Lowe Lippmann

What Lowe Lippmann does

Lowe Lippmann is a privately held Melbourne-based chartered accounting and advisory firm operating continuously since 1948 under the legal entity Lowe Lippmann Pty Ltd. The firm serves a primarily small-to-medium family business client base in Victoria, Australia, with additional work for high-net-worth individuals, professionals, SMSF trustees, and property owners and managers. Its core service lines span Strategic Advisory, Audit and Assurance, Tax and Compliance, Insolvency and Restructuring, Corporate Secretarial, International Services, and a Property Audit and Assurance specialty division, delivered by a partner-led team of 11 named leaders and broader staff in the 101-250 headcount range.

Revenue is generated through professional services fees based on service complexity, scope, and time, with pricing not publicly disclosed. A related entity, Lowe Lippmann Financial Services (LLTFS), extends the offering into financial planning. The firm operates a single headquarters at 616 St Kilda Road, Melbourne, with distribution through direct client engagement supplemented by a secure client portal. Go-to-market is relationship-led, supported by content marketing (tax alerts, practice updates, seminars), LinkedIn presence among partners, and top-tier partner status with Australia's dominant accounting software platforms (Xero Champion Platinum, MYOB Diamond, QuickBooks Online Elite, Reckon Professional).

International capability is delivered via membership in The International Accounting Group (TIAG), a network of 115+ independent accounting firms across 65 countries, rather than through owned international offices. The firm has remained independent since founding, with no disclosed private equity, venture capital, or parent company ownership, and no M&A or funding activity in the input data.
