About Chase Watson

I am an accounting professional currently working in tax at RSM, where I prepare and review complex S-corporation and partnership returns, primarily for real estate–focused portfolios and ultra-high-net-worth individuals. My background includes extensive hands-on experience with QuickBooks and analytical accounting from my time at JFDI Accountants, where I supported crypto-native companies through digital asset reconciliation, intercompany reporting, and MSA billing. I have passed all four sections of the CPA exam and will be licensed upon completion of experience requirements. My career focus is on bridging emerging financial technologies with rigorous tax compliance and advisory, helping sophisticated clients navigate complex structures and an evolving regulatory landscape.
