If you ask Mark Horst, CPA, about his job at Rackers and Fernandez, his first response isn’t about the many years of experience he brings to the table, tax consulting, review, compliance, quality control, financial reporting, or even making sense of highly complicated tax situations. While all of those things are incredibly important and true of Mark’s skill, his first response will always revolve around helping people – supporting them to understand difficult tax and financial concepts, saving them money through effective tax planning, and seeing the happiness that results from this service. His expertise lies in serving small businesses, individuals, and providing consulting services. Prior to joining Rackers and Fernandez, Mark served as a partner and senior accountant at other St. Louis area CPA firms. He earned a BS in accounting from Lindenwood University and is a member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, the Missouri Society of Certified Public Accountants, and a former member of BNI. He has also served as treasurer for Friends of the Wentzville Parks. In his spare time, Mark lives an active life in which he enjoys running, riding bikes, playing sports with his kids, golf, tennis, camping, Cardinal Baseball, home improvement projects, and rocking out to U2, Maroon 5, and Classic Rock.
