The deal, which becomes effective January 1, 2026, significantly expands Squire’s geographic presence and strengthens its position as one of the largest CPA firms in Utah. HintonBurdick operates offices across Utah, Arizona, and Nevada, giving the combined organization a broader reach and deeper service capabilities throughout the Intermountain West.
