Halkin Business Partners

What Halkin Business Partners does

Halkin Business Partners (HBP), trading as HALKIN and Halkin APAC, is a privately held Australian business consultancy founded in 2000 in North Sydney. The firm delivers integrated professional services across five disciplines — Outsourced Accounting (CFOs, Financial Controllers, Accountants, Bookkeepers), Tax Advisory and structuring, Strategic Advisory (including growth strategy, valuations, deal structuring, M&A, and due diligence), HR Services (audits, compliance, roadmaps), and Technology and Innovation (business intelligence dashboards, process automation, systems integration, inventory management). Engagements are run through a proprietary three-phase Assess-Enhance-Elevate methodology that is applied cyclically across the client lifecycle, and the firm carries a documented vertical specialization in the fashion and design industry with over 20 years of domain experience.

The business model is professional-services-based and quote-based rather than productized, with revenue derived from customized accounting, tax, HR, technology, and advisory engagements. Halkin markets primarily through content (an Insights blog, SEO, and email newsletter) and direct consultation, with no disclosed pricing tiers. The firm has no external funding or parent company, is governed by a Board of Directors (John, Adiel, Adam), and is operated by an executive team led by Global CEO Katherine Levy (alongside COO Erica, CCO Dylan, CFO Kevin, and CMO Grant). Operationally, Halkin maintains headquarters in North Sydney, an offshore delivery node in Clark Freeport Zone (Philippines), and serves clients across APAC, USA, and UK — with separate subsidiary brands HALKIN US (halkinbp.com) and HALKIN UK (halkinld.co.uk) linked from the corporate site. Technology is positioned as an enabler of service delivery rather than a standalone product, with Xero identified as a partner platform.
