CliftonLarsonAllen LLP (CLA), the eighth largest accounting firm in the United States, will soon start construction on the firm’s new office at Tacoma Centre, which the company announced back in January, reported the Puget Sound Business Journal.
The office will be the firm’s 10th in Washington, and CLA will be the only national CPA firm with an office in Tacoma. CLA has hired Robert Best, a well-known longtime Tacoma CPA, to help lead the office. Best has more than 30 years of experience working with Tacoma businesses.
Tacoma Centre, formally known as Tacoma Financial Center, recently underwent a $5 million renovation, primarily focusing on its ground-floor lobby by building owner Kirkland-based MJR Development.
The new Tacoma office further solidifies CLA’s significant presence in Washington. The firm also has offices in Bellevue, Spokane, Yakima, Kennewick, Wenatchee, Omak, Othello, Quincy, and Moses Lake.
“The current redevelopment of downtown Tacoma is very impressive, and we’re glad to be a part of it.”
Jen Leary, CEO of CLA
