H2R CPA has been providing accounting, auditing, tax compliance, and consulting services to Fraternal Benefit Societies for over 25 years, since 1989.

We currently serve Fraternal Benefit Societies in Pennsylvania and Ohio and are familiar with the accounting practices prescribed by the insurance departments of those states.


Technical Expertise

​H2R CPA has a thorough understanding of statutory accounting principles. We have participated in technical discussions with both the National Associations of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) and the Ohio and Pennsylvania Departments of Insurance. We help to ensure our clients properly apply statutory accounting principles and accurately prepare their annual and quarterly statements.

In over 25 years of serving Fraternal Benefit Societies, our clients have never been required to make an adjustment as a result of a State Department of Insurance audit and have met all required deadlines.
