About Us
Meet the partners behind Hamby & Hengeli, LLC and learn what sets our approach to financial institution accounting apart.
Why Choose Hamby & Hengeli?
Audit and Tax, Under One Roof
Because we work exclusively with financial institutions, the same partner who leads your audit also works on your tax return — so we see how financial accounting decisions affect your tax position, and how tax decisions affect your financial reporting, in both directions.
Industry Specialization
We work exclusively with financial institutions, giving us deep expertise in banking operations, regulations, and industry practices that a general accounting firm can't match.
Partner-Level Attention
You have direct, ongoing contact with your engagement partner from planning through delivery.
No Unexpected Charges
We don't charge for reasonable phone calls and consultations, because we want you reaching out with questions, not avoiding them over cost.
Client-Driven Approach
Your institution's needs are unique, so our engagements are shaped around what you actually need — not a fixed package.
Regional Expertise
Serving financial institutions throughout Texas and surrounding states, with an understanding of the regional regulatory environment and market conditions that affect your business.
