The Tax Institute has found a stronger ally in Aon Australia, which is boosting its focus on finance professionals in the country via a three-year strategic partnership that widens the company’s existing relationship with the association.

According to Aon Australia affinity managing director Lisa Henderson, the tie-up is aimed at providing what she described as a long-lasting, collaborative risk and insurance value offering to members of The Tax Institute. The latter represents more than 12,000 tax professionals in Australia. 

Meanwhile Giles Hurst, chief executive of the association, called the synergies between the two camps “enormous,” which he believes will result in an organic and trusted partnership.

“The Tax Institute and Aon Australia are committed to supporting tax and finance professionals in helping them to find their competitive edge so they can provide clients with the expertise they need to make informed decisions to mitigate risk,” stated Hurst.

“Together we will be able to offer our valued members broader and deeper risk and insurance content.”

Aon Australia specialises in developing and administering customised insurance programmes and specialty market solutions for affinity organisations and their members or affiliates. As a major partner of The Tax Institute, it will be working closely with the association’s roster.

“Our common industry and risk characteristics means our partnership is strategically aligned and ensures the risk and insurance solutions we offer resonates with The Tax Institute’s members,” said Henderson.

“We are delighted to support The Tax Institute’s members and we are committed to further growing our suite of programmes and strengthening our capabilities across this increasingly crucial industry in Australia.”
