Ink’d Infinity
Two years after establishing Ink’d Infinity LLC, owner Marlana Soules relocated the business on July 16 to 1728 S. Luster Ave., Ste. 1728. Soules said she previously rented office space from Counter Negative Recovery and Wellness LLC at 3800 S. Fremont Ave. Declining to disclose relocation costs, Soules said she signed a five-year lease for an undisclosed rate with TelComm Credit Union. The credit union opened its 32,000-square-foot operations center in 2024 and houses staff on the second floor with space available for rent on the first floor. In her 545-square-foot studio, Soules said she specializes in permanent makeup for eyebrows, eyeliner and lip blush. Ink’d Infinity also offers laser services for tattoo and hair removal, skin tightening and contouring, as well as microchanneling for skin to reduce fine lines, wrinkles and hyperpigmentation and hair microchanneling to address hair loss. Soules said she offers free consultations for all services.

Whitlock
Accounting firm Whitlock relocated Dec. 1 to a new home on the east side of Springfield at 3810 E. Sunshine St. CEO Josh Beaird classified the move as part of a modernization effort that includes new branding that rolled out in October. He said the 40-year-old company is now doing business as Whitlock rather than The Whitlock Co. The firm is leasing roughly 8,500 square feet in an office building developed by Rita Baron’s Raga Properties LLC, Beaird said, after moving from 3271 E. Battlefield Road, Ste. 300. He declined to disclose lease terms and moving expenses. Whitlock ranked No. 6 on Springfield Business Journal’s 2025 list of the area’s largest CPA firms. Founded in 1985, the company reported 11 CPAs, eight partners and 27 total staff members for the list published Sept. 1. Beaird said Whitlock’s Springfield office is now up to 35 employees, and the company additionally has locations in Kansas City and Joplin.

Gold Mountain Communications
Gold Mountain Communications LLC, an inbound/outbound call center and service agency based in Springfield at 1701 W. Sunshine St., Ste. K, was recently acquired by an international company. Chicago-based process outsourcing company Hugo Inc. closed Dec. 11 on the purchase, said Ian McGuire, chief operating officer and co-owner of the Springfield business with founder Hank Seevers. The financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. McGuire, who remains COO and a minority stake owner along with Seevers, said the acquisition came about after Gold Mountain began exploring growth initiatives in 2024. Kirill Pesterev, chief corporate development officer at Hugo, said the intention in the short term is to keep the Gold Mountain Communications name intact as a subsidiary of Hugo. Seevers, who remains involved in Gold Mountain as a strategic adviser, launched the company in 2009. McGuire said the company now employs 375 – who all stayed on board – and this year recorded roughly 2.5 million total calls.
