Today, SW is recognising Wear It Purple Day, and we believe that creating an inclusive workplace is everyone’s responsibility. The day gives us an opportunity to reflect on the role each of us can play in contributing to a positive workplace culture, while also encouraging us to learn more about LGBTQIA+ inclusion and this year’s theme, Colours of Courage.

Ella Meager, Head of People & Culture at SW, shares:
"Wear It Purple Day provides an opportunity to raise awareness and continue conversations about inclusion, respect, and belonging. At SW, we believe inclusion is created through our everyday interactions, the respect we show one another, and our willingness to listen and learn."

Today, our people are acknowledging the day in simple ways, including wearing a touch of purple and taking time to learn more about the purpose behind Wear It Purple.

Last week, we hosted the Tax Office Crawl event, welcoming over 80 students to our Melbourne office where we shared Australia’s best kept accounting secret and provided insight into what a career in tax could look like. We also played a game where the students competed against our tax professionals in a battle of 'Are You Smarter than a Tax Professional?'

A huge thank you to The Tax Institute and our tax team members Abi Chellapen, Emily Lowe, Jarrod Newell, and Angus Illingworth for sharing insights and giving the students a glimpse into the world of tax.

A team of our Undergraduates recently had the opportunity to volunteer at Beyond Blue's Melbourne Head Office, supporting participants preparing to fundraise through the Sydney Marathon and City2Surf.

Reflecting on the day, the team shared:
"During the day, we contacted people who had signed up to fundraise for Beyond Blue, answered their questions, and helped them set up their fundraising pages ahead of their run. It was a meaningful experience to contribute to Beyond Blue's mission of raising funds for mental health support and making its services more accessible to people across Australia."

"It was inspiring to hear from people who are dedicating their time and energy to raising funds for mental health. Their commitment made us even more appreciative of the work Beyond Blue does every day."

We are so proud of Sanjana Shankar, Natalie Gianello, and Jay Kim for giving back to the community and supporting a cause that has such a positive impact on the lives of so many people in Australia.

We were proud to take part in the Meet the Mid Tiers 2026 event alongside six of Melbourne’s leading accounting firms.

We had the opportunity to showcase Australia’s Best-Kept Accounting Secret, while Trent Godden-Minette, Partner at SW, shared valuable insights and advice with aspiring accountants about building a career in the profession.

A big thank you to Accounting Early Careers Advisory Network (AECAN) and the participating mid-market firms for coming together to inspire the next generation of accounting professionals, whilst highlighting the unique opportunities a career in the mid-market can offer.

It was fantastic to see so many students engaged and excited about what their future in accounting could look like!

This week, we hosted our Keep in Touch lunch at our Sydney office, bringing together our future Graduates and Vacationers ahead of their journey with SW. It was a wonderful way for our incoming team members to connect and learn more about life at SW and our people.

We love creating opportunities for our future Graduates and Vacationers to connect before they officially join SW, and we can’t wait to welcome them to the team!

Last week in Melbourne, we welcomed our future Graduates and Vacationers to SW for our first annual Keep in Touch event! The event began with afternoon tea, which gave everyone an opportunity to connect, meet SW employees, and start building lasting relationships before officially joining SW.

Then, it was time for some friendly competition as we headed to the bowling alley for some fun and a chance to see who would take the win!

It was a great afternoon of connecting and getting excited for what’s ahead at SW. We can’t wait to officially welcome everyone to the team soon and catch up again at our next event!

Celebrating '50 Years of Deadly' (50 years of NAIDOC Week), our Perth and Sydney offices came together to listen, learn, and reflect on the enduring strength, knowledge, cultures, and traditions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

In Perth, attendees gathered near the Derbal Yirrigan (Swan River) for a smoking ceremony and heard Matthew Maguire share the story behind a traditional song about two young boys who were transformed into white seals after ignoring warnings not to enter the river while spirits were active. The story offered a powerful reminder of the importance of listening to Elders and respecting cultural knowledge, while recognising the deep spiritual connection between people, waterways, and Country.

