LOS ANGELES, CA – March 18, 2020… GHJ (GHJ) was named #6 “Firm to Watch” and #15 “Top Regional Leader in the West” on Accounting Today’s 2020 Top 100 List. This is the fifth time GHJ has been recognized for this achievement in each category.

Our employees lead with integrity and selflessly mentor each other. We are deeply committed to our core values and incorporate them into every aspect of our business to ultimately provide unparalleled client service.

GHJ is also recognized for steering conversation in the marketplace around nonprofit sector highlights, food and beverage innovations and trends, tax legislation and the changing entertainment and media atmosphere.

Additionally, GHJ has been a member of HLB International (HLB), a worldwide network of independent accounting firms and business advisers, for more than 25 years.
