What Hawthorn Waymouth & Carroll does

HoganTaylor LLP is a full-service CPA and business advisory firm headquartered in Tulsa, Oklahoma, with a regional office in Little Rock, Arkansas. Founded in 2009, the firm employs more than 350 personnel and serves enterprise and mid-market clients across seven industry verticals: collective investment funds, construction, energy, financial institutions, manufacturing & distribution, nonprofit, and private equity. The firm operates a six-practice service portfolio covering Advisory (including forensic valuation, litigation support, client accounting and advisory services, fractional CFO, and transaction advisory), Assurance (audit, employee benefit plan audits, lease accounting, risk assurance), Talent/HR services, Tax (compliance, estate planning, state and local tax via Synexus Tax Solutions), Technology (consulting and custom software development), and Wealth Management (via HoganTaylor Wealth for high-net-worth individuals and business owners). External validation includes 2026 Top 100 Firm and Regional Leader recognition from Accounting Today and 2025 Top 100 Firm recognition from Inside Public Accounting.

The firm runs a direct advisory go-to-market model in which experienced partners conduct initial consultations and deliver services through face-to-face engagement and ongoing professional relationships, supported by a thought-leadership content engine (blog, 'How That Happened' podcast, webinars, separate wealth-focused blog) targeting business professionals in its regional markets. Pricing is quote-based, structured as multi-year engagements, with fees varying by scope, complexity, and client size; no public pricing exists. A myPortal client platform provides secure document, communication, and financial information access. The firm is privately held as a partnership with no disclosed parent company, subsidiaries, institutional investment, or M&A activity. Note: a separate firmographic record for 'Hawthorn Waymouth & Carroll' lists 1–10 employees, a 1954 founding, and a Baton Rouge location, but no other source material in this dataset corroborates that entity — all substantive enrichment data uniformly describes HoganTaylor LLP.
