Squire Announces Office Managing Partner Promotions in Orem and Salt Lake City

Squire, a celebrated accounting firm with more than 50 years of experience serving the Utah community, has announced a pair of promotions to reflect its continued growth.

CEO Jonyce Bullock has delegated the office managing partner role in the Orem office to Dave Archibald. Danny Barlow will also take on a similar role in the Salt Lake City office, replacing Shane Edwards, who had been in that position since 2018.

Archibald, who holds a bachelor’s degree in accounting and business management and a master’s degree in accounting from Brigham Young University, has been a member of the Squire family since 2005. In 2009, he assumed a partner role within the firm and has called information systems and integration between systems his primary areas of focus during his career.

“It’s encouraging and exciting to see the firm in the growth stages that require two office managing partners,” Archibald said. “We’ve just rolled out new values initiatives and a culture initiative as well to help grow the firm and to energize our people. Working around those things is going to be exciting.”

Barlow joined the ranks at Squire after working as a partner with Pinnock, Robbins, Posey and Richins P.C., and coming into the fold after the two firms merged in 2018. With a bachelor’s degree in accounting from the University of Utah and a master’s degree in professional accountancy from Weber State University, Barlow has specialized in auditing throughout his career but will see an expanded scope in his new position.

“The most visible role Dave and I will play is simply being in the office and interacting with as many people as we can across the office day-to-day,” Barlow said. “At every level, we’ll be available so that everyone will feel heard and have the opportunity to express concerns.”

In 2023, Squire is celebrating its 50th anniversary of providing tax management and accounting services to businesses in Utah. The firm has been consistently recognized as both one of the best places to work in the state and one of the top accounting firms in the nation.
