Southern California CPA Firm Climbs in National Rankings
Holthouse Carlin & Van Trigt LLP (HCVT) has again been ranked as a “Top 100” CPA firm in the Unites States. Public Accounting Report (PAR), a national monthly newsletter focused on the public accounting industry, ranked HCVT the 90th largest CPA firm in the country based on annual revenue—a move up of 10 places from last year’s 100th-place ranking. Only three firms headquartered in the Los Angeles area made this year’s list, and HCVT was ranked the fastest growing CPA firm on the West Coast.
With 71% of firm revenue attributable to tax consulting and tax compliance for large, closely held businesses and high net-worth individuals, HCVT was the top-ranked firm for the second consecutive year in terms of tax specialization. The Firm also has four partners focused on audit, review and business management services, providing clients with a full array of accounting services.
Managing Partner, Phillip Holthouse credits “HCVT’s rapid growth and national ranking to our professional reputation in the marketplace, the loyalty of our diverse client base, as well as our dedicated and talented staff.” Long Beach Tax Partner, Blake Christian adds: “HCVT offers both clients and staff a unique alternative to the Big Four and national firms in terms of offering a high level of tax and attest expertise.”
The Firm has extensive expertise with real estate entities (including affordable housing projects), construction companies, service firms, high tech, manufacturing, and distribution companies. The Firm also has specialized lines of service for 401(k) and other benefit plan audits (predominantly for larger, publicly and privately held entities), Business Management/contract accounting for entertainment and high-net-worth clients, and California Enterprise Zone incentive studies.
Each of the Firm’s partners and principals has over sixteen years of public accounting experience, including significant time with international CPA firms. Currently, the 13 partners and 80 plus staff, service clients throughout the United States from offices in Los Angeles, Long Beach and Westlake Village.
