HMM Accountants & Business Consultants

What HMM Accountants & Business Consultants does

HMM Accountants & Business Consultants is a privately-held Chartered Accountancy firm headquartered in Forster, in the Great Lakes region of New South Wales, Australia. The firm traces its origin to a practice first established in Forster in the early 1960s, evolving through several partnership names (Dempsey Baker & Berry, Baker Harrison & Main, Harrison Main & McArthur) before adopting the HMM name and Chartered Accountancy status in July 2013. It is led by two Directors — Andrew McArthur (partner since 1995) and Andrew Parsons (partner since 1995) — supported by a small team of qualified accountants, a bookkeeper, and office administrators.

The firm delivers four core service lines: Financial Accounting (account preparation, financial statements, cashflow budgeting, business structuring), Tax Services (tax planning, GST/PAYG compliance, ABN/TFN/GST registration), Audit Services (Registered Clubs, Land Councils, Trust Accounts of Real Estate agents and Solicitors, Government-funded organisations), and Self Managed Super Fund (SMSF) services (establishment, accounting, administration, and audit). These are supported by Cloud Accounting and Bookkeeping using Xero, MYOB, and Reckon platforms, plus client-facing tools such as online calculators and Tax Matters / Business Matters newsletters. The firm's technology footprint is conventional — third-party cloud accounting software and standard marketing tools — with no proprietary platform, patents, or disclosed AI capabilities.

Commercially, HMM operates as a traditional professional services firm: fees are scoped per engagement, the go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-driven, and the primary client base is locally concentrated in small businesses and individuals in the Great Lakes region. Distribution is through direct office contact, online appointment requests, and email, with community involvement (local sporting clubs, healthcare, community groups) reinforcing local reputation. The firm is independent, with no disclosed parent company, external investors, or M&A activity.
