valley Wine Show, PKF Sydney and Newcastle remains committed to enhancing the industry and fostering the success of our clients.

All the team at PKF Sydney and Newcastle wish everyone participating in this year’s Hunter Valley Wine Show the very best when showcasing their wines’.
