HoganTaylor moves into new Utica Place offices
HoganTaylor has moved into expanded offices in the new Utica Place building at 2222 S. Utica Ave., combining practices that had been in separate locations.
Now the firm's assurance practice, which was in the Warren Place office complex, is sharing office space with its headquarters, tax and business valuation/litigation support practices that had been in the first Utica Place property.
This will be the first time all the Tulsa practice groups have occupied offices together since becoming HoganTaylor in a January 2009 merger of two regional public accounting firms.
The nearly 41,000-square-foot office features many amenities, including dedicated video conferencing capability connecting each of its offices in Tulsa, Oklahoma City and northwest Arkansas. HoganTaylor has grown to about 200 employees.
