YHB has been named one of Accounting Today’s 2026 Best Accounting Firms for Technology, a national recognition that places the firm among a select group of only 10 accounting firms helping shape how technology, AI, and human judgment will define the future of client service.
The recognition showcases YHB’s continued investment in building a more connected and future ready advisory firm, one that uses technology not simply to improve efficiency, but to strengthen decision making, collaboration, and the client experience.
“This recognition matters because it reflects where YHB is headed and where we believe the profession must go,” said Tom Milburn, CEO of YHB. “Clients are facing more complexity, not less. Our responsibility is to give our people the tools, training, and confidence to bring better insight to those decisions. Technology helps us move faster, but its real value is helping us advise better.”
While many firms are still evaluating how AI fits into traditional accounting workflows, YHB is already applying technology across practice management, administrative support, communications, advisory, tax preparation, and audit testing to change the sequence of work itself. By reducing time spent on manual collection and assembly and improving how information moves through the firm, YHB is creating more space for interpretation, collaboration, and advisory judgment. For clients, that means more timely insight and stronger strategic conversations. For professionals, it means more meaningful work and greater opportunity to contribute earlier in their careers.
“The firms that lead this profession will not be defined by who adopts the most tools,” said Cyrus Kapadia, Chief Technology and Innovation Officer at YHB. “They will be defined by who uses technology with discipline, governance, security, and purpose. At YHB, we are building the infrastructure and habits that allow our people to work smarter, think deeper, and deliver more meaningful guidance to clients.”
As YHB expands the use of AI, automation, and connected systems across the firm, security remains central to the strategy. The firm continues to invest in data protection, governance, and responsible technology practices so clients can have confidence that innovation is being pursued with the same care and discipline they expect from their advisors.
At YHB, technology investment is ultimately a people investment. The firm is creating an environment where professionals can spend less time on repetitive work and more time developing the judgment, curiosity, and perspective that define a strong advisor.
Being named one of Accounting Today’s Best Accounting Firms for Technology showcases the direction YHB has been moving for years: toward a modern advisory model built around insight, trust, and long term client value.
As technology continues to reshape the accounting profession, YHB will continue investing in the systems, talent, and capabilities that help clients make better decisions and help professionals build meaningful, future focused careers.
