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.
