Los Angeles-based IPA 100 firm Holthouse, Carlin & Van Trigt (HCVT; FY24 revenue of $267.3 million) announced the opening of a new office in Lehi, its third location in Utah.

Leading the new office is Douglas H. Andersen, State and Local Tax Partner at HCVT, who previously worked at the firm’s Long Beach, Calif., office. Andersen joined HCVT in 2020 after leading Deloitte’s multi-state tax practice in the Pacific Northwest. He also served as Deloitte’s national technology industry sector leader for multistate taxes and as a tax director at Expedia.

“Doug’s deep accounting expertise, tech sector experience and his ties to Utah make him an ideal leader for our new office in Lehi and as we grow HCVT’s presence in the Utah Valley and Silicon Slopes,” said Vicken Haleblian, HCVT’s CEO and MP. “Given Utah’s vibrant business base, experienced workforce and the presence of local universities and outstanding accounting programs, we’re making significant investments here.”

The Lehi office joins HCVT’s existing offices in Salt Lake City and Park City, which opened in December 2024 and 2014, respectively. Both are led by HCVT Partner Blake Christian.

“This third office will give our clients even greater flexibility in how they access our talent, expertise and strategic thinking for which we are known,” said Haleblian.

Company officials also announced the hiring of Jennifer Maroney as a manager. Formerly the alumni director of the BYU Marriott School of Accountancy, Maroney brings deep relationships with BYU’s extensive network of accounting graduates and the Utah Valley’s regional business community.

“Both Doug and Jennifer bring their talents and expansive business and accounting networks to HCVT,” said Haleblian. “We welcome them and are excited to have them as we continue to build our presence in this vibrant region.”
