Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all.

— Dale Carnegie

Jordan is a CPA with over 15 years of experience serving a wide range of clients across many industries and is a Principal at Dark Horse. Jordan is passionate about helping individuals and businesses understand their tax scenarios and providing them with comprehensive planning to help minimize their taxes and maximize their financial options.

Like a proper Dark Horse, Jordan’s journey to becoming a prominent CPA was untraditional and unexpected. It is a journey marked by grit and determination. Originally obtaining a degree in finance, he obtained a job where he was tangentially exposed to tax return preparation. Hungry for more experience, he took a seasonal tax job with a 1.5-hour commute. Being offered a full-time position, he began the journey of juggling a demanding work schedule, night classes, studying for the CPA exam and being Super Dad. Through hard work and determination, he has built a successful career for himself as a CPA.

Jordan lives in Houston with his wife, Julie, and their four children, Lahna (16), Llewyn (6), Langston (2), and Lyle (1). Not by choice but rather by force, his wife also introduced three dogs into the family; a Golden Retriever named Stewie, an overly puffy Pomeranian, Luna, and an old and disgruntled Chihuahua, BooBoo. Admittedly, Jordan is enormously thankful for his wife’s persistence in this matter.

When not accounting, Jordan enjoys tinkering around in his garage with a cold adult beverage, riding bikes, playing t-ball and the occasional home renovation and flip.

Dark Horse brings together the personal relationship you get with a small, local CPA firm with the resources of large, national firm. Having that local presence is important for my clients, but being able to leverage the expertise from CPAs all over the USA is where a lot of the value comes from. Dark Horse has a unique model, capturing the best in the industry to service clients directly. In my career, I found that the personal relationship with your CPA is the most important aspect of what we provide, that is what drew me to Dark Horse originally and what continues to keep me here.

Tax Strategy & Accounting Solutions for Houston Businesses

The Problem: Many Houston business owners lack timely financial data or the strategic tax guidance needed to make confident decisions. While Texas’s lack of state income tax simplifies some areas, businesses must still manage federal obligations, payroll, sales tax, and quarterly estimated tax payments. Without proactive planning, it’s easy to miss savings and expose your business to risk.

The Solution: At Dark Horse CPAs, we combine bookkeeping, tax compliance, and Fractional CFO-level advisory for Houston businesses. From staying ahead on quarterly estimated taxes and IRS compliance to providing cash flow forecasting, financial reporting, and growth strategies, we deliver the clarity you need to make tax-smart, growth-focused decisions. With our Advisory-First approach, you gain a proactive partner committed to your success in Houston’s dynamic economy.

Tax Strategy & Compliance for Houston Locals

The Problem: Too often, Houston residents only think about taxes at filing time—leading to surprises, missed deductions, or overlooked strategies that could have reduced liability. While Texas has no state income tax, individuals must still navigate federal compliance, real estate planning, and investment-related tax strategies to preserve wealth and stay ahead.

The Solution: At Dark Horse CPAs, we believe in No Surprises. We work proactively with Houston individuals and families year-round to implement tax-saving and deferral strategies, manage real estate and investment planning, and ensure compliance with federal requirements. Every engagement includes forward-looking tax planning designed to help you keep more of what you earn and plan with confidence.
