We are proud to announce that HBE has been named one of the 2026 Best Accounting Firms to Work For, a national recognition presented by Accounting Today and Best Companies Group.
The annual program recognizes accounting firms across the country that have created exceptional workplace cultures and positive employee experiences. For us, the recognition is especially meaningful because it is shaped in large part by feedback from the people who experience our culture every day: our employees.
“Being recognized as one of the Best Accounting Firms to Work For is something we are incredibly proud of because it reflects the experience our people have here at HBE,” said Scott Becker, Managing Partner of HBE. “As our firm continues to grow and evolve, we have remained intentional about creating an environment where people with diverse backgrounds, experiences, perspectives, and ways of working can build meaningful careers, develop professionally, form strong relationships, and feel supported by the people around them. This recognition belongs to our entire team and reflects what they contribute to HBE every day.”
We have grown significantly since we were first recognized among the Best Accounting Firms to Work For. Now earning the distinction for the fourth time, we have continued to expand our team, capabilities, and reach while remaining committed to the culture and relationships that have long defined HBE. That growth has also created new opportunities for our employees to develop their careers, explore areas of specialization, take on leadership roles, and make an impact within the communities we serve.
The Best Accounting Firms to Work For program evaluates participating firms through a two-part process that examines workplace policies, practices, and benefits, along with employees’ perspectives on their workplace experience. The results are analyzed by Best Companies Group to identify firms demonstrating strong workplace cultures and high levels of employee engagement and satisfaction.
“We are proud of how far HBE has come, but even more excited about where we are going,” Becker said. “Our people will continue to be at the center of that future, and this recognition reinforces the importance of continuing to invest in the culture, opportunities, and relationships that make HBE a great place to build a career.”
The 2026 Best Accounting Firms to Work For will be featured in the September 2026 issue of Accounting Today.
