What is HLBI?

HLB International is a fast growing, dynamic network of independent professional accounting firms and business advisers. Formed in 1969, HLBI ranks in the top 12 international accounting networks, servicing clients through its member firms in over 100 countries.

HLBI focuses on quality and personal service. Quality is the key driving force, reinforced by regular quality assurance reviews of all member firms, an up-to-date ISA compliance international audit manual and membership of external professional bodies focused on quality issues. Personal service is enshrined in our “Global Care” approach to client business. HLB’s perspective is strengthened by an international corporate identity, projecting a consistent and distinctive image worldwide, necessary for attracting multi-national business.

Member firms are well established locally with most firms ranked among the top twelve nationally. Close contact is maintained between members through international referral engagements, regular meetings, bulletins and news flashes from the central office and through use of a global intranet, providing a wide range of data and including on-line training and seminars via the HLB Academy.

The initials ‘HLB’ derive from the names of three early members of the group. Through mergers, all three names have disappeared, and in 1990, Hodgson Landau Brands became ‘HLB International’. HLBI now stands for “Helping Local Business Internationally”.
