A team that delivers on our purpose to
improve the lives of successful people.
Our story
HK Partners was founded on the long-term relationship and shared vision of Scott Kelly and Jeremy Hoffmann.
Colleagues for over 15 years, Scott and Jeremy saw a clear need for a new type of accounting, tax and advisory practice. One that brought together the traditional values, sound advice and trusted relationships of the established family office practices with a contemporary progressive approach.
A focus on advice excellence, continuous improvement and capitalising on useful technology keeps us moving ahead. While relationships built on genuine interest, empathy and care develop valuable and lasting partnerships.
This is the foundation of our team culture and drives our purpose of improving life for successful people.
The meaningful interpersonal relationships we enjoy with HK Partners allow for less formal communication where we explore ideas, problems and opportunities. They are an essential part of our decision-making.
