A note from Ian:
Good morning,
I have recently made the decision that after, what will have been over 42 years, I will be retiring as a Partner of HQB, on 31 March 2028.
Thereafter, I plan to continue to work in a part-time consulting arrangement, for as long as I can continue to add value to HQB and its clients.
HQB was founded by my father in 1955, and I returned to Coffs to work with the firm in 1985. My retirement will mark the first time in HQB’s history, that there will no longer be a Hogbin family member as an owner of the business. However, in place of that, HQB has an amazing array of talented and highly skilled professionals whose focus is always to provide the best ideas, strategies and service to you, our clients.
Our practice is currently owned equally by five qualified Accountants; James Davis, Brad Sheaves, Catherine Stojcevska, David Gorman and myself. Currently supporting the Partners are 6 Senior Managers, 14 Accountants, and an administration team of 13. There are presently six team members that have worked with me in the organisation for over 10 years.
For those of you whom I currently assist, nothing will change for now. As we move closer to my retirement date, and if you haven’t already met them, you will be introduced to another Partner of the firm, who will be your point of contact following my retirement.
HQB achieved 70 years of service last year, and I am excited at the prospect that HQB will continue to grow and provide you, our clients, with the best advice and service to help you achieve your financial and business goals.
Ian Hogbin
