BDO Auckland and PKF Ross Melville are to merge under the BDO brand, creating a firm of 250 staff and 26 partners.
The merger will bring BDO's total staff number in New Zealand to over 800 people, including 86 partners.
BDO Auckland managing partner Simon Peacock said the firm had recognised that growth was critical to responding quickly and effectively to changing domestic and international regulatory requirements, and that the merger would have a "transforming" effect on BDO in New Zealand.
The move follows a string of BDO firms merging with PKF firms, including in the UK and parts of China and Australia operations.
