Biography

Jim Taylor was a founding partner of Tullius & Taylor, later Tullius Taylor Sartain & Sartain, in 1990 where he helped build one of the largest and most highly respected independent practices in Oklahoma and Northwest Arkansas. Jim’s vision and relationship with David Hogan and other Hogan & Slovacek shareholders was instrumental in leading to the January 1, 2009 merger that formed HoganTaylor.

Jim leads HoganTaylor’s Assurance Services, believed to be the largest audit practice in the state in terms of number of CPA’s and total personnel. It is his vision and passion for excellence that has led HoganTaylor to seek out the most advanced audit technologies available and that his team is among the best trained and contains the brightest minds. He is a staunch supporter of continual improvement and consequently, HoganTaylor’s assurance group regularly exceeds the CPE credits required by the AICPA.

Jim serves some of the most respected names in the financial institutions realm – Wilmington Trust and Bank of Oklahoma Financial Corp – specializing in providing assurance services for complicated investment funds. Moreover, he is a recognized expert in serving publicly-held companies and organizations involved in the construction and oil and gas industries, in addition to serving one of the largest private community foundations in the country.

Also within Jim’s assurance practice area are the firm’s Employee Benefit Plan Practice Group and the Non-Profit/Government Practice Group, both considered leaders in their respective market niches.

Jim graduated from Oklahoma State University with a B.S. in Accounting. He began his career in 1969 at Arthur Young & Company where he was an audit partner for seven years before going into independent practice.
