Hubbard Financial Services Moves to New Location
After 22 years, Hubbard Financial Services—the bookkeeping and tax firm led by Houston’s First Lady, Kathy Hubbard—left its familiar single-story brick structure at the Montrose/Westheimer crossroads and relocated a mile down the boulevard to Suite A210 of the Chelsea Market Building at 4611 Montrose. Other than the address, all other contact information will remain the same. Hubbard’s previous mid-century building, vacated on September 18, was recently acquired by Aladdin Mediterranean Cuisine. The building is also known as the site of Leadership Houston’s “This Is Houston” tile mural. New owner Ali Nahhas has no current plans to have the public art relocated.
