It’s an unfortunate fact that the number of CPAs is not growing with the current demand for CPAs, which directly contributes to firms overworking their staff and managers. This overworking isn’t sustainable, as it will continue to drive CPAs out of the public accounting industry. Dark Horse CPA provides a model that allows a CPA the flexibility to choose the number and the type of client. This freedom allows for a more manageable and fulfilling CPA experience.
Accounting Solutions for Businesses.
The Problem: Business owners aren't getting timely, accurate and actionable data from their financials. Even worse, they're not receiving tax planning advice from their, "tax pro," which is costing them untold amounts of money. This is just plain wrong. We believe you deserve a better small business accounting firm.

"Most taxpayers never experience the benefits of having a Tax Strategist on their side. I aim to change that. Providing immediate value through tax reduction and deferral strategies is a key reason I became a CPA."
