\nMelbourne, AU, March 4, 2026.\u00a0 Tally Group announced today the acquisition of Skipping Stone, a global energy strategy and implementation consulting firm.<\/p>\n

Skipping Stone will continue operations under its own brand as a wholly owned subsidiary. The companies will combine their strengths to expand the Group\u2019s global go\u2011to\u2011market reach and strategic energy market solutions.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe acquisition of Skipping Stone is a decisive step in Tally\u2019s next phase of global growth,\u201d said Tally Group CEO, Andrew Duncan.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt strengthens our end-to-end capability immediately – combining Skipping Stone\u2019s frontline market insight and advisory expertise with Tally\u2019s market-leading platform so we can help clients move faster from strategy to execution.<\/p>\n

Importantly, it dramatically uplifts our presence in key global markets including the US and Japan. Japan in particular is a key growth market for us due to its scale \u2013 10 times the Australian market \u2013 and accelerating pace of de-regulation.<\/p>\n

Tally went live in Japan last year with a Tier 1 retailer, delivering the market\u2019s first cloud-native, AI-enabled billing platform, and Peter and the team will help us capitalise on this early-mover position.<\/p>\n

This acquisition sharpens our competitive edge and accelerates our ability to scale globally as a leading provider of technology solutions to the utility sector. We are confident and bullish about the future growth opportunities this creates.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Peter Weigand, Skipping Stone Founder and CEO:<\/p>\n

\u201cGlobal energy markets are shifting rapidly, with providers needing to offer far more than traditional commodity services.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThrough our work with clients, it became clear that legacy back\u2011office systems could not support this complexity at scale. After reviewing energy platforms globally, Tally Group stood out for the strength and flexibility of its technology, which made it an easy decision on whom to team up with.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
