One indicator of a growing local economy is the expansion of businesses that benefit directly from that growth. One of those is the business accounting and consulting firm of James Moore. On October 2, the company officially opened a much larger Tallahassee headquarters on Centre Pointe Boulevard. James Moore CEO Suzanne Forbes said the steady growth of clients in the city and beyond made a much bigger office necessary.
"We work with a lot of non-profits and governments and small/large business owners in different industries. And this is our commitment to be here and continue to grow and support this community."
The firm occupies the entire 12,000 square foot second floor of the building at 1983 Centre Pointe Boulevard. Moore's Tallahassee office now has a staff of nearly 50. Forbes said all of those employees are focused on providing services that help the firm's clients become more successful.
"I love helping organizations and clients. I'm very passionate. Economic development is in my blood. I love it! I think we want a good community to live in and grow in and Tallahassee is it for us."
Including Tallahassee, Moore has 5 offices in Florida. Plans are to eventually expand across the Southeast.
