About us

Who we are

HLB Adria consists of several integrated business entities with a strong network of partners that are part of the successful, fast-growing global network of advisors, accountants and auditors HLB Global, whose members provide their services worldwide. Residence of HLB Adria is located in the Republic of Croatia, with a vision of business support for all subjects from the Adria region who want to do business across borders and subjects from third countries who want to do business in the Region.

We see ourselves as a dynamic organization that brings together experts from the fields of economics, law, and IT, whose primary goal is to support entrepreneurs and managers in achieving their goals. We are particularly focused on providing support to organizations striving for growth and development, as well as cross-border business.

History of HLB Adria

HLB Adria was established on the foundations of the auditing firm Inženjerski biro-revizija d.o.o., founded in 1993 in Rijeka. In 2022, we merged with the accounting and consulting group QFACT, with whom we had been cooperating for years. Since then, HLB Adria has been the sole territorial representative of the global HLB network in Croatia, also providing services in other countries in the region through a network of partners or directly14.

Vision

Our vision is to be a dynamic and reliable organization whose services and business solutions can be compared to the best in the world. Our goal is to be a key factor in the development of the ecosystem, entities and their components, as well as our own employees and partners14.

Mission

Driven by creativity and energy, we rely on traditional values to provide integrated business solutions. Our mission is to enable business entities to stay ahead of the competition in the challenges of rapid technological and social transformation. We strive for quality and want to create a better environment for living14.
