• About us
• Our people
• Culture & community
• Policies & compliance

Welcome to SW, a hidden gem in the world of accounting,
where relationships meet technical know-how around every corner.

Our major brand awareness campaign, launched in October 2023, is designed to help you understand more about our purpose, our culture and what we offer to both our clients and our people. Over the years, we have had both clients and staff describe us as a ‘best kept secret’. We see this as a testament to the long-standing relationships we have built with many of our clients, that has extended over decades and even generations, and highlights the trust they place in us.

Businesses evolve all the time, and at SW Accountants & Advisors we are no different. We have been operating in Australia since 1935 and during that time, the original partner group has changed names and even international networks, all in an effort to provide greater value to our clients, and opportunities for our team members. In 2021 we globally rebranded from ShineWing to SW – yet another nod to support the global aspirations of the network.

As an Australian-owned and operated business, we have grown to 400 people, located across Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth. With 45 partners, we are a fully-integrated firm that was ranked #22 in the 2025 AFR Top 100 Firms; of all accounting ‘national’ practices that are financially integrated we are ranked 9th.

Worldwide in the SW International network, we have over 600 partners in 103 offices operating across 23 countries and regions.

Nestled in the heart of four Australian CBDs, SW is an accounting and advisory firm with 400+ people
servicing large well known brands in Australia and overseas. A national firm with no borders.

 

Why are you a secret?!

You might be wondering why you haven’t heard of us before. The answer is simple: we’ve been quietly and diligently working behind the scenes, focusing on growth and expansion into new markets and locations while continuing to serve our established clients with dedication. While we have deep roots in Melbourne, our partners recognised the need to support clients venturing into Asia and those coming to Australia.

To better align with our global mission, we’ve undergone a transformation and are now known as SW. Perhaps you’ve known us by our previous names, Moore Stephens or ShineWing. We felt now was the right time to tell our story.

Discover the difference of partnering with SW, where you’re not just another client but a valued member of our family.
