HUGH RICHARDSON
Owner, CPA, Tax Accountant
Hugh loves to help small businesses and farmers understand their finances and pay as little as possible to the tax man! He is an experienced Taxation Accountant who started working in the family business in 1967 and became partner in 1977. In this time, Hugh has seen numerous changes to tax policies, but has never stopped fighting for his clients.
Hugh also owns a small farm in the Bowen area, which he operates with his son, growing small crops. He therefore understands the implications of drought and flooding while managing a farm's finances.
Over the last seventy years, his family has owned or had an interest in the following businesses;
- Retail Appliance Store
- Finance Company
- Goldmine
- Refrigerated Oceangoing Vessel
- Small Crop Farm
