HKT Consulting Services is a firm built on three values embedded in our name — Honesty, Knowledge, and Trust. Our consultants bring hands-on accounting, corporate finance, and advisory expertise to help organizations make confident financial decisions and deliver measurable results.

Consultants grounded in professional designations and real-world experience across accounting, finance, and advisory.
Long-term relationships built on reliability, confidentiality, and results you can measure quarter after quarter.
From day-to-day accounting to high-level strategic advisory, HKT provides the financial leadership your business needs — without the overhead of a full-time team.
Accurate, timely financial records that keep you compliant and in control.
Forward-looking analysis that turns your financial data into better decisions.
Senior-level financial guidance for the moments that matter most.
Our name is our promise: Honesty, Knowledge, and Trust. Behind our founders stands a full team of consultants, hand-picked and trained to those same standards. Every engagement is staffed with the right mix of expertise — and every consultant is accountable for delivering results, not just reports.
Here's what that means for your bottom line: cleaner books that close faster and cost less to maintain. Forecasts that let you see cash problems months before they hit. Financial reporting that wins over lenders and investors instead of raising questions. Most clients find our engagements pay for themselves — through recovered time, avoided mistakes, and decisions made with real numbers instead of gut feel.
The firm is led by Henry Duong, CPA, CFA, Founder and Managing Partner, an EY alumnus whose career spans public accounting, corporate finance, and investment analysis. Holding both the CPA designation and the CFA charter — a combination held by a small fraction of finance professionals — Henry sets the standard every HKT consultant works to: precise, compliant financials paired with strategic insight into what the numbers mean for your business.
Tax strategy is led by cofounder Jenny Bui, EA, who built her career in PwC's tax practice and is a federally licensed Enrolled Agent authorized to represent taxpayers before the IRS. Jenny brings Big 4 tax rigor to businesses of every size — from proactive tax planning that keeps more of what you earn, to compliance that holds up under examination, to standing between you and the IRS when it counts.
Here's the difference from a big firm: Henry and Jenny lead every client relationship personally. You're never handed off to whoever's available — you get partner-level attention on every engagement, with a dedicated team of consultants behind it that scales as your needs grow.
Results our consultants have delivered for businesses like yours.
HKT's consultants cleaned up two years of books and had us audit-ready in six weeks. The audit closed with zero adjustments — a first for us.
The financial model HKT built gave us the confidence — and the credibility — to secure our expansion financing. Clear, rigorous, and practical.
Their fractional CFO service is like having a full finance team on demand. Honest advice, deep knowledge, and people we trust completely with our numbers.
Perspectives from our consultants on accounting, finance, and strategy.
Practical steps to keep cash working for you, not against you.
1. Forecast 13 weeks out. A rolling 13-week cash forecast is the single best early-warning system a business can have. Update it weekly — it turns cash surprises into cash plans.
2. Invoice the day work is done. Every day between delivery and invoicing is a free loan to your customer. Automate invoicing wherever possible.
3. Know your collection cycle. Track days sales outstanding monthly. If it's creeping up, tighten terms, require deposits, or follow up sooner.
4. Time your payables. Pay on the due date, not before — unless early-payment discounts beat your cost of capital.
5. Keep a cash buffer target. Set a minimum cash floor (e.g., 2–3 months of operating expenses) and treat dipping below it as a trigger for action, not a hope it recovers.
What auditors look for and how to prepare before they ask.
Reconciliations current? Every balance sheet account should reconcile to support — bank, AR, AP, loans, fixed assets. Unreconciled accounts are the first red flag auditors see.
Documentation organized? Contracts, leases, loan agreements, and board minutes should be in one place. Scrambling for documents mid-audit extends fieldwork and fees.
Revenue recognition consistent? Be ready to explain when and why you recognize revenue, and show it's applied the same way every period.
Estimates supportable? Allowances, accruals, and depreciation lives need a documented rationale — "same as last year" isn't one.
If any of these gave you pause, an audit-readiness review before the auditors arrive costs far less than the extra fieldwork after.
Signs your business has outgrown bookkeeping-only support.
You're making big decisions on gut feel. Pricing, hiring, expansion, financing — if these calls aren't backed by a model, you're guessing with real money.
Lenders or investors are asking harder questions. Once outside capital is involved, you need board-quality reporting and someone who speaks their language.
Your books are clean but tell you nothing. Accurate historicals are table stakes. If no one is turning them into forecasts, KPIs, and action, you're driving by the rearview mirror.
You can't justify $250K+ for a full-time CFO. That's the point of fractional: senior finance leadership, scaled to what your business actually needs.
If two or more of these sound familiar, it's time for a conversation.
We're building a firm where talented consultants grow faster than they would anywhere else. If Honesty, Knowledge, and Trust sound like how you already work — we should talk.
No seven-layer hierarchy. You'll work directly with our founding partners — CPA, CFA, and EA credentials, EY and PwC trained — on every engagement.
You won't be a cog on a 40-person engagement. Our consultants own workstreams, present to clients, and see the impact of their work firsthand.
Accounting, finance, tax, and advisory across industries — the kind of range that takes a decade to see inside a big firm.
Engagement-based work, remote-friendly, and a culture that measures output — not hours in a seat.
We're always looking for exceptional consultants in accounting, finance, and tax — whether you're Big 4 trained or big-firm talented and ready for something better. Send us your resume and a few lines on what you do best.
