Harry Shurek

Harry Shurek

In 2009 I started my first public accounting firm, Shurek Accounting & Tax, operating out of my bonus room upstairs and meeting clients at their homes and local Starbucks. In 2012, after picking up my first 250 or so clients, I opened my first office, hired my first employee and began to grow my practice.

Through advertising, networking and referrals, I picked up an average of 100 clients per year, consisting of a good mixture of small-to-medium sized businesses as well as individual tax clients, and had accumulated around 800 clients by my eighth year. In 2015, I started doing work for clients in the cannabis industry in various states, and after accumulating a few clients, in 2016, I created my new company, MCA Accounting Solutions/ MyCannabisAccountant.com.

After working in the cannabis space for a few years and learning of the true need of good accountants to help businesses stay in compliance, In January of 2018, I sold over 600 of my initial clients to another local accountant and shifted most of my main practice focus to cannabis accounting.

For almost the last decade, we have helped clients that own dispensaries, cultivations, processing facilities and ancillary service providers in almost every state that there is a legal cannabis program – working with over 100 licensees in most legal states.

In 2017, I was introduced to the crypto world by several clients that were involved in different aspects and activities. Since then, I have been heavily involved in mining, trading, Defi, NFTs and we have been doing accounting and taxes for clients in the space for the past several years. Seeing another niche market with a significant need, I officially formed The Crypto Accountant in 2021 to help the crypto community not only to be able to accurately represent their crypto gains and losses for tax return purposes, but also to allow for proactive and strategic tax planning based around their crypto portfolios and activities.

After working with over 1,000+ companies and individuals spanning just about every industry there is, I have developed a true understanding of not only the cannabis and cryptocurrency industries, but also the struggles and challenges it takes for businesses to survive and compete in the dynamic business environments of today. As a fellow entrepreneur, I also understand the hustle and dedication it takes to run a business, and the extra efforts it takes to do so successfully.

Lachlan Young

Lachlan Young

When I'm not taking long walks on the beach or pursuing some ridiculous side project with the excuse of 'learning a new skillset, you'll find me 9-5 overselling my skills and thriving under the pressure at Tanda. I'm a self taught programmer who has a degree in game development and included in my skillset is the ability to not take myself to seriously. I got my start creating a White Label API for a company called Fabric and programming quickly became my full time hobby.

For the last two years I have been fortunate enough to find myself on a multitude of different projects including computational pointcloud calculations with C++, web development with Polymer, Full Stack React development a GraphQL React native app and finally putting it all together I work with React, NodeJs, Ruby, GraphQL and more.

The saying goes "find something you love and do it on the weekends". I found that out after I found full time employment and I am the living embodiment that one size does not fit all.

I'm at a stage in my 'journey' if you will, where I am looking to give back whilst the beginning is still fresh. If I can help you with that at all, please don't hesitate to reach out.

Marquise Dennis

Marquise is a hair stylist with 20 plus years of experience in braiding, extension hairstyling, and natural hair care. After a sudden house fire in 2016 Marquise was forced to relocate to another state leaving her devoted clientele of years behind. As a mother she needed an immediate income with a flexible schedule. She found a local blowout salon that was hiring, but with no previous blowout experience she was hesitant to apply. After a mediocre training session from the salon Marquise knew her level of excellence in blowouts would have to come from within. With lots of practice, dedication, and a bucket of tears she mastered this timeless technique. Because Marquise stayed focused and never gave up, she earned a salon position in management where she began teaching others how to perform fabulous blowouts, that even furthered her love for hairstyling. Marquise has had the pleasure of working on celebrity photo shoots, being lead stylist at industry based pop up shops, as well as worked on major red carpet events such as: The Country Music Awards, Telemundo Awards, Latin Music Awards, J. LO x Guess photo shoot, and numerous wedding and formal events on the infamous Las Vegas Strip.
