TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (PRWEB) August 20, 2021 - Dark Horse CPAs, a top accounting and tax firm serving small businesses and individuals across the nation, announces the hiring of Susan Snowden, CPA as an Accelerator in the firms Principal Accelerator Program. Snowdens extensive audit, accounting and finance experience combined with a passion for serving entrepreneurs and small businesses made her the perfect fit to be Dark Horses next Accelerator. In her new role, she aims to equip small businesses with deep insights into the financial performance of their business and help them create strategic financial plans to help grow their businesses and increase profitability.

Susan earned a degree in accounting from Clemson University in 1995 and earned her CPA license in 1998. Her first 18 years of her career were mainly dedicated to financial statement audits, both on the internal and external side. She then transitioned into a role that would eventually see her as the CFO for the City of Tuscaloosa, where she spent the last 6 years.??Having spent her career mostly working with larger organizations, she decided she wanted to utilize her skillset to serve small businesses whom she had found were chronically underserved. She happened upon Dark Horse CPAs while looking to see if the same name was available for her own practice. After realizing how aligned Dark Horses mission was with her own, joining the firm was a natural next step.

Speaking of her passion in serving others with her accounting expertise, she explained, I enjoy getting to know people and helping them gain insight into their business finances, which is an area that causes most entrepreneurs high levels of anxiety and stress. Once were able to see the business for what it is, we can then work together towards measurable, strategic initiatives. The reward, for me, is celebrating their success.

When asked why she chose Dark Horse, Snowden said, It was clear from the beginning that Dark Horse is made up of highly skilled, driven and compassionate people. I was looking for an environment where I could collaborate with others while building my book of business. The flexibility Dark Horse offers allows me to customize the service I provide to each client, based on their individual needs, while achieving the goals I have in my personal life.

If you dont enjoy your conversation with Susan, the problem isnt with herits with you. Susan brings a unique energy and extroversion not seen in many accountants that makes collaboration seamless, says Chase Birky, CEO and co-founder of Dark Horse CPAs. Combining that with deep experience in the financial accounting field makes her an indispensable advisor to her clients; one that truly drives positive change and results.
