Canfield, Ohio-based HBK CPAs & Consultants has added Tampa-based Brimmer, Burek and Keelan LLP, expanding its Florida footprint.
The combination, effective May 1, establishes a stronger presence for HBK CPAs & Consultants in the Tampa Bay market and expands its reach across the state. With the addition, the firm now serves clients across six Florida markets: Boca Raton, Fort Myers, Naples, Stuart, Sarasota and Tampa.
BB&K brings 22 professionals, including two partners, with experience in retail, construction and professional services. The firm is known in the Tampa market for its personalized service and technical expertise.
“The Tampa Bay market is one we have had our eye on for some time, and BB&K is exactly the kind of firm we look for,” said Thomas Angelo, managing principal and CEO of HBK. “Their commitment to client relationships and technical excellence is the same foundation HBK has been built on since 1949. This combination gives clients in Tampa access to the full depth of HBK’s resources, and it gives our broader client base a trusted local presence in a market that matters.”
BB&K’s managing partner, Donald Keyes, who will join HBK as principal and market leader of the Tampa office, said: “Joining HBK gives our team access to capabilities and resources that will meaningfully expand how we serve our clients. We have spent years building deep relationships in this community, and now we can offer those clients a wider breadth of services alongside everything they have always received from us. This is the right next step for our people and for our clients.”
