KBF, a specialty tax, assurance and advisory firm, has opened its first Arizona office in Phoenix, the company said in a press release and later posted on its website.
The office is at Connect Labs by Wexford, 850 N. 5th Street, Suite 506, in downtown Phoenix. KBF said the location will serve public and private companies, including venture-backed startups, with audit and assurance, accounting for income taxes (ASC 740) and GAAP advisory, managed accounting, and tax planning and compliance for foreign businesses setting up in the United States.
The firm said it is targeting companies in the Valley’s technology, semiconductor, manufacturing and life-sciences sectors. In the announcement, KBF said semiconductor companies have invested more than $300 billion in Greater Phoenix. That figure was not independently confirmed.
“Phoenix is one of the fastest-growing business markets in the country, and many of the companies there operate in industries where KBF already has deep experience, from semiconductors to software and life sciences,” Peter Buss, KBF’s chief executive and managing director, said in the announcement. “Having a local office lets our team work directly with finance leaders in the region, and Alex’s background building client relationships in technology markets makes him the right person to help us grow there.”
Alex Nelson, KBF’s director of practice development, is the firm’s contact for the Phoenix market, according to the announcement and the company’s Phoenix office page. The firm said Nelson has more than 30 years of experience in business development and client relationships in professional services, life sciences, software and technology. Before joining KBF, the announcement said, he was a managing director at a regional accounting and finance consulting firm and a vice president of sales and marketing at a software company.
KBF said the Phoenix office follows recent openings in Denver, San Francisco and Dallas. The firm’s locations directory lists additional U.S. and overseas offices. The Phoenix office number listed on the company’s site is 503-201-6699.
