About Us

Nevada's Premier Financial Consulting Firm

  

Hobbs, Ong & Associates, Inc. ("Hobbs Ong") is a Nevada-owned, independent, full service, municipal advisory and financial consulting firm. Since its founding in 1996, the firm set out to provide governments, agencies, and business organizations with the most comprehensive blend of national and in-state expertise and experience available in Nevada. The founders of Hobbs Ong & Associates, Inc., Guy S. Hobbs and Katherine Ong Sisolak, are the preeminent experts on Nevada’s governmental tax structure and local government financial environment. The wide-ranging services offered by Hobbs Ong are backed by more than 75 years’ experience in Nevada municipal finance and more than four decades combined years of municipal advisory experience. This experience includes the financial management of Clark County, one of the most complex urban county governments in the country. Mr. Hobbs served as Chief Financial Officer for Clark County from 1983 through 1995, and many of the financial policies promulgated during that period are still considered “best practices” in local government financial administration. Mrs. Sisolak served as the County’s Budget Manager during this same time period. The founders also have significant experience in the development of state and local tax policy and have become a well-regarded source of information and support to the Nevada State Legislature and local governments.
