Direct peers

• WithumSmith+Brown PC (Withum): Mid-market CPA and advisory firm with one of the largest dedicated nonprofit practice groups in the US. Comparable in serving nonprofits across audit, tax, and outsourced accounting services, though larger and more geographically diversified.
• CapinCrouse LLP: Boutique national CPA firm exclusively focused on nonprofits, providing audit, tax, advisory, and outsourced accounting services. The most direct comparable to Han Group in exclusive nonprofit focus, though based in the Midwest/South.
• Novogradac & Company LLP: CPA firm with deep nonprofit, affordable housing, and tax credit compliance specialization. Comparable to Han Group in vertical audit expertise, regulatory compliance focus (including Form 990 and federal program audits), and boutique-mid-market positioning.
• Marks Paneth (now Topel Forman): Mid-Atlantic focused CPA firm historically known for nonprofit and real estate specialization. Closely comparable to Han Group in customer mix (nonprofit associations, charities, foundations) and East Coast geographic concentration.
• Sobel & Co LLC: New Jersey/Mid-Atlantic CPA firm with a dedicated nonprofit practice including audit, tax, and advisory services. Highly comparable in customer mix, service line breadth (audit/tax/advisory), and regional boutique positioning.
• Clark Nuber PS (now FORVIS): Specialized CPA firm (now part of FORVIS) with a long-standing nonprofit, healthcare, and association audit/advisory practice serving the Pacific Northwest and nationally. Highly comparable in vertical specialization, partner-led engagement model, and boutique-mid-market positioning.

Broad incumbents

• BDO USA: Top-5 global accounting network with a dedicated nonprofit industry group offering audit, tax, and advisory. Competes with Han Group on larger nonprofit RFPs but offers broader international reach and deeper technology investment.
• Plante Moran: Top-20 US accounting firm with a substantial nonprofit practice serving healthcare systems, higher education, foundations, and associations. Comparable service lines but larger scale and broader geographic reach than Han Group.
• Grant Thornton LLP: Top-6 US accounting firm with a substantial nonprofit practice including higher education, healthcare nonprofits, and associations. Notably, Han Group partner Lisa Lipsky spent 17 years as Audit Partner at Grant Thornton, illustrating the recruiting path between the two firms.
• Raffa (now CBIZ): Former specialized nonprofit CPA firm that was acquired by CBIZ, retaining nonprofit expertise within a national platform. Notable because multiple Han Group partners (Jennifer Han, Jan McDaid, Liz Eun) previously worked at Raffa, making it the closest cultural/operational ancestor.
