HBK has been recognized as a Best Place to Work in New Jersey by NJBIZ, a weekly business journal covering the state’s business activity and for its business leaders and executives. The 2023 NJBIZ Best Place to Work honorees were announced July 12.

“Based upon the results of a survey conducted by BridgeTower Media’s Best Companies Group, the 2023 honorees across small (15 – 49 employees), medium (50 – 249 employees) and large (more than 250 employees) employers are determined from none other than their own employees,” NJBiz announced. “The program confidentially collects data, allowing workers to share feedback about their employers, and for those companies to learn from and act on that knowledge.”

HBK’s selection came in the “large company” category. The firm has also been recognized in Florida and Ohio as a best place to work in 2023.

“We are honored to be recognized as a Best Place to Work alongside many of New Jersey’s finest companies,” noted HBK Mid-Atlantic regional Principal-in-Charge Thomas M. Angelo, CPA, CITP. “Our team members are our most important asset, and cultivating an environment where they can continue to learn and grow professionally while balancing their personal needs is a priority for us. I continue to be proud of our team for their commitment to our culture, our clients, and most of all, each other.”

HBK, an Accounting Today magazine Top 50 U.S. CPA firm, operates from 16 offices in four states, including two New Jersey offices in Holmdel and Cherry Hill.

HBK CPAs & Consultants (HBK) is honored to be named as one of the “2023 Best Employers in Ohio.” The list, which includes 60 Ohio-based businesses, is compiled and released annually by Best Companies Group in partnership with Crain’s Cleveland Business magazine. HBK ranked 12th in the “Large Employer Category.”

“Our success is due to the people we have brought on board over the years,” noted HBK Chief Human Resources Officer Linda Evans. “We’ve carefully selected individuals who not only have the knowledge and talent to do the job but who share the same values and enjoy working together. This has been particularly evident in the past few years as we’ve navigated the pandemic. Our employees have shown their true colors by supporting one another and working together to help our clients. It’s our team’s collective spirit that sets us apart.”

Award recipients were selected based on a two-part Best Companies Group survey. According to the Group’s release, “The first part consisted of evaluating each nominated company’s workplace policies, practices, philosophy, systems and demographics. This part of the process was worth approximately 25% of the total evaluation. The second part consisted of an employee survey to measure the employee experience. This part of the process was worth approximately 75% of the total evaluation. The combined scores determined the top companies and the final rankings.”
