We’re proud to share exciting news: Maria V. Huja has been named Managing Partner.
Maria’s journey with Claremont began in 2009. From her early days as a dedicated team member, she has grown into a driving force behind our firm’s success. That same year, she graduated with Honors from DePaul University and earned her Enrolled Agent designation—marking the beginning of what has become an extraordinary career in tax and accounting. In 2018, Maria became a Partner, and today, we are proud to welcome her as our new Managing Partner.
Throughout her career, Maria has exemplified technical excellence and a deep commitment to our clients. She is an Advanced Certified QuickBooks ProAdvisor and a National Tax Practice Institute (NTPI) Fellow. Her leadership, insight, and unwavering dedication has played a key role in shaping Claremont’s continued growth. As Managing Partner, Maria will lead the firm’s strategic direction and client service initiatives—ensuring we continue to provide the exceptional support and expertise our clients count on.
“This milestone means a great deal to me—both professionally and personally. I’m especially grateful to my family for their unwavering support—my husband Marcel, and our two boys, Nathan (9) and Tudor (6). Their encouragement has been a constant source of strength throughout my journey. I also want to thank John for the trust and confidence he’s placed in me over the years, and for giving me the space to grow, lead, and carry forward the firm he built with such care. I’m proud to take this next step as Managing Partner and look forward to continuing to serve our clients with the same dedication and heart that has always defined Claremont.” — Maria V. Huja, EA, NTPI Fellow
