Accounting and tax firm Dark Horse CPAs has appointed Jim Fisher as an accelerator within its “Principal Accelerator Program”.

Fisher has been in the public accounting space for two decades, with a focus on tax compliance, advisory, and resolution services for small businesses and affluent individuals.

He has expertise with regional and local accounting firms.

Fisher said: “It was a clear fit from my perspective. With the resources at my finger-tips and the collaborative community at the firm, I know I’ll be here for the long-term as will my clients as I’m able to continually provide them with greater value. Helping my clients understand their taxes and navigate them more easily and strategically is both fulfilling and rewarding for me.”

Dark Horse’s Principal Accelerator Program is designed for entrepreneurial CPAs aiming to grow a scalable business. It provides resources, support, and technology to help CPAs become trusted advisors to their clients.

The programme also offers sales training and one-on-one coaching for accelerators.

Upon completing the training, accelerators will start building their client base, supported by full-time and fractional professional personnel.

They benefit from a collaborative environment where experienced CPAs assist in areas of lesser expertise. The programme’s aim is to maintain “high quality”, “strategically focused” work, leading to the opportunity to become an equity principal.

Dark Horse CPAs CEO and co-founder Chase Birky said: “On one hand, he [Jim Fisher] was exhausted and disenchanted with what was in the rear view mirror and on the other hand was energised and enchanted with the possibilities he saw within a new operating system here at Dark Horse.”

In September 2024, Dark Horse CPAs expanded into the Wyoming market by joining forces with Gary Wantulok’s practice.

Gary Wantulok has over a decade of experience in serving small businesses, entrepreneurs and high net worth individuals with tax and accounting services.
