MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. — Two Minneapolis partners of Eide Bailly LLP, a regional certified public accounting and business advisory firm, have been elected to leadership positions in HLB International, one of the leading global accountancy networks with presence in 130 countries, and its affiliate HLB USA.
Dave Stene has been elected as the chairman of HLB International, which is a three-year term. He most recently served as the chairman of HLB USA and will take over from previous chairman Mogens Andersen, partner at HLB Beierholm in Denmark. Stene has also served as the chair of the Minnesota Society of CPAs and is a member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Governing Council.
“I’m quite pleased and honored to be elected HLB International chairman,” Stene said. “HLB has well-established members in key countries and dynamic, new member firms in developing countries and regions that will help our clients capitalize on investment and business opportunities around the world. This appointment helps me continue Eide Bailly’s commitment to adding resources and expertise to better serve our clients.”
Bryan Ross has been elected to the executive committee of HLB USA. Ross has more than 30 years of tax and consulting experience and has played an integral role in growing Eide Bailly’s international tax services area.
“Because more of our clients are engaging in international business, Eide Bailly has strengthened its resources in international services; in fact, over the past year, we have doubled our international team. This leadership role in HLB USA gives me the opportunity to learn more about the international business landscape and the diverse resources available to our clients through the association, so we can help our clients successfully conduct business in other countries around the world.”
