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.

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.

JORDAN KELLER, PRINCIPAL
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.
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.
JORDAN KELLER, PRINCIPAL
"A business needs to understand their numbers. Engaging a CPA provides insight and knowledge in critical areas of your business. Too often, business owners and entrepreneurs are not benefiting from these insights. I like to educate my clients to ensure they are as successful as possible and continue to provide for themselves, their families and their community. I partner with my clients to ensure their best interests are always taken care of, which is something that every business needs."
Tax Services for People.
The Problem: taxpayers are not getting the service they deserve from their CPA. Most CPA firms rush through their clients' tax returns, do not properly explain the return, provide no recommendations on how to reduce their taxes and are generally unavailable or unhelpful outside of tax season.
JORDAN KELLER, PRINCIPAL
“One element that I always ensure my clients understand is what their tax burden may be throughout the year. This is done through estimating tax payments early and often. That type of transparency goes a long way in their personal tax planning. More importantly, being pro-active in their tax planning gives us the opportunity to make an impact before the year is over. It is much harder to retroactively attempt to improve someone's tax situation once the year is closed out, so being available for my clients throughout the year ends up creating a substantial positive impact.”

I have used James Larsen as my CPA for many years and am confident in his work ethic and tax knowledge.
