HTB services financial institutions with combined total assets exceeding three billion dollars, some of which have been our clients for over forty years. The average size of an HTB client is approximately 250 million dollars which focuses our concentration in servicing community oriented financial institutions.

Just as your loan committee scrutinizes the financial statements of potential borrowers, your institution’s quarterly and annual statement are scrutinized by your customers, your competitors and both federal and state regulatory agencies. We understand the special accounting needs of your industry.

Our audit team is trained to evaluate internal controls, to conduct compliance tests, to review loans and to obtain sufficient competent evidential matter to support our opinions.
