Home / About
Twenty eight years in the seat most accountants never sit in.
James “Nate” Thorne, EA, CF-L1 has run the finance function inside real operating companies, from first hire start ups to multi million dollar corporations. That experience is what sits behind every strategy we build for you.
Meet your CFO
Built from experience. Designed for what comes next.
Nate has served as Chief Financial Officer, Division Controller, International Controller and Accounting Manager across companies at very different stages of growth. He has closed books under pressure, guided companies through diligence, built reporting for lenders and buyers, and seen firsthand how often significant tax opportunities are missed simply because no one is looking at the entire picture.
NTG Tax Strategies exists to close that gap.
Most people have someone who prepares their taxes. Far fewer have an advisor who looks ahead, understands the business and personal picture, identifies the opportunities, and stays involved long enough to put the strategy into action.
A clear path from strategy to execution
Every client moves through four intentional stages. You know where you are, what each stage involves and what comes next: from the initial consultation to a comprehensive assessment, a personalized results meeting and, for clients who continue with us, twelve months of strategy and execution.
We are direct about what applies to your situation and what does not. If a deeper assessment is not likely to deliver meaningful value, we will tell you at the beginning.
