Deloitte Australia is a member of Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu, one of the world's leading professional services organisations, with revenue of over US$20 billion and 135,000 people in over 140 countries. We serve some of the world's largest and most prestigious companies in the areas of audit, assurance and advisory, taxation, corporate finance and consulting.

In Australia, the footprint is similar. We serve clients across all sectors, including ASX 200 organisations, MNC subsidiary offices, middle market companies, and federal, state and local government entities. We generate approximately 50% of revenues from the top end of town and 50% from middle market organisations.

In 2006/7 our firm surpassed its growth target, reaching $626 million, or 20% growth on the previous year's revenues of $520million. In just three years, Deloitte has turned the firm around from high growth and low profits, to profit growth at twice the rate of our revenues.

Since 2003 our focus has been on profitability and the integration of 192 new partners. This positioned us for planned growth of 20% in 2006/7, driven by our strong market position in corporate finance, forensic services and consulting as well as continuing strength in tax, risk management and internal audit, and strong growth in our audit and advisory practice driven by regulatory change.

Following a number of recent mergers, Deloitte now has 385 partners, over 4000 people and an expected revenue for FY08 of $740 million.

Deloitte's commitment to actively support women and the success of our ‘Inspiring Women' program was reinforced this year with 28% of new partners being female. In 2007, Deloitte was recognised for the sixth consecutive year as a 2006 Employer of Choice for Women, and was a finalist in the EOWA Awards, recognizing leading organizations for the advancement of women.
