Opens Third Office in Lehi Anchored By BYU Alum

June 24, 2026

(LOS ANGELES, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 24) — Los Angeles-based accounting firm HCVT opened a new location in Lehi – its third in Utah, company officials announced today. 

Leading the new office is Douglas H. Andersen, State and Local Tax Partner at HCVT and Brigham Young University alum. Previously, he 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 brings with him deep experience in the tech space having previously 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 managing partner. “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 location 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.

HCVT currently employs 20 in Utah. Additional talent will be hired at all experience levels as opportunities present.

Regardless of their office location, HCVT employees can work on the firm’s varied roster of sophisticated clients, which include entertainment companies; notable individuals; private equity firms; family offices; real estate developers; and U.S. entity work on behalf of its international clients.

“Our clients will have our best thinking and strategy, whether our talent is located in Southern California, Lehi, or any of our other offices,” said Haleblian. “For our employees, we’ve found that location matters. So, we give them the latitude to live where they want, while still enjoying firm-wide challenges and exciting clientele that accompany a career at HCVT.”

Company officials also announced the hiring of Jennifer Maroney, formerly the alumni director of the BYU Marriott School of Accountancy. Maroney, who joins as a manager, brings to HCVT deep relationships with BYU’s extensive network of accounting grads 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.”