In Sydney, we were honoured to welcome back Brendan Kerin to perform a Welcome to Country and smoking ceremony outside Aurora Place. Brendan shared the cultural significance of the ceremony and its role in cleansing, connection, and reflection before performing a traditional cleansing of the office accompanied by the yidaki (didgeridoo).

These meaningful experiences gave our people an opportunity to deepen their understanding of First Nations cultures, stories, knowledge, and traditions. We are grateful to Matthew and Brendan for sharing their knowledge and creating space for reflection as we continue our reconciliation journey.

A team of Graduates spent a day volunteering at Port Melbourne Vinnies, lending a hand with a range of important behind-the-scenes tasks. From sorting clothing donations, categorising books, cleaning appliances, and organising incoming items, the team worked together to help keep operations running smoothly.

The experience offered valuable insight into the important work Vinnies does to support individuals and families facing hardship in our communities. As a firm, we are proud to support Vinnies through both fundraising initiatives and participation in events such as the Vinnies CEO Sleepout, where we have raised $127k this year to support this important cause. Experiences like these deepen our understanding of the challenges faced by those experiencing or at risk of homelessness, while reinforcing the positive impact organisations like Vinnies make every day.

Reflecting on the day, the team shared:
"It was a fantastic opportunity not only to give back to the local community, but also to connect as a team outside the office."

"A big thank you to the incredible staff at Port Melbourne Vinnies for having us and for the meaningful work you do every day! We had such a great time being part of it."

A special thank you to Jackson Daws, Jacinta Yan, Tayla Pratt, Tim Hoang, Nick Banfield, and Isabella Maticevski for volunteering your time and making a real difference in the community, as well as for the positive impact you helped create through your support at Port Melbourne Vinnies.

We are incredibly thankful for your support this year, which helped raise more than $126k for the Vinnies CEO Sleepout, bringing the total raised by our teams over the past 10 years to more than $630k. This year, our 10 partners — Chris Dexter, Steve Allan, Duane Rogers, Stephen O'Flynn, Vincent Shi, Jeremy Wicht, Michael Goodrick, John Dorazio, Matthew Hingeley, and Bessie Zhang— took part to help raise awareness and critical funding for services that provide emergency accommodation, meals, crisis support, and pathways to long-term stability.

Thank you to everyone who donated, shared our fundraising pages, encouraged our participants, and helped spread awareness. This achievement would not have been possible without your support, and every dollar raised will help provide practical assistance and hope to those who need it most.

“This result reflects the strength of our community and the willingness of so many to make a meaningful contribution. Every dollar raised will go towards providing practical assistance and hope to those who need it most.”
— Duane Rogers, CEO at SW.

While the Sleepout has come to an end, the impact of your generosity will continue well beyond one night. With around 58% of Australians experiencing homelessness under the age of 35, the need for support has never been greater. Through these donations, Vinnies can continue to provide vital frontline services that prevent and address homelessness, including safe and stable accommodation, emergency relief, mental health and wellbeing support, and pathways into education and employment.

14/06/2026

Together, we've raised $44,662 so far for the Vinnies CEO Sleepout! In just a few days, Chris Dexter, Steve Allan, Duane Rogers, Stephen O'Flynn, Vincent Shi, Jeremy Wicht, Michael Goodrick, John Dorazio, Matthew Hingeley, and Bessie Zhang from SW will join thousands of Australians taking part in the Vinnies CEO Sleepout to help raise awareness and critical funds for people experiencing homelessness.

While one night sleeping outdoors cannot replicate the reality faced by those without secure housing, it serves as a powerful reminder of the challenges many Australians encounter every day and the importance of supporting services that provide practical assistance and pathways to stability.

Steve Allan, Partner at SW and first-time CEO Sleepout participant, says:
"The Vinnies CEO Sleepout is an opportunity to turn awareness into action. We are proud to once again support this important initiative and stand alongside our communities in helping address homelessness across Australia. Thank you to everyone who has donated so far, your support will help fund essential services and create meaningful outcomes for those who need them most."

Our team has been overwhelmed by the generosity shown to date, but there's still time to help us reach our fundraising goal of $55k before the Sleepout on Thursday. Every contribution, big or small, helps provide support, hope, and opportunity to Australians experiencing hardship.
