    TAMPA, FL and MARCO ISLAND, FL \u2014 August 6, 2026 \u2014 <\/b>Heroic Solutions CPA (heroic.cpa), a<\/p>\n

    Kentucky & Florida-based collective of accounting, tax, and financial advisory firms built around the belief<\/p>\n

    its growing network of partner firms, effective August 1, 2026. Financial terms of the transaction were not<\/p>\n

    disclosed.<\/p>\n

    Craig Couture, CPA PA has served individuals and businesses on Florida’s Gulf Coast for years, earning a<\/p>\n

    reputation as a preeminent advisor in tax planning, business succession planning, and Florida domicile<\/p>\n

    strategy \u2014 a specialty increasingly in demand as high-net-worth individuals and business owners relocate to<\/p>\n

    Florida. The firm’s practice spans personal financial planning, retirement and estate planning, wealth<\/p>\n

    management, business succession and financial planning, comprehensive tax preparation and planning for<\/p>\n

    individuals and businesses, IRS tax relief and audit representation, and QuickBooks advisory services, with<\/p>\n

    deep experience serving the real estate industry, dentists, healthcare providers, law firms, and manufacturers.<\/p>\n

    The integration adds a third Florida-licensed practice to Heroic’s network, joining Milbrod & Hessel, CPA<\/p>\n

    multi-state taxation, business funding and liquidity solutions, and assurance services. Both firms share a client<\/p>\n

    range of advisory, tax, and succession-planning support as they grow, transition, or relocate their businesses.<\/p>\n

    \u201cCraig has built exactly the kind of practice we look for \u2014 one rooted in professionalism, responsiveness, and<\/p>\n

    genuine care for clients,\u201d said Ian Hessel, CPA, Founder and CEO of Heroic Solutions CPA. \u201cEntrepreneurs<\/p>\n

    and business owners are the heroes of our economy, and as more of them look to Florida for tax and<\/p>\n

    succession planning, Craig’s expertise makes our network stronger and gives his clients access to resources \u2014<\/p>\n

    from multi-state tax planning to assurance services \u2014 that will serve them well for years to come. We’re<\/p>\n

    proud to welcome him and his team into the Heroic family.\u201d<\/p>\n

    \u201cWhat drew me to Heroic Solutions CPA was the shared philosophy \u2014 that our job is to give clients one less<\/p>\n

    thing to worry about, so they can focus on building their businesses and their futures,\u201d said Craig Couture,<\/p>\n

    CPA. \u201cJoining this network means my clients keep the same personal relationship and local service they’ve<\/p>\n

    always counted on, while gaining access to a much broader bench of resources: assurance services, multi-state<\/p>\n

    tax expertise, and a team that shares our commitment to quality. I’m excited about what we can now offer<\/p>\n

    together.\u201dClients of Craig Couture, CPA PA will continue to work with the same local team they know. Jason, Jill,<\/p>\n

    Carol, and Colton will remain in place and will continue to be led day-to-day by Craig, now backed by the<\/p>\n

    expanded resources of the Heroic Solutions CPA network. No changes to client service teams or points of<\/p>\n

    contact are expected as a result of the integration.<\/p>\n
