Bush & Campbell expands with acquisition of Walker BDS

Bush & Campbell Accountants is pleased to announce the acquisition of Walker BDS, a well-established professional services firm based in Tumut. This strategic acquisition represents an important milestone in the continued growth of our practice and reinforces our commitment to providing high-quality, locally focused advisory services across the region. Both firms have maintained a strong professional relationship in the past and are excited about the future opportunities.
 
Walker BDS, founded by Steve Walker, has built a strong reputation in the Tumut community through its long-standing dedication to client service and practical business advice. The firm offers a comprehensive range of services including taxation, bookkeeping, BAS and compliance, business advisory and financial support services, working closely with individuals, families and businesses to support sustainable growth and compliance.
 
Following the acquisition, the Tumut division of the business will operate as Walker B&C, reflecting the combined strengths of Walker BDS and Bush & Campbell. Importantly, the entire Walker BDS team, including Steve, will remain with the business, ensuring continuity of relationships, local knowledge, and service delivery for existing clients.
 
The integration of Walker BDS creates strong synergies for both firms. For Bush & Campbell clients, the acquisition expands our geographic reach into the Tumut region while enhancing our collective expertise across compliance, advisory and business support services. For Walker B&C clients, the broader Bush & Campbell team brings additional depth, resources and specialist capability, supporting more complex and evolving client needs.
 
Clients can expect the same trusted service, now strengthened by expanded capabilities, a broader team and an increased regional presence — all underpinned by our shared commitment to professional excellence.
