Although taxes change every year, what has not changed is the CPA's responsibility to be the trusted professional who enables people and organizations to shape their future. At Dark Horse, we implement this by enabling the 1-to-1 relationship from the CPA Advisor to our clients. This is different than almost every other firm today, where the CPA Advisor reserves his efforts to a few valuable clients and delegates that important relationship for many other clients to lower-level staff who may not have yet developed the breadth of competence needed to provide that level of service. It is these efforts from our CPA Advisors that makes the difference to our clients.

"While software has simplified tax preparation, it still requires a good understanding of tax law. DIY tax filing can lead to errors, missed deductions, or audits. For complex situations, a CPA can better help you achieve your financial goals, reduce taxes, and explore growth opportunities."
