The annual 40 Under 40 Awards recognize accomplished individuals in the local business community who have made significant contributions to their companies, communities and industries, all before reaching the age of 40.
Huffman has been recognized for his exceptional expertise in advising founder-owned and private-equity backed companies across the Southeast.

In addition to his role at FD, Huffman’s dedication and commitment to the field of accounting extend to various leadership positions and affiliations. In 2015, he was appointed by then Governor Nathan Deal to the Georgia State Board of Accountancy, where he currently serves as Chairman.
“Clay has shown remarkable leadership in the Board’s charge to address rapid changes to the CPA profession, said Paul Ziga, Executive Director of the Georgia State Board of Accountancy. “The Board is fortunate to have someone of Clay’s caliber navigating the way for future success.”
He is an active member of the Georgia Society of CPAs Leadership Council, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Auditing Standards Board and the Peachtree Road UMC Administrative Board.
“I have the privilege of working closely with Clay in his volunteer roles as a CPA here in Georgia,” said Boyd Search, President and CEO of The Georgia Society of CPAs. “His exceptional skills, dedication and contributions to the CPA profession have culminated in this prestigious award.”
As an alumnus of the University of Georgia, he has also previously served as the Chairman of the Terry College of Business Young Alumni Board.
