Expansion Opportunity ZHF has recently opened a second office in Cincinnati, signaling growth and an opportunity to cross-sell multi-state tax, business incentives, and government affairs services to regional clients and firms in Ohio and the Midwest.

Incentives Expertise The firm emphasizes business and economic development incentives, with leadership hires in this area and a track record in negotiating incentives, tax credits, and related government approvals – potential upsell to corporations seeking state-level credits or tailored incentive strategies.

Government Affairs Access ZHF combines legal, CPA, and former government officials to provide government relations and political law services, presenting an opportunity to offer integrated regulatory risk management and policy advisory to clients facing compliance or legislative changes.

High-Tax Advisory Niche With focus on multistate and local taxes and a history of tax controversy and audits, there is a potential to target mid-market firms and owners with complex tax profiles who require ongoing multistate tax planning and audit defense.

Leadership Network Key hires including a President and Director of Economic Development Incentives plus involvement in state tax authorities suggest a strong network and credibility; leverage this to establish partnerships or referral programs with CPA firms, consultancies, and corporate legal departments seeking “inside government” expertise.
