KNIGHT Group

What KNIGHT Group does

Knight Group Pty Ltd (ACN 009 060 584) is a privately held, wholly WA-owned financial advisory and accounting firm founded in 1971 in Fremantle and now headquartered at Level 2, Spectrum, 100 Railway Road, Subiaco, Western Australia. The group operates through three core operating subsidiaries: NKH Pty Ltd (accounting, tax, bookkeeping, payroll, business advisory), Knight Financial Advisors Pty Ltd (financial planning, investments, insurance — operating as Corporate Authorised Representative No. 285301 under AFSL 438631), and Simplex Superannuation Services Pty Ltd (SMSF administration and advisory). Two intermediate entities (NKH Knight Holdings Pty Ltd and NKH Resources Pty Ltd) complete the corporate structure.

Knight delivers an integrated suite of professional services — accounting, financial advice, business advisory, investments, superannuation/SMSF administration, insurance, bookkeeping, strategic planning, and business health checks — primarily to Perth-based SMEs, individuals and families, HNW clients, and SMSF trustees. Its technology backbone is Xero (Gold Partner status) for cloud bookkeeping and STP-compliant payroll, supplemented by a secure client portal for document exchange and billing. Service delivery is relationship-led, supported by a multi-channel GTM stack spanning referrals, Curtin Radio (The Money Podcast), prior 6PR/96FM media partnerships, blog/content SEO, and active social channels (Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram).

Knight is a fee-for-service and retainer-based professional services business; pricing is determined post-consultation rather than via published schedules, with monthly billing cadence. In July 2024, the accounting unit joined the Bentleys Network (an Allinial Global affiliate ranked 12th in the AFR Top 100), giving the firm access to ~750 staff across Australia and New Zealand while Knight retained 100% WA ownership by working shareholders. The firm holds CA ANZ membership, TPB tax-agent registration, and the AFR Top 100/top-50 recognition, as well as a Financial Standard Top 50 adviser (Jason Featherby) credential.
