Jason Watson is the Managing Member for the Watson CPA Group, a Colorado Springs tax, accounting and consultation firm. His main focus as Managing Member is small business consultation, and financial, investment and estate planning. Jason has owned two small businesses in the past and holds both a Bachelor's and Master's in Business Administration from the University of Wisconsin - Madison. He also became an Enrolled Agent with the IRS in 2013 and passed the Series 7 General Securities test in 2015. Note, he is a not a CPA. During college he migrated towards finance, economics and statistics, and not towards accounting. However, he obtained 15 more credits in accounting, and is trying to knock the CPA exam out by spring of 2018. Three parts down. One to go. Aside from carrying the one in accounting class, his desire is speaking with small business owners and creating a dynamic map for the future. Jason enjoys talking about business planning, corporate structures, self-employment taxes, health insurance issues and retirement planning. He is quick to point out that while 70% of the all situations can be covered with the basics, every business and person is truly unique. Ask a question and have a dry erase board handy, and you'll see the true passion of a person who not only wants to educate but also wants to see small business owners thrive. While this book is on LLCs and S Corporations can be labeled as shameless self-promotion, at the same time it truly came from Jason's heart to help small business owners everywhere. Jason is also a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst and business valuator, and offers mediation support for divorcing couples as a financial expert witness. While not speaking to a group of business owners, chatting it up with Colorado Springs CPAs or reading the latest thrilling IRS Publication, Jason likes dirt biking, boating in Wisconsin, watching the Packers beat the Bears (it never gets old), and running trails in Colorado. He used to also be a pilot for SkyWest Airlines, a United Express airline, but resigned in March 2015 to focus on small business owners and financial planning. This seems like an odd dichotomy, being an airline pilot and a small business consultant, but it is what it is. Lastly and most importantly, he is a father of three numbskulls (Brendan, Corinne and AJ) and married to the Watson CPA Group's founder and Senior Partner, Tina Watson, CPA. See less
