Diwali has long been the time to open new account books and make big family decisions. We welcome SMH Group, accountants, lawyers and conveyancers under one roof, as a Gold Partner.
We are pleased to welcome SMH Group as a Gold Partner of Melbourne Diwali 2026.
SMH Group brings together three local firms under one roof at 82 Mt Alexander Road, Travancore: SMH Accountants & Advisors, SMH Legal Advisors and SMH Legal Conveyancing.
Diwali is a festival of new beginnings.
For generations, traders have opened new account books at Diwali. Families choose this time to buy something important, or to move into a new home. The lamps are lit, the house is clean, and the year starts fresh.
Fresh starts come with paperwork. Tax returns. Property contracts. Business plans. That is the space SMH Group works in.
Think about the big moments in a family's year. Starting a business. Buying a first home. Selling a property. Signing a contract.
Most of these moments have a tax side, a property side and a legal side. At SMH Group, the accountants, the lawyers and the conveyancers work from the same address.
That is why SMH Group is a natural fit for our festival.
SMH Accountants & Advisors helps individuals, families and small to medium businesses with their tax today and their plans for tomorrow. Services include:
For a small business owner, good accounting means understanding what the numbers are telling you. Is the business really making money? Why is cash tight? How much should you put aside for the ATO? Is your structure right for growth?
The team helps clients keep accurate books, stay on top of their finances and plan ahead all year round.
The practice is led by Saumya Gupta, Principal Accountant and Registered Tax Agent. Saumya holds a Master of Finance and Accounting from the University of Melbourne and is a member of the IPA and CPA Australia.
SMH Legal Advisors, led by Mahima Solanki, Principal Solicitor, helps clients understand their legal obligations, protect their interests and make important decisions with confidence. The practice covers commercial law, property, family law and dispute resolution.
For local businesses, that includes business transactions, commercial and retail leases, shareholder agreements, contract disputes and debt recovery. Getting advice before you sign makes everyone's responsibilities clear and avoids problems later.
For families and individuals, the team offers caring support through divorce, separation, parenting arrangements and property settlements.
When disputes arise, the practice works towards practical outcomes, through negotiation or, where needed, in court.
Buying or selling a property is one of life's big milestones. Clear explanations and careful attention make all the difference.
SMH Legal Conveyancing, led by Hemant Solanki, Principal Licensed Conveyancer, handles residential and commercial conveyancing across Victoria. The team guides buyers and sellers through contract reviews, paperwork and settlement, and helps eligible buyers with first home owner grants and stamp duty refunds.
Whether you are buying your first home, selling, or buying commercial space, you get clear guidance and regular updates at every step.
SMH Group is based at 82 Mt Alexander Road, Travancore, with an accounting office in Truganina.
Many of us run a small business. A shop. A food stall. A trade. A side business from home.
Running it well is about more than the busy days. It is about staying ahead: knowing your numbers, planning for tax before tax time, and getting the paperwork right before it becomes a problem.
If you run a micro or small business, come and meet the SMH Group team on festival day for a chat about managing your business all year round. We will share where and when closer to the date.
Saturday 31 October, 2pm to 10pm, at Marvel Stadium Square, Docklands. Entry is free. Bring your family and friends.
Welcome to Melbourne Diwali, SMH Group. Shubh Deepavali!
