Jason Watson is a Senior Partner for WCG CPAs & Advisors, a progressive tax, accounting and consultation firm located in Colorado Springs, Colorado. He 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.

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 (for elegance and efficiency), S Corp vs LLC concepts, self-employment taxes, health insurance issues and retirement planning. He is quick to point out that while 70% of all situations can be covered with the basics, every business and person is truly unique. One of his Jason-isms is “every house has four walls and a roof, but inside, the things that are personal to you, are different than your neighbor’s.”

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 on LLCs and S Corporations can be labeled as shameless self-promotion, it truly came from Jason’s heart to help small business owners everywhere. And No! He doesn’t unnecessarily complicate things; while complication is great cocktail party fodder, most often it is the illusion of precision.

Other than sharing a beer with other Colorado Springs CPAs and drooling on the latest IRS Publication, Jason likes dirt biking, boating in Wisconsin, watching the Packers own the Bears (it never gets old), and running trails in Colorado.

Lastly and most importantly, he is a father of three mostly good adult children and is married to WCG’s founder and Senior Partner, Tina Watson, CPA.
