Meet the Owner

Hunter Brown, CPA

Hunter grew up around business, a family of entrepreneurs, accountants, and advisors, where strategy was dinner-table talk. He started his first venture at 14, competed as a professional wakeboarder, then earned a degree in International Business from Florida Southern College and spent nearly a decade as an executive across U.S. and international markets.

Drawn back to the work behind every thriving company, he returned to school for accounting and became a licensed CPA in 2014. Two years later he took the helm of his father's long-established practice, keeping its personal, client-first feel while growing what it could do.

Today, Hunter helps owners across the country with tax strategy, valuations, and growth. He's fluent in EBITDA, cash flow, and capital structure, but just as focused on the people and goals behind the numbers. In his spare time, he's working toward his private pilot's license.
