Phil Holthouse, Jim Carlin, and John Van Trigt came together to create a firm that was different for their clients and employees — a firm based on technical excellence where the focus is on needs of the client. Our engagement teams are business-focused, and our business model is built on partner access and advice. We use our in-depth institutional knowledge and comprehensive technical skills and deliver value and solutions that help our clients achieve their goals. Clarifying and resolving complex issues is what we do. How we do it is what sets us apart from other CPA firms. What we deliver-value, results, solutions.
HCVT is the largest, Los Angeles-based public accounting firm and the 33rd largest firm nationally.
