Saying you were listed amongst the Top 100 CPA firms in the country wouldn’t mean much if there were only 125. There are well over 30,000 firms in the U.S. and HbK is proud to be listed in prior years as well as this year’s list.

Actually, we’re a little closer than that. HbK is affiliated with the BDO Seidman Alliance – a nationwide association of independently owned local and regional accounting, consulting and service firms with similar client service goals.
