Robert Hughes

Partner, Brisbane

Robert is an expert in advisory for the pharmacy sector. He is passionate about guiding pharmacists through the process of purchasing their pharmacy, being a successful pharmacy owner and achieving their short and long-term goals.

Throughout his career, which spans over 15 years, Robert has developed expertise in working with community pharmacists to help them grow and provides specialised advice on industry trends and regulatory updates.

Known for his proactive approach and deep understanding of the pharmacy sector, Robert’s clients value his skills in assessing the performance of their business and his ability to work and support them to continually improve. In addition to general tax and accounting compliance services, he works with pharmacy businesses to provide valuations, due diligence reporting, management accounting and performance reporting, structuring advice, transaction advisory, and budgeting and cash flow forecasts.

Building true advisory relationships with his clients, Robert is in regular contact year-round, not just at tax time. This consistent approach means that his clients get much more than peace of mind for their annual compliance. Robert is a source of information and a sounding board to discuss and work through existing and developing issues in the industry.

Robert joined Pitcher Partners in 2016 and became a partner in 2023.
