Brian Tonna & Co., an independent firm of certified public accountants, has opened its second office at the Tower Business Centre in Swatar that will house the company's Audit and International Tax departments. Jason Azzopardi, Parliamentary Secretary in the Ministry of Finance, Economy and Investment, officially inaugurated the new premises this week.

The firm was set up in 1992 by Brian Tonna and over the years it grew sufficiently for two other partners, Manuel Castagna and Karl Cini, to join from within its ranks. A team of professional and highly technical staff also supports the firm that provides accounting, auditing, consultancy and fiduciary services to local and foreign clients.

In 2007 Brian Tonna & Co. became a member of Nexia International, a worldwide network of independent accounting and consulting firms with over 500 offices in more than 100 countries. Nexia International organises three tax conferences every year: two in Europe and a world conference.

In February Brian Tonna & Co. will be hosting the European tax conference of Nexia International in Malta. Around 65 tax professionals and partners from all over Europe are expected to attend. The seminar will serve as a good opportunity for Malta to promote its strong financial services potential. It will also give European guests a taste of our cultural heritage.

The success story of Brian Tonna & Co. lies in the recognition of the individual strength of the firm's employees and the investment in their training, as well as a healthy and harmonized working environment.
