PKF International has strengthened its global coverage with the admission of Aspiration Kazakhstan as a member firm in the Republic of Kazakhstan.

Aspiration Kazakhstan, based in Almaty, has three partners and provides a full range of assurance, tax and advisory services to both private and public companies across a range of sectors. The partners have many years of experience at BDO Kazakhstan. This addition expands the PKF network’s presence to cover the Republic of Kazakhstan, a dynamic and fast-growing market in Central Asia.

Aspiration Kazakhstan has rebranded as PKF Kazakhstan with effect from 1 September.

PKF International CEO, James Hickey, said: "We are really pleased to welcome Aspiration Kazakhstan to the PKF International network as we continue to expand and strengthen the PKF brand. Aspiration Kazakhstan fits well with our value proposition of Quality with Integrity, and also meets our strategic objective of global coverage with quality firms".

Ilyas Kultasov, Audit Partner at the firm, commented: “PKF is a respected and widely recognized brand in global accountancy and this key strategic move reflects the growing importance of supporting our clients as they expand internationally. Every company wants to provide excellent service, that is why we relate very strongly to the PKF International network’s values of quality, independence and responsiveness, and its strong focus on people and customers, which drive modern business and create partner, colleague and client loyalty. It is a great fit for us.”

Semyon Berezhnoy, Accounting and Outsource Partner, also commented, saying: “I really like the words of Peter Drucker that “Whenever you see a successful business, someone once made a courageous decision.” And today we can be proud of this decision that ensures our forces will become part of the PKF International network. We’re also delighted that our efforts will be directed alongside PKF International’s productive team to develop and sustain a brand that people trust.”
