VisionFirst Advisors bolsters its position as a leader in location advisory and tax incentive negotiation
VisionFirst Advisors (VFA), a premier economic development consulting firm specializing in location advisory, labor and market intelligence and strategy, is proud to announce the addition of Minah Hall and Jennifer Carroll to its team. This partnership follows the merger of Compass Key Site Solutions into VisionFirst Advisors, further enhancing VFA’s tax and incentive capabilities and solidifying its leadership in the location advisory and site selection market.
“We are thrilled to welcome Minah and Jennifer to the VisionFirst Advisors team,” said Gray Swoope, President and CEO of VisionFirst Advisors. “This partnership brings together the total package for any business looking to relocate or expand. Our team includes former economic development state leaders, a world class CPA and leading tax attorneys. You just can’t find that level of expertise at any other boutique consulting firm.”
With a combined 40 years of exceptional experience, Minah and Jennifer bring unparalleled expertise in negotiating high-stakes tax incentives, driving transformative site selection strategies, and creating long-term value for companies at every stage of development. Their background in corporate relocations and expansions stretches across every major industry including food manufacturing, pharmaceuticals and logistics, making them a perfect fit to strengthen VFA’s already top tier location advisory services.
Minah Hall, a recognized leader in the field of tax credits and incentives, joins VFA after more than two decades of delivering strategic site selection and incentive negotiation services to some of the largest corporations in the world. As a former partner at two top tax firms, Minah’s extensive knowledge of complex tax laws and incentive programs has been instrumental in securing billions of dollars in tax savings for her clients. Jennifer Carroll brings more than 15 years of experience in negotiating state and local tax incentives. Her expertise in navigating complex tax statutes, coupled with her hands-on experience creating complex cost models and in negotiating and securing business incentives, promises innovative, high-impact solutions for clients nationwide.
Both Minah and Jennifer have worked with the VisionFirst team in the past and are familiar with the firm’s culture, mission, and commitment to delivering impactful, results-driven solutions.
“VisionFirst offers clients the strength of a large, global firm with the hands-on approach of a boutique firm,” said Minah Hall. “There are no cookie cutter solutions at VisionFirst, and that dedication to high-quality customer service is what we admire about the team’s work ethic. We are excited to join the VisionFirst team and continue to set the standard for excellence in economic development strategy, location advisory as well as tax and incentive consulting."
The addition of Minah and Jennifer significantly strengthens VisionFirst’s national footprint, adding Chicago, Illinois and Dallas, Texas to the firm’s office locations. Together, they will build on VisionFirst’s proven track record, including securing over $20 billion in investment and creating tens of thousands of jobs across the U.S.
