Staedtler Pacific

Staedtler Pacific is the Australian subsidiary of one of the world’s leading suppliers of quality writing and drawing instruments, who first began handcrafting pencils in Germany in 1662. Allan Hall was able to successfully take over the accounting and audit functions from a ‘big four’ firm to provide a more appropriate service for a fraction of the cost.

In the words of the Finance Director, Paul Cashmore, “We found that dealing with a local company that’s smaller than the ‘big four’, but is every bit as professional, provided us with many benefits. I have one point of contact and receive personal, friendly service every time from a firm that shows genuine interest in us as a client.”

In addition to accounting and audit services, Brad Speering from Allan Hall Financial Planning was able to assist a number of former employees facing redundancy as a result of a restructuring of manufacturing activities in 2009, via site visits to enable the staff involved to speak with a financial planner regarding any issues or questions they had. In addition, Brad has also taken on the role of advisor to Staedtler on behalf of MLC Corporate Superannuation to assist any employees in regard to superannuation matters that may arise.
