Story

Hobe & Lucas offers a broad range of accounting services and additional consulting services to provide clients like you with exceptional value to achieve your goals and help you succeed. From tax planning and compliance to business advisory services and financial expertise to technology consulting and more, we are a true full-service accounting firm.

When it comes to financial auditing services, Hobe & Lucas believes less is more—providing you with less of what you don’t want and more of what you want and need. We begin by really listening to your goals and then basing our services on the level of assurance required. From an audit, the highest level of assurance, to reviews, compilations and interim statements, we have the expertise to deliver skilled, attentive financial auditing services and accounting to all of our clients.

Tremendous time and effort go into building and maintaining your business. When you’re juggling multiple projects, we realize that creating a comprehensive snapshot of your business health can be low on your priority list. But, knowing where you stand at all times provides a distinct advantage that helps you act quickly when opportunities arise. With your finger on the pulse of your cash flow and needs, you can better adapt and pursue new options. After all, you can’t make good decisions in the dark.

Tax rules and regulations constantly change. Staying current with the changes can be a daunting task, but a vital one. Through our tax accounting services, Hobe & Lucas tax professionals actually enjoy tax planning and compliance. They are passionate about keeping up with the latest tax laws and understanding their impact on our clients.

Do you need international accounting services or an international business advisor? Hobe & Lucas can help. As a member of BKR International, we are affiliated with more than 135 independent accounting and business advisory firms in 300 offices in more than 70 countries. Our affiliation with BKR International means we have the resources to meet your needs not only nationally, but globally as well.

A privately held business often represents a lifetime of work. Business valuation services are essential in succession planning, or if a strategic opportunity for sale or merger arises, to ensure that lifetime of work is properly valued and the correct decisions can be made.

Hobe & Lucas accountants have many years of experience as both business advisers and owners, making us an ideal fit when you need a controller for hire or CFO outsourcing. Whether you’re a start-up, a well-established business or a non-profit entity, you can rely on our extensive experience for the guidance and support you need to allow you to focus on growing your business or fulfilling your mission.

At Hobe & Lucas, we understand how complicated it can be to navigate employee benefit accounting and the tax aspects of employer-provided plans. We offer a number of services to make it easy for you.

Payroll is a detailed, time-consuming task that can take away your focus from other areas of your business. We offer a number of payroll service solutions to ensure greater accuracy with up-to-date tax rates and regulatory information. Plus, we have a payroll processing service to reduce the complexity and risk of running your own payroll.

Because technology changes so rapidly, it’s important to have resources available with high-level accounting and tax knowledge that can help you efficiently and effectively incorporate your accounting needs into your IT infrastructure.

Mission

Listen. Understand. Achieve.
The founding shareholders of Hobe & Lucas, Certified Public Accountants, Inc. realized many years ago that the best way to provide great value to clients and to develop motivated staff was to instill three simple concepts into the firm’s culture: Listen. Understand. Achieve.

Listen
It starts with listening. How can we truly help to achieve goals if we do not take the time to listen to what those goals are?

Understand
It continues with understanding and communication. How can we determine how to leverage our knowledge and expertise toward the achievement of goals without first being able to understand and communicate what is needed to reach those goals?

Achieve
It renews with achievement. Now that we have partnered to achieve an identified goal, the process does not end; it continues to develop and renew.

We value the longevity and quality of our relationships with our clients and staff. We know that these relationships result from our willingness to go that extra mile. We want to be your working partner — listening, teaching and empowering you to achieve your goals. We’re listening…
