Partner

Jack Murray has provided tax and assurance services since 1988 and serves as the leader for HoganTaylor’s Nonprofit practice. The practice is substantial with more than 100 clients that run the gamut from large public and private colleges and universities, associations and foundations to smaller service organizations such as voluntary health and welfare organizations and member service organizations.

Jack works regularly with his clients’ management and board members to help them understand the unique accounting and reporting requirements for entities in the nonprofit/government sector, such as:

  • helping them set up systems to measure the cost of programs so decisions can be made to align resources accordingly
  • assisting them with increasingly difficult and complex accounting standards and compliance issues
  • helping them with heightened corporate governance requirements
  • assisting them in setting up processes and systems that enable greater transparency

Aside from Jack’s extensive work in the nonprofit and government sector, he also has significant experience in the oil and gas, manufacturing and distribution industries.  Prior to working at HoganTaylor, Jack served in the comptroller’s area with Phillips Petroleum and worked in both tax and audit areas with large local accounting firm prior to joining the HoganTaylor predecessor Tullius Taylor Sartain & Sartain.
