Count completes two strategic acquisitions

Count has now completed two recently announced strategic transactions, with the investment in Bruce Edmunds & Associates in Victoria, and the merger of Crosby Dalwood and Warnecke & Co in South Australia.  

Count now owns 40% of Bruce Edmunds, a family business with an enviable track record, having served southeast Melbourne communities for more than 57 years.  

In Adelaide, the merger of Crosby Dalwood and Warnecke & Co has created a fresh new business branded Count Adelaide. Count owns 45% of Count Adelaide and is excited by the merged firm’s decision to embrace the Count brand, joining another four Count-branded firms around Australia. The merger date is effective 15 August 2023. 

Count Chief Executive Officer Hugh Humphrey said he is pleased to see the Count brand grow its national footprint.  

"These two strategic transactions are further evidence of the disciplined execution of our growth and transformation strategy." 

"Bruce Edmunds and Count Adelaide are both businesses centred around a passion for their clients. They have a strong cultural fit to our national network of firms that give clients the confidence to look ahead."
