In his new role, Tim will play a central part in shaping the firm’s strategic direction, with a focus on expanding the firm’s service offering, enhancing its digital and marketing presence, and embedding the use of emerging technologies across client engagement.

“This is an exciting step forward – both for me personally and for the firm. I’m passionate about challenging traditional thinking and embracing innovation to create stronger, more valuable outcomes for our clients and our people,” said Tim Wulf, Principal at Murdoch Partners.

Murdoch Partners has a strong track record in providing trusted accounting and advisory services, particularly in the medical and allied health sectors. Tim’s appointment supports the firm’s goal to broaden its market position while strengthening internal culture and capability.

“Tim’s appointment is validation of the service he provides to clients and his commitment to the firm’s values. He will be integral to leading Murdoch Partners into the future by understanding emerging markets and digital trends, while continuing to honour the values we’re built on,” said Martin Sammut, Principal and Managing Director at Murdoch Partners.
