“Helping clients make confident tax decisions without the fear of missing deductions or strategies.”

Jason Watson is the CEO and Partner of WCG, where he focuses on guiding the firm’s strategic vision and supporting long-term, sustainable growth. With decades of experience and a deep understanding of small business dynamics, Jason works to ensure the firm continues to evolve while delivering practical, high-level guidance clients can rely on. 

Professional Background & Expertise

As CEO, Jason is responsible for shaping WCG’s direction, strengthening internal processes, and investing in the people who serve clients every day. His leadership centers on intentional growth—building a firm that operates efficiently while maintaining the high standards clients expect. 

Jason especially enjoys working with traditional small business owners who built their companies from the ground up, as well as real estate investors and rental property owners. He brings a practical perspective to these relationships, grounded in real-world business experience and strategic thinking. 

Education & Credentials

Jason earned both his bachelor’s and master’s degrees in business from the University of Wisconsin. His academic experience included a wide range of electives, with scuba diving and welding among the more memorable—an early reflection of his curiosity and hands-on mindset. 

He is affiliated with the National Association of Certified Valuators and Analysts (NACVA) and holds the Certified Valuation Analyst (CVA) credential, recognizing his expertise in business valuation and financial advisory services across litigation, tax, and transaction environments. 

Client-Focused Philosophy

Jason takes a direct, no-nonsense approach grounded in clear communication and practical advice. He works best with clients who value sound strategy and informed decision-making, emphasizing approaches that are sustainable, defensible, and built for long-term success rather than short-term positioning.

Professional Values

  • Accuracy and defensibility
  • Long-term strategic thinking
  • Practical, real-world guidance
  • Work that stands on its own 

Life Beyond the Office

Jason grew up in Madison, Wisconsin, where much of his childhood was spent outdoors dirt biking and exploring. Today, he continues to enjoy staying active, exercising, and spending time outside whenever possible. 

More recently, he has taken up the craft of making custom knives, designing handles and fitting prefabricated blades—a hobby that reflects both precision and creativity. He is married with three adult children, one currently in college, and shares his home with the family cat. 

A Builder at Heart

Jason’s professional path was influenced early by his interest in small business and by helping his father with his own company. When he met his wife, Tina, and learned of her goal to own an accounting practice, he immediately embraced the vision. That same builder’s mindset continues to shape how he leads WCG today—focused on thoughtful growth, strong foundations, and lasting impact.

Jason Watson, CPA, is a Senior Partner of WCG CPAs & Advisors, a boutique yet progressive tax, accounting and business consultation firm located in Colorado serving small business owners and taxpayers worldwide.

Our Amazing Team Members

Wanna Talk About Your Small Business?

Please use the form below to tell us a little about yourself, and what you have going on with your small business or 1099 contractor gig. WCG CPAs & Advisors are small business CPAs, tax professionals and consultants, and we look forward to talking to you!

We typically schedule a 20-minute complimentary quick chat with one of our Partners or Senior Tax Professionals to determine if we are a good fit for each other, and how an engagement with our team looks. Tax returns only? Business advisory? Tax prep, and more importantly tax strategy and planning?

Should we need to schedule an additional consultation, our fee is $250 for 40 minutes. Fun! If we decide to press forward with a Business Advisory or Tax Patrol Services engagement, we will credit the consultation fee towards those services.

Appointments are typically held through Microsoft Teams and are scheduled on weekdays during the work day. Yes, we can easily accommodate nights and weekends, but those are reluctantly agreed to after some eye-rolling and complaining. Additionally, our schedules are more compressed during tax season (who would have thought, right?).

Shockingly we will return all appointment requests via email with 24-36 hours weather-permitting, or perhaps a phone call (if the moment strikes us). No black holes here! In a hurry, please call us at 719-387-9800.
