Acclime strengthens Australian presence with rebrand of Bedford.

Sydney, Singapore, 13 October 2025 — Acclime, a leading global provider of corporate and advisory services, is pleased to announce the formal integration and rebranding of Bedford, a leading Sydney-based accounting and advisory firm, as Acclime.

This milestone follows Acclime’s strategic acquisition of Bedford earlier this year, a move that significantly expanded Acclime’s presence in Australia and reinforced its position as one of the country’s largest professional services firms. With the rebrand now complete, Bedford’s legacy of excellence—built over 80 years—continues under the Acclime banner, offering clients seamless access to a broader suite of services and international reach across APAC, the Middle East and the United States.

Bedford enhances Acclime’s deep expertise in accounting services, taxation, strategic planning, corporate and governance services, and business advisory services in Australia, and supports the continuation of a highly personalised approach. With experience across diverse industries and a team of Chartered Accounting professionals, the Bedford team has always been committed to helping clients achieve their ambitions through tailored, results-driven solutions.

“This rebrand marks more than a name change—it’s a reflection of our shared values and vision,” said Izzy Silva, Group CEO of Acclime. “Bedford’s integration strengthens our capabilities in Australia, particularly in accounting services, taxation, family office and business advisory services, and enhances our ability to support clients across borders. We are excited to move into the ranks of Australia’s larger accounting firms.”

“This has been a collaborative effort across teams in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and beyond,” said Randolph van der Burgh, Acclime’s Regional Managing Director Australasia. “We’re proud to welcome Bedford fully into the Acclime family and look forward to building on its legacy with a refreshed brand and expanded capabilities.”

Speaking on behalf of Bedford, Murray Rose, Managing Partner said: “Like Bedford, Acclime is a partner-led business, and the Bedford Principals will be continuing forward with Acclime. This means our existing clients will have continuity of service and advice from the same Principals and Bedford team members as they receive today. We are impressed by Acclime’s like-minded focus on building a strong employee culture and great client service capabilities.”
