FINN Partners has acquired Honner, a Sydney-based financial and corporate communications agency with 25 employees. The deal establishes FINN's presence in Australia and expands its Asia Pacific footprint to approximately 250 professionals across 37 global offices. Honner will operate as "Honner, A FINN Partners Company". Founder Philippa Honner joins FINN as managing partner and APAC financial services practice leader. The acquisition targets Australia's growing investment sector, particularly its AU$4.5 trillion superannuation market — one of the world's largest retirement savings pools, projected to reach AU$8.3 trillion in the early 2030s. FINN APAC now generates approximately $19 million in fees, representing nearly 10% of the firm's global revenue. The deal follows FINN's recent acquisition of RICE Communications and builds on its established Australian client base including the Art Gallery of New South Wales and Destination New South Wales.

FINN Partners and WifOR Institute have launched "From Cost to Catalyst", a global initiative designed to help governments and industry quantify health spending as an economic investment rather than a budgetary burden. The partnership was unveiled at the World Health Assembly in Geneva. The initiative combines WifOR Institute's health economics expertise with FINN Partners' communications capabilities to provide economic impact modelling, policy platforms and stakeholder engagement strategies. Services include quantifying health's contribution to workforce participation and translating evidence into policy influence. The partnership addresses a growing policy gap across Europe and beyond, where evidence supporting health investment exists but remains disconnected from budget decision-makers. The timing coincides with increased momentum in countries like France to integrate health into fiscal planning and ongoing EU health technology assessment reforms.
