Nathan Walker, CPA, MSA 

Business Tax Manager

On most tax returns, what feels risky and what is risky are two different things. Clients brace for the first and overlook the second. Nathan's work is telling them apart, and acting on the difference.

​Nathan is a Business Tax Manager at Mason + Rich, specializing in partnership taxation. He is one of a handful of accountants in New Hampshire who regularly uses the IRS's formal disclosure procedures - taking strong, defensible positions other firms avoid, and disclosing them properly so they hold up if questioned. He works closely with each client to weigh the real risk, explain it in plain terms, and settle on a position that fits their facts, circumstances, and tolerance, rather than defaulting to a caution that quietly costs them.
 
That same judgment is tested in his work as an expert witness, where he prepares reports and testimony on loss analysis for legal disputes. To make sense of the enormous datasets these cases turn on, he pairs his accounting expertise with programming in Python, SQL, and RegEx - an uncommon combination that lets him find the facts buried in the data and stand behind them under scrutiny. He has carried those same tools into his work as an outsourced controller, building custom accounting solutions for clients across industries that include timber and healthcare.
 
Nathan holds Bachelor and Master of Science degrees in Accounting from Southern New Hampshire University. He is a licensed Certified Public Accountant in New Hampshire, a member of the New Hampshire Society of Certified Public Accountants, and has passed Level I of the CFA program. He lives in Bedford with his wife and their three children. In his free time he enjoys riding mountain bike trails on his unicycle, and though you couldn’t tell by looking at him, is an aspiring amateur powerlifter.
