Cutcher & Neale expands into Melbourne with addition of BBB Partners

Cutcher & Neale, a 250-person accounting and advisory firm, has acquired BBB Partners, a Melboune-based counterpart with around 50 staff.

Announced yesterday, the deal marks Cutcher & Neale’s expansion into Melbourne, which will be the firm’s fourth location, alongside offices in Newcastle, Sydney and Brisbane.

Founded in 1953, Cutcher & Neale is an accounting and advisory firm that serves businesses and individuals. The company offers a full range of services including business advisory, taxation, audit, retirement, and financial planning.

BBB Partners meanwhile is known for its accounting, financial planning, succession planning, and wealth management services. The firm is particularly active in the medical and healthcare sector.

With the addition of BBB Partners, Cutcher & Neale is on track to enter the list of Australia’s 30 largest accounting firms. As part of the deal, the firm’s annual revenue is expected to increase to $46 million in 2025.

Jarrod Bramble, Managing Partner at Cutcher & Neale, said, “This partnership brings together two firms with a common vision, helping clients succeed through clarity, trust and strategic guidance, while also allowing us to implement our world-class technology support to an ambitious new book of clients.”

The integration will see Matt Hickey, Partner at BBB Partners, play a key role in driving the further growth strategy of Cutcher & Neale in the Melbourne region. “There’s a huge opportunity here to support professionals, especially in medical accounting, with the kind of personalised and sector-specific advice we’ve delivered for years.”

Established in 1953, Cutcher & Neale currently works with more than 19,000 clients across Australia.
