Sustained Revenue Growth and a Firm Position Among the World's Largest Networks
HLB achieved a 9% year-on-year revenue growth, bringing the network's global combined revenue to US$5.96 billion. The network maintained its 8th position in the prestigious International Accounting Bulletin (IAB) World Survey — a ranking that reflects years of consistent strategic progress, having climbed from 10th place just two years earlier with an impressive 23% growth at that time.
These numbers are not just statistics — they are a testament to the strength of the collaboration between HLB member firms around the world, including Mandat here in Slovakia.
A Truly Global Footprint
Today, HLB connects nearly 52,000 professionals working across more than 1,100 offices in 155 countries. This extensive reach means that wherever our clients need support — whether expanding into new markets, managing cross-border transactions, or navigating complex international tax and regulatory landscapes — the HLB network has trusted local experts on the ground.
Innovation and Technology at the Core
A defining theme of HLB's recent strategy has been the adoption of new technologies, particularly artificial intelligence. The network has taken a proactive role in helping member firms and their clients harness AI to improve efficiency, support decision-making, and unlock new opportunities — all while addressing the associated challenges in cybersecurity and data governance.
HLB's network-wide strategy, Innovative People, Brighter Futures, embodies this forward-looking approach. It is built on the belief that innovation and collaboration empower every professional within the community to drive lasting positive change.
Recognition for Excellence
The strength of the HLB network has not gone unnoticed. In addition to its top-10 global ranking, HLB has been recognised as one of Newsweek's Top Most Loved Workplaces — a recognition based on employee feedback measuring trust, respect, collaboration, and alignment with purpose and values. HLB CEO Marco Donzelli was also honoured as Accounting Leader of the Year at the International Accounting Forum Awards, underscoring the quality of leadership driving the network forward.
