LONDON – HLB, the global network of independent advisory and accounting firms, has reported that the network’s delivery of its strategy has returned global revenues of $2.73 billion, a record 15% growth increase from the previous year.

In its newly published Global Annual Review, 2018 saw HLB take many transformational steps into the future, taking along the way its people, clients and communities. The network’s growth is the result of many factors, including:

  • The launch of the network’s new brand, which better reflects our collaborative and entrepreneurial approach to business
  • A 10% increase in overall headcount
  • Particularly strong growth in Europe, which saw a 29% increase in fee incomes and the network breaking into the top 10 nationally
  • HLB becoming a top 10 network in advisory services, with growth of 85% in fee income
Marco Donzelli, HLB Chief Executive Officer says: “Our success is the result of HLB adapting to these turbulent times while anticipating where growth opportunities arise.
