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.

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.”
