The DVT Mcleods team recently joined members of Western Sydney’s vibrant business community at the Parramatta Chamber of Commerce’s Business After Five (BAF) on 4 August 2026, held at the PARKROYAL Parramatta, to acknowledge and celebrate the finalists in the 2026 Western Sydney Awards for Business Excellence (WSABE).
The WSABE, now in its 36th year, was founded by the Parramatta Chamber of Commerce. The awards have become an important platform for recognising the organisations and professionals helping shape the future of Greater Western Sydney.
Across its award categories, WSABE celebrates achievement in areas including leadership, innovation, workplace culture, customer service, and business growth. The program also gives finalists the opportunity to share their stories, increase their visibility, and connect with respected business leaders from across the region. (WSABE)
The occasion provided an opportunity to recognise businesses, professionals, and organisations whose dedication, innovation and leadership continue to strengthen the Greater Western Sydney economy. For DVT Mcleods, the event was particularly meaningful, with the firm officially named a finalist in the Business Western Sydney Excellence in Large Business category. The finalist certificate confirms DVT Mcleods’ recognition by the 2026 WSABE Committee.
Being selected as a finalist is a proud achievement for the entire DVT Mcleods team. It reflects the collective contribution of the firm’s people and their continued commitment to delivering practical, commercially focused advice to clients navigating complex financial and business matters.
The BAF finalist recognition event brought together representatives from a diverse range of industries. It was an evening dedicated not only to individual business success, but also to the collaboration, resilience and entrepreneurial spirit that underpin Western Sydney’s ongoing development.
For DVT Mcleods, attending the event was an opportunity to celebrate alongside fellow finalists and acknowledge the high standard of work being undertaken throughout the region. It also reinforced the importance of strong professional networks and meaningful relationships within the local business community.
DVT Mcleods’ finalist recognition highlights the professionalism, knowledge and collaborative approach demonstrated across the firm. The team supports businesses, advisers, and stakeholders through services including business valuations, due diligence, forensic accounting, investigating accountant reports, litigation support, and AML consulting.
While the finalist announcement is an achievement worth celebrating, it also represents an opportunity to reflect on the trust clients and professional partners place in DVT Mcleods. That trust motivates the team to continue providing clear, practical, and considered advice while maintaining high standards of professional integrity.
The next milestone in the 2026 awards program will be the WSABE Golden Stars Gala on Friday, 4 September 2026, when the winners will be announced. The gala will be held at CommBank Stadium and will bring together Greater Western Sydney’s business community for an evening of recognition, networking, dining, and entertainment. (WSABE)
As the gala approaches, DVT Mcleods is proud to stand alongside the other accomplished finalists whose work contributes to the region’s economic success and community impact.
The firm extends its congratulations to every finalist recognised in the 2026 Western Sydney Awards for Business Excellence and thanks the Parramatta Chamber of Commerce, the WSABE Committee, sponsors, and event partners for continuing to celebrate business achievement across the region.
Whatever the result, being recognised as a 2026 WSABE finalist is an honour for DVT Mcleods and a meaningful acknowledgment of the expertise, commitment and teamwork demonstrated by its people.
