About Julius Vincent, CPA, MBA

I'm Julius Vincent. I started Horizon Wealth & Tax Advisors after watching the same pattern play out too many times: a physician or engineer making $400K, a rental property or two, and a CPA charging $900 to file a return that missed $40K in legitimate deductions.

​

Not because the CPA was bad. Because the CPA's business model is volume compliance, not strategy. Nobody's paying a $200/hour preparer to think about your passive loss rules in August.

​

My background is different. I'm a CPA with 17 years in corporate accounting and financial reporting, most recently as a Global FP&A Director at an NYSE-listed global company. That work taught me how publicly-traded companies think about numbers: forward-looking, documented, defensible. When I started taking my own real estate investing seriously, I realized that same discipline was almost entirely missing from how individual high earners were being served.

​

So I built Horizon Wealth & Tax Advisors around two ideas: (1) tax strategy should be planned before the year ends, not reconstructed after, and (2) every strategy we recommend should be documented well enough to survive an audit on day one.

I hold a BA in Accounting from Michigan State and an MBA from the University of Michigan's Ross School of Business.
