HBE LLP (www.hbecpa.com) is pleased to announce that, for the eighth consecutive year, they have been named to the Accounting MOVE Project’s 2022 Best Firms for Equity Leadership and 2022 Best Firms for Women. With women leading 42% of the firm, HBE is one of the 15 firms awarded with these honors nationwide.

“We are committed to fostering an environment where all of our associates, regardless of gender, age, race, or other diversity, are able to thrive within the profession,” stated Scott Becker, managing partner of HBE. “Through our core values centered on integrity, respect, and teamwork, we will continue to support and advance flexible leadership pathways built upon unique contributions and talents.”

The MOVE methodology investigates the factors proven to be essential for career success: money, opportunity, vital supports, and entrepreneurship. HBE emphasizes employment programs proven to retain mid-career women, including phased return to work for new parents, remote-work opportunities, work-life supports for busy season, and coaching to help managers lead teams based on productivity, not face time.

Accounting MOVE Project is the only annual benchmarking project that both counts and advocates for women in the profession. Firms receive benchmarking reports based on the MOVE Project. The Equity Leadership list recognizes firms that have achieved that milestone through any combination of culture, programs, initiatives, and growth. Learn more at www.afwa.org/move-project.
