Local Accounting Firm | HQB Accountants Auditors Advisors

I have worked with James and David as well as Brianna from HQB for the last 18 months and can highly recommend their services. They provided us with all of the financial and auditing expertise we required , including successfully assisting us on a variety of specialist / niche questions. Our year end audits and grant acquittals were run very efficiently, on time and within budget.

A huge thank you to James and HQB for so willingly and efficiently completing the audit for CWA Bellingen Branch finances. We appreciate your work and generosity very much. It's so encouraging to have businesses such as yours contributing to the work of community organisations such as CWA. Thank you!

We had been with our previous accountant for over twenty-five years, leaving them was a hard decision. However, the transition to HQB was done professionally and with ease by Brad Sheaves and his team. We have not regretted the move at all. We receive regular contact from HQB and this contact is not just a broadcasted newsletter e-mail, but telephone calls and correspondence from Brad. His advice is concise, relevant to our situation and very appreciated. Highly recommend Brad Sheaves and the HQB team.

I was referred to James & the HQB team around 2016. James has been fantastic - always available when advice is sought, explains options clearly and moves quickly when I request documents in most unreasonable timeframes. It's also comforting dealing with someone who has local knowledge is very much part of the community. I have no hesitation recommending him and the team!

I have been with HQB since ACSM was merged...so long ago i cannot remember. Their service has always been good and this has been elevated to excellent since James Davis took over my account. He is super sharp, good at listening and prompt in response to enquiries. I recommend HQB.

I met James Davis from HQB about 6 - 7 years ago when we were looking for an accountant that would suit our needs better and provide the advice that would steer us into the future.At the time I sat in front of James and fired so many questions, scenarios, future plans etc and James did not bat an eyelid. There was no let me get back to you on that one, or good questions I will check the current legislation, it was a variety of questions that led to us setting up a structure that has allowed us to grow with absolute confidence we are structured appropriately.This relationship has grown from strength to strength and i would have no hesitate to refer anyone to HQB as I am confident they will have the exact same experience and get the advice they need when they need it.Thanks for the amazing service guys and quality advice.

HQB accountants are the best. They have pointed things out to me that my previous accountant didn't. They got me set up and straightened out all my accounts to ensure I was complying with with regulators. I now know my accounts are in good order. Would recommend to those who like to sleep at night knowing someone has got your back!

As a business owner, I love using HQB for my accounting maters. It makes life much easier. They are professional and supportive, allowing me to focus on the business.

HQB are the best accountants I have worked with in more than thirty years of business. We transitioned from a small one person accountant to a large accountancy firm, where we got lost amongst the bigger businesses with deeper pockets and louder voices, and charged like there was no tomorrow. HQB is the perfect middle ground where we get excellent and up-t0-date advice but treated and cared for as an SME with growth potential. The personal service is amazing. The advice we get even better. VERY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Have been working with James from HQB for the last couple of years - and only have good things to say. Very responsive, offers support where needed and hangs back in other areas that we can manage ourselves. Best accountant we have worked with - makes it a breeze, which is what you want when working on the paperwork.

I'm really enjoying the personalised touch and service I'm receiving from Ian and Siarn. Always prompt, professional and happy to answer my silly questions and help me stay informed. I've been a client of Bill's and HQB for about 20 years. Since Bills retirement he passed me on to Ian and the quality of the service just seems to keep getting better. HQB comes highly recommended by me.

HQB accountants have been an asset to our business. They have made Job Keeper a breeze and kept our business strong. They respond to emails quickly. They have been terrific value for us as they have brought knowledge and expertise that I don't have even if I had the time to do my accounting. They have taken the time to understand my business and structure our finances accordingly.

Amazing service from James (& Brianna), going well above his responsibilities to his clients. Cannot recommend James highly enough. HQB a highly professional and responsive accounting firm. Incredibly quick at responding, yes, often after hours, which is more than we would ever expect from any professional. I am continually recommending James to friends and family. Many thanks James. Kind regards, Lyn (& Jeff) Green

James became our Accountant last year and he has handled all our entities swiftly and pro actively. We are incredibly impressed with him and HQB and feel very comfortable in their hands to manage our Business. James is always prompt in replying and sometimes out of hours and his handling of our recent predicament with COVID 19 has helped us manage our Business successfully through this trying time. Thank you James and the team at HQB. We will always recommend you highly,.
