TANNER - A LEADING FIRM

Tanner LLC is viewed as the leading fi rm in Utah to provide practical, high-quality professional services to a variety of companies. With approximately 80 people committed to delivering Tanner’s services, the fi rm has been recognized as the best accounting fi rm in the state of Utah and is the only accounting fi rm to be recognized as one of “Utah’s Best Places To Work” by the Utah Work/Life Awards. Tanner was honored for the second year in a row as one of the Top 25 Firms in the United States by INSIDE Public Accounting in 2011. In 2012, Tanner was recognized by Zions Bank as one of the “Top 12 companies” in Utah and Idaho.

• According to the MountainWest Capital Network Deal Flow Reports for the past fi ve years, Tanner has been the advisor on 127 transactions in Utah, more than all of the Big 4 and national fi rms combined. Tanner continues to be the fi rm successful companies turn to when contemplating a serious transaction.

• We are easy to work with. Our team provides a nice blend of Big 4 experience with levels of quality and responsiveness that are hard to fi nd in at other fi rms. Tanner’s growth is the result of our unique combination of exceptional quality and responsiveness.

• Tanner’s record for quality is unique. We have a perfect record for quality with our AICPA peer reviewers and the PCAOB. Very few fi rms can make that claim. Banks and venture capital/private equity fi rms respect our reputation, and our audit opinion carries great weight for our clients who decide to pursue additional funding sources.
