LOUISVILLE, Ky. (PRWEB) July 06, 2021 - Dark Horse CPAs, a top accounting and tax firm serving small businesses and individuals across the nation, announces the hiring of Clark Watts, CPA as an Accelerator in the firms Principal Accelerator Program. Watts experience with small to medium-sized businesses (and their owners) in the areas of tax and accounting, as well as ahead-of-his-years soft skills earned him a seat in Dark Horses Principal Accelerator Program.

Clark earned a degree in accounting from Transylvania University along with a CPA license in the state of Kentucky. He spent 4 tax seasons with a mid-sized, regional CPA firm where he provided accounting and tax support to a wide range of individuals and entities. Seeking the ability to exercise a higher level of control over his career and autonomy in his work, while partnering with clients to achieve elevated outcomes made the decision to join Dark Horse a natural one.

When asked what made the Accelerator Program compelling, he responded, Since my public accounting career began, Ive had a desire to create my own firm and work closely with small business clients to assist them with all of their tax and financial challenges and opportunities. Clark realized he could build his own book of business and leverage the resources, training and coaching that Dark Horse provides to make that dream a reality. This couldnt have been a better fit with where I wanted to go career-wise. To have the right balance of autonomy and support is a game changer for me, explained Watts.

Clark has a very methodical and surgical way of practicing, says Chase Birky, CEO and co-founder of Dark Horse CPAs. Where some might get caught up in the social expectations of the conversation, Clark keeps his focus on the topic at-hand and delivers thorough explanations and highly valuable insights that make you stop and say, wow, that actually makes a lot of sense. So, needless to say, were beyond excited to introduce new and prospective clients to Clark.
