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 and sugar cane. He therefore understands the implications of drought and flooding while managing a farm's finances.
LYNN SMITH
Senior Bookkeeper
Lynn has worked for Richardsons Taxation Services for over twelve years. She enjoys the work because it is more challenging than her previous work in accounts payable and factory management. Lynn enjoys talking with the clients due to the variety of industries helped by our office, and enjoys the feeling of sharing a solution with a client who thinks you're marvelous.
Lynn has a long history in Bowen, first working at Pilcher's in town before leaving to raise her family and manage the farm with her husband. Her previous experience helps her understand the needs of our current clients, especially the farmers as their bookkeeping can be particularly niche. Lynn's commitment to the office and our clients makes her a valued member of the team.

Casual Bookkeeper
Tammy joined us in mid-2014. She began working as a casual administrative staff, until she showed her competence in bookkeeping. Tammy was also an excellent accounting student at school, and enjoys bookkeeping because it always works out - there is usually a fix to most problems.
Tammy grew up on a cattle property, and is also a dance teacher, but bookkeeping suits Tammy best as she loves to ask questions and to understand. This is key when working on clients books to ensure it's done properly. She enjoys working at Richardsons Taxation Services due to the supportive environment surrounding her, and that the team is always encouraging.
