Top 50 accounting firm HBK has combined with McDirmit Davis, an Orlando, FL-based accounting, audit, tax, and financial services firm, effective Nov. 2.
Financial terms of the deal weren’t disclosed.
This is the Canfield, OH-based firm’s third M&A deal in 2026 and its second since securing an outside investment from H.I.G. Capital in August. In May, HBK added Brimmer, Burek and Keelan, a Tampa, FL-based CPA firm, and last month it added Curchin Group, a midsized, full-service accounting firm based in Red Bank, NJ.

The combination with McDirmit Davis establishes HBK’s first office in the Orlando market.
Founded in 1984, McDirmit Davis serves individuals and businesses throughout Florida and is ranked among the top 10 accounting firms in Central Florida by the Orlando Business Journal.
The firm’s partners bring more than 100 years of combined public accounting experience, with work spanning government contractors, simulation contractors, local governments, employee benefit plans, and family-owned businesses.
“McDirmit Davis brings deep roots in Central Florida and specialized experience with government contractors. Their team expands our Florida presence and adds expertise our clients will benefit from.” HBK CEO Tom Angelo said in a statement on Nov. 10.
The McDirmit Davis team of 23 professionals will continue serving clients from its current office in Orlando, officials say. McDirmit Davis clients will gain access to HBK’s Industry Solution Groups, advisory services, wealth management through HBKS Wealth Advisors, and technology solutions through Vertilocity, the accounting firm’s technology advisory practice.
“Joining HBK gives our clients more resources as they grow and gives our people more paths to build their careers. It’s the right next step for our firm,” Troy Olson, managing partner of McDirmit Davis, said in a statement.
In addition, HBK announced Tuesday that Gary Sanders has joined the firm’s office in Naples, FL, effective Nov. 1. Sanders has served individuals and businesses in the Naples area for more than 40 years as the founder of Gary Sanders CPA PC. His clients will now have access to HBK’s broader team while continuing to work with him directly.
