About Chad

My background combines small business & individual tax expertise with corporate investment and operational accounting at Amazon.

I received a degree in accounting from Florida State, and later, a Master's in accounting from the University of Washington. Over the course of a decade in the field, I worked directly with individuals and business owners on complex tax returns, business valuations, and resolving tax notices with the IRS and state agencies. Later, at Amazon, I focused on private company investment accounting, valuation modeling, and building automations to simplify operational work.

​I started this practice to bring a combination of deep tax knowledge and technical efficiency to small businesses and individuals. When you work with me, you'll get someone who understands modern, cloud-based tools available to simplify your accounting, streamline compliance, and help you move forward financially with confidence.

Outside of work, I enjoy swimming, backpacking, golf, the Jacksonville Jaguars, Waffle House All-Star Specials, sporting a mustache, and time with family & friends.
