HHM Featured in Business Trend Magazine: Small Business, Big Strides

Since receiving the Chamber’s 2002 Small Business Award in the 51-200 employees category, HHM CPAs has added staff, expanded services and incubated companies under the roof of its historic Freight Depot home on Market Street.The Freight Depot is home to HHM and affiliate companies HHM Wealth Advisors, Southside Creative Group and Freight Depot Accounting.“We’re not a typical accounting firm. You feel the difference when you walk in the front door,” says Managing Partner Donnie Hutcherson.Unusual in its commitment to remaining a local firm, HHM passes on offers to merge with larger national firms.“Mergers and acquisitions are huge in our industry right now,” Hutcherson says. “Although we’ve been given many chances to merge, that’s not our plan.
