Melbourne-based CountPlus member O’Brien Accountants & Advisors has acquired the accounting services of another firm.
O’Brien has completed a tuck-in acquisition to gain the accounting services of Hillard O’Donnell and Associates, for a consideration of $570,000.
As part of the transaction, Hillard O’Donnell principal Damian O’Donnell will gain an equity interest in O’Brien under the CountPlus owner-driver, partner model.
