HBK CPAs & Consultants has earned ClearlyRated’s Best of Accounting® Award for 2026 – a distinction determined entirely by client ratings, with no nominations or judging panels involved. Only the voices of the clients we serve every day.
A Measure of Client Confidence
In this year’s survey, HBK clients gave us satisfaction scores of 9 or 10 out of 10. Our Net Promoter® Score came in at nearly double the industry average, reflecting the trust and confidence our clients place in the professionals who serve them across 20 offices in five states.
“Earning this recognition tells us that our clients feel heard, supported, and well-served. That’s the standard we hold ourselves to, and it’s a credit to every professional across our firm who shows up with that commitment each day.”
– Thomas M. Angelo, Managing Principal and Chief Executive Officer, HBK CPAs & Consultants

Industry Recognition
“It’s an honor to introduce the 2026 Best of Accounting award winners,” said Baker Nanduru, CEO of ClearlyRated. “These companies keep client experience front and center, pushing the envelope in innovative service approaches. Their work is shaping the future of accounting, and it’s a privilege to recognize their achievements. Congratulations to all!”
This recognition comes alongside HBK’s third consecutive appearance on USA TODAY and Statista’s list of America’s Most Recommended Tax & Accounting Firms for 2026 – further evidence of the consistency and quality our clients experience.
Looking Ahead
Receiving this recognition is meaningful, but its greater value lies in what it represents: a direct line of feedback from the clients who trust us with their most important business decisions. The insights generated through ClearlyRated’s survey process help us understand where we are excelling and where we can continue to grow. Those insights are already informing how we invest in our teams, enhance our proactive advisory approach, and deepen our industry expertise.
We are grateful to every client who took the time to share their experience, and to the HBK team members whose commitment to service quality makes recognition like this possible.
