Anthony “Jay” is a Principal in the Blue Bell, Pennsylvania office of HBK. He has been with the firm since the merging of the former Resnick, Amsterdam, Leshner, P.C. with HBK CPAs & Consultants in November 2016.

Working in both the audit and risk consulting practices, Jay found his niche working with smaller closely-held businesses. Jay enjoys working with clients "in the trenches" to help them grow and develop their businesses into successful ventures, empowering his clients to control their financial information and systems. Jay sees his role for many clients as the CFO that does not exist within many closely-held businesses, both mature and growing.

Working with clients across many industries, with focus in the professional service and medical fields, Jay is able to bring the many resources available at the firm to meet his clients' varying needs and challenges. By proactively planning for both the present and the future, Jay seeks to be there every step of the way of a client's life cycle.
