INDIANAPOLIS – McGuire Sponsel, a specialty tax consulting firm with clients throughout the United States, announced today an investment in a new firm regional office located in Phoenix, Arizona.

We have been fortunate to grow alongside the industry for the last 15 years and look forward to the firm’s continued growth.”
