DFK International has posted record results for the year to September 2009 with combined fee income for the Association of US$1.05bn.

Member firm fee income has risen consistently year on year throughout the last decade and DFK is now clearly established as one of the top 10 international accounting Associations. 

Mike Tovey (the current President of DFK International and Managing Partner of our London member,  Chantrey Vellacott DFK) commented he is delighted with the growth of the association and that these results highlight the real strength of DFK International and its member firms.

Whilst reporting record results, DFK International also announces the appointment of its new Executive Director, Martin Sharp.  Martin has had a distinguished international career in the UK Royal Air Force.  He commented that “Against the background of continued worldwide recession, DFK has reported great results.  I have been very impressed by the partners I have met and their commitment to meeting the needs of clients with international operations - so I am not surprised by these results.  I relish the challenge of contributing to the further growth of such a dynamic international Association".
