OUR HISTORY

Darlene Hagan and Debra Hunter met while studying accounting at ASU and then began their careers at the same accounting firm in the late 70’s. In 1985, they created Hunter Hagan & Company, Ltd., with the goal of creating a firm where women could manage a successful professional accounting career while raising a family.  Thirty-five years later their hard work and commitment to that goal helped them build a firm that far exceeded their original dreams.  No longer known as “that all woman firm” we now maintain a varied and diverse staff servicing a wide variety of clients.   The flexibility and care they provided to their staff during the growth of the firm is evidenced by the long tenure of many of the current team. Having now passed the baton to the next generation of shareholders, we shall be forever grateful to Darlene and Debra for their vision and leadership and wish them the best in their future endeavors.
