Ranked among the largest national U.S. CPA firms and having served banks for over 75 years, Cherry Bekaert’s Financial Institutions Practice provides advisory, assurance and tax services to community banks ranging in size from De Novos to banks larger than $10 billion in total assets.

With a focus on internal audit offerings, their team assists in establishing best practices that mitigate risk, enhance controls and drive sustainable growth, in addition to interpreting accounting, tax and regulatory requirements.

In October 2025, Cherry Bekaert acquired Herbein + Company, Inc., a Pennsylvania-based CPA firm providing risk management and HR consulting services to community banks throughout the Northeast. Together, their combined Financial Institutions Practice is stronger than ever, with dedicated banking professionals offering both industry and regulatory experience. Through knowledge-sharing, ongoing education, and a collaborative spirit, they aim to be trusted advisors in supporting the New Jersey Bankers Association and elevating the standards of excellence across the banking community.
