Mark started college to become an architect, however, after some business classes, he fell in love with the challenges that running a business presents. Mark graduated college with a Bachelor of Commerce degree in 2010 and became a CPA in 2013. After spending five years at one of the big four firms, Ernst + Young, Mark joined a small manufacturing company to run the financial and operations department of an oil and gas services company. In 2017, Mark, with his family, moved across the country, prompted by his entrepreneurial fervor. He launched an entirely online CPA firm, servicing clients from coast to coast in over a dozen different industries.
In 2021, Mark decided to sell his online firm four years after starting it from scratch, earning a valuation 50% above industry standards. He then started a new venture to help other CPAs grow their firms, streamline their workload, and sell for a premium.
Through his CPA Firm Accelerator agency, Mark helps CPAs leverage technology to increase firm efficiency and profitability. He has combined his love of process improvement and technology to help other CPA and Bookkeeping firms create an incredible experience for their clients. Mark lives on a farm with his partner and they have three young daughters. He enjoys running, skiing, staying active, and helping CPAs regain their FREEDOM.
