Quality + value = certainty

Hayes Knight make audit and assurance worth the effort.

Audit & assurance services that deliver confidence

Quality matters to protect against unnecessary regulatory scrutiny and risk.

Hayes Knight deliver high-quality financial statement and compliance audits that give you clarity and certainty - see how we help. 

Our experienced team has the depth, capacity and systems to complete your audit on time and to industry‑leading standards. And, we do this in a competitive and cost-effective way.

We go beyond narrow validation to provide useable insights that add value for business operators, management, shareholders, investors and the regulators.

If your audit is only fulfilling an obligation on paper, you’re losing value – we help capture that value.

Why clients choose Hayes Knight 
01.
The 'A team' - always

Our team brings deep technical expertise across a broad range of industries and entity types - and you'll have direct access to our senior people at every stage. That's not a promise we make lightly. It's simply how we work.

02.
Competitive without compromise

We deliver genuine value - rigorous, high-quality audit and assurance work at a fee structure that respects your budget. You shouldn't have to choose between quality and cost.

03.
A relationship, not a transaction

We take the time to understand your business, your stakeholders, and what you actually need from an audit. That means fewer surprises, faster turnaround, and advice that's genuinely useful.

Who we work with

Clients come to Hayes Knight because we bring relevant, practical knowledge to every engagement - not a generic approach dressed up as expertise.

We work where precision, discretion, and genuine sector knowledge matter. Key areas include:

 

Private & family enterprise

We understand the unique dynamics of privately held businesses and deliver audit services that add real value beyond compliance including insights into efficiencies of your company’s internal controls, processes and corporate governance practices.

 

Australian Financial Services Licence

AFSL compliance is non-negotiable, and the consequences of getting it wrong (or doing it badly) are significant. We work with licensees to meet their obligations efficiently and accurately, so you can stay focused on your business.

 

Grants & incentives

From film audits to government grant acquittals, we have the specific experience to support your compliance requirements quickly and accurately.

 

Foreign controlled companies

Operating in Australia with overseas ownership brings its own reporting obligations and complexity. Our team understands the Australian regulatory environment and works seamlessly with your international stakeholders to meet local and global requirements without friction.

 

Fund audits – Managed Investment Scheme

From registered MIS to unregistered wholesale funds, our team has the specialist knowledge to navigate the specific audit requirements of the funds management sector with confidence and care.

 

Registered Clubs

Registered clubs operate in a unique regulatory environment, balancing Board accountability, community obligations, and increasingly complex accounting requirements. Our team understands the specific audit obligations facing licensed clubs, delivering practical and cost-effective assurance that keeps your board informed and your members confident.

 

Not-for-profits and registered organisations

Every dollar matters when you're accountable to a mission, donors, and regulators. We combine technical expertise with a genuine appreciation for the sector, helping your organisation maintain the trust it has worked hard to earn.

 

Fast-growth companies & scale-ups

Whether you're preparing for investment, planning an exit, or navigating rapid expansion, our team understands the needs of businesses at the sharp end of growth. We help you present with credibility and confidence to investors and stakeholders.
