Accounting Rigor. Real Market Experience.

Advisory built on 15+ years inside the markets — SEC reporting, derivatives, digital assets, and transaction readiness.

Capital Markets Advisory

Where accounting rigor meets real market experience. Advisory services built on actual capital markets participation — not just textbook knowledge.

A CPA Who Speaks Your Language

Most CPAs view capital markets through a purely academic lens. Kurt Simmons brings a rare combination of Top 10 firm audit experience alongside a deep capital markets background and active participation in derivatives, futures, and digital asset markets.

This means when you're navigating complex financial instruments — options strategies, futures contracts, or Section 1256 elections — you're working with an advisor who understands the mechanics from the inside.
