Address 90 East 200 North, St. George. Self-described as "longest established CPA firm in St. George." Industry focus on hospitality, medical/dental, agriculture, and construction. Utah Association of CPAs member directory cross-references.
Hafen Buckner Everett & Graff is one of the longest-tenured CPA firms in St. George, structured as a four-partner local firm with industry specialties in hospitality, medical and dental practices, agriculture, and construction. The firm describes itself as the longest-established CPA practice in St. George, and it operates from an office on East 200 North in central St. George.
The industry-vertical orientation matters in this category. Many small CPA firms handle a generalist mix of personal returns and small-business work; HBEG has visibly oriented its practice around four specific industries that match the dominant economic categories of Southern Utah. For owners of restaurants, dental practices, ranch operations, and contracting firms, that specialization translates to deeper familiarity with the tax and accounting issues specific to each industry.
Web presence is functional and the UACPA member directory cross-references the firm. The main verification gap is that the firm's homepage does not list partner first names — a meaningful gap for a register that prioritizes publicly named ownership.
