Regional accounting and tax firm scaling toward national mid-market clients
HBK is a 501–1,000-person accounting and tax practice founded in 1949, now executing a deliberate shift upmarket: active projects target larger national clients and unified go-to-market strategy, while hiring leans heavily toward finance and senior roles (11 of 20 open positions). The tech stack is almost entirely Microsoft-centric (Office, Workday, Azure ecosystem, PowerShell, Terraform), with standardizing application stack listed as an internal pain—suggesting ongoing infrastructure consolidation as the firm scales beyond regional operations.
