Tribal Industry

HintonBurdick's significant depth and broad range of experience in the local government industry ties directly to the tribal government industry we have served for more than 30 years. We provide audit, federal single audit, accounting and consulting services for a wide range of tribal and related entities in various states. Our offices in Utah, Nevada and Arizona are located in close proximity to numerous tribal entities in the west. Our office in Flagstaff, Arizona makes our staff more accessible and enhances communication with the clients we serve that are located on the Navajo Reservation.
