All roads that lead to success have to pass through hard work boulevard at some point. From a young age, growing up in the Bitterroot Valley, Levi Clarke learned the value of hard work and follow-through. He thinks of himself as a partner with his clients, working together to better understand their tax and accounting circumstances.

Building a successful business and life can be like climbing the mountains of Montana: both a challenge and a reward. While there are beautiful valleys, lakes and rivers, it often takes the sweat of conquering steep inclines, rocks and hills in order to get there. Levi uses his CPA experience, respect for hard work, ability to climb mountains and core Montana values to help his clients achieve their personal and business goals.

As a member of an entire team that sees themselves as partners and trusted advisors, Levi focuses on finding ways to empower his clients to make informed and successful business decisions. For example, a client recently wanted to get a better handle on tracking the company’s inventory and gross profits and how it relates to its taxable income. Levi and the JCCS team now check in with the client quarterly to make sure that its gross margins are accurate – information that helps company managers when they are making decisions on hiring, awarding salary raises, approving the necessary capital expenditures it needs to succeed and more.
