Our approach

More than 40 years ago, a group of chartered accounting firms came together to form what is today known as HLB Mann Judd. For more than three decades HLB has remained committed to its core values and these principals have guided and shaped our success.

Our culture is one that places importance on various perspectives. It presents opportunities for our people to learn, grow and advance in their careers. We want everyone to be successful and thrive in an inclusive and collaborative culture. We genuinely care about the well-being of our people.

What we believe

At HLB, it’s our purpose to make a positive and sustainable impact on the future of our clients, our people and our communities, because we care about their well-being and success. Driven by our shared values and behaviours, we collaborate across the globe and find innovative ways to fulfil this purpose. Together we make it happen.

How we work together

We believe our strength comes from team members sharing their differences, individual experiences and willingness to voice opinions or share new ideas. By doing so we can provide innovative and practical solutions for our clients.

At HLB you will be joining an award-winning national mid-tier firm. This means we bring leadership experience, technical skills, client service excellence and a diverse range of clients. We offer comprehensive training and other opportunities for growth and development.

Our culture

Although we want to provide the best possible outcome for our clients, we also know it’s important to have a laugh and try not to take ourselves too seriously.

We genuinely understand and respect that our people have a life outside of the workplace. Everyone’s career is different and we promise to be flexible to your situation so that you pursue your passions and priorities outside of the workplace.

People are at the heart of everything we do

Although each of the firms in the HLB network may take a slightly different approach to diversity and inclusion, the highest priority is attracting staff from a wide range of backgrounds and experiences that complement the firm.

In addition, we support numerous organisations throughout Australia and beyond through internal fundraisers and participation in charitable events. Additionally, we provide services to selected charities on a pro bono or concessional fee basis. Our senior leaders actively participate on a diverse range of boards and community associations.
