HUNTER SCOTT

Job Titles:
  • PARTNER
  • PARTNER / Crystal Lake, IL
Hunter has had one dream his entire life: to give business owners a quality accounting experience! This dream led him to endure the grueling life of a public accountant after college. He earned his CPA, learned the ins and outs of many industries, completed audits, completed business valuations, and so much more! However, he found that the standard public accountant experience still fell short of what business owners deserve. So he packed up his things and moved across the country to Austin, Texas to continue pursuing the dream. He joined a fintech company that sought to automate accounting, but eventually learned that technology couldn't solve everything; there has to be a balance between technology and accounting professionals passionate about the customer. As a result, he would like to welcome you to an accounting experience that is out of this world, Strata Cloud Accountants. In his free time, Hunter enjoys spending time with his beautiful wife and daughter, running marathons and going on long road trips in their camper van. It is also not hard to convince him to meet up for a drink so don't be shy!
