Kurn’s massive success recruiting and developing Accelerators and onboarding new firms to the Dark Horse Platform creates new role at Dark Horse which he fills.

DALLAS, May 31, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Dark Horse CPAs, a top accounting and tax firm serving small businesses and individuals across the nation, announces the promotion of Justin Kurn to Chief Revenue Officer. Justin has been instrumental in driving the sales and marketing initiatives at Dark Horse CPAs for the past four years as well as recruiting and developing talent for the Accelerator Program and onboarding firms on to the Dark Horse platform. His new role will see him leading the Tax, Client Accounting Services, Marketing and Sales teams to further enhance the firm’s product offerings, talent recruitment and development programs, and sales processes.

I look forward to scaling our impact with both accountants and clients in this new role as it will enable us to invest deeper into the assets that create better careers for accountants and better outcomes for clients.

Since joining Dark Horse CPAs, Justin has brought a wealth of knowledge in customer engagement and sales operations, significantly contributing to the firm’s growth and success. His strategic vision and dedication to excellence have made a lasting impact on the organization, and his leadership has been a key factor in expanding the firm’s presence in the marketplace among both clients and talent.

“I am thrilled to take on the role of Chief Revenue Officer at Dark Horse CPAs,” said Justin Kurn. “This promotion represents an exciting opportunity to build on the successes we have achieved and to continue to drive increasingly more value to our Accelerators, Principals and clients. Dark Horse believes in democratizing the industry’s leading infrastructure for accountants to build and scale their practice and translating that into unparalleled client service experiences and outcomes. I look forward to scaling our impact with both accountants and clients in this new role as it will enable us to invest deeper into the assets that create better careers for accountants and better outcomes for clients.”

In his new role as CRO, Justin will oversee the Tax, Client Accounting Services, Marketing and Sales teams, ensuring a cohesive and integrated approach to the firm’s revenue generation efforts. He will focus on developing scalable and replicable product offerings and sales processes that empower all CPAs within the firm to deliver consistent, high-quality services to clients.

“Justin can not only sell ice to an Eskimo, he can convince them to sign up for a recurring subscription for ice delivery and they would be happy they did it,” says Chase Birky, CEO & co-founder of Dark Horse CPAs. “Fortunately, he has used these powers for good and only sells what he both understands and believes in. And I think it’s this belief and passion that gets accountants to think differently about themselves, to reevaluate their preconceived notions, and ultimately step into a more integrated and authentic version of themselves. Also, not being an accountant by trade, he’s able to see things more clearly and empathetically from the perspective of a client while not getting lost in technical minutiae and helping our CPAs see and enhance the value they bring to their engagements. I’m excited to scale Justin within Dark Horse and confident this position of CRO, and the resources it will afford him, will do just that.”

About Dark Horse CPAs

Dark Horse CPAs provides integrated tax, wealth management, accounting and CFO services to small businesses, entrepreneurs and affluent individuals across the U.S. The firm believes that both accountants and small businesses are underserved. Accountants suffer from subpar employment experiences and resourcing which in turn leads to small businesses suffering from subpar accounting and tax services. These small businesses are Dark Horses among their larger and more well-known competitors. The firm believes there is no one better to advise these small businesses than CPAs who themselves are Dark Horses, having eschewed the traditional pathway to building a practice. Being a Dark Horse CPA means advocating for small businesses by bringing to them the tax strategies and accounting insights previously reserved for big business. To learn more, visit Darkhorse.cpa.

Haloid Solutions Expands Access to Radio Equipment by Offering Flexible Financing and Leasing Solutions Named HaloidFLEX

NEW YORK, April 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — As part of Haloid Solutions’ long-term commitment to helping businesses and municipalities acquire critical communications equipment despite budgetary constraints, Haloid now offers specialized financing and leasing programs through its HaloidFLEX program.

Designed to ensure that companies and governments have the equipment they need without costly capital expenditures outlays, HaloidFLEX offers financing for equipment purchased directly from manufacturers or local radio dealers. HaloidFLEX financing offers zero percent and low-interest options as well as predictable monthly payments for qualified buyers. HaloidFLEX clients can even opt to incorporate extended support services and protections into their financing to prepare for accidents, theft, or equipment losses. This gives companies peace of mind with one low monthly payment.

For organizations that don’t want or need to own equipment long-term, the HaloidFLEX leasing program offers similar benefits with potential tax advantages. Companies can lease brand new equipment and upgrade or return it at lease-end as needed. For companies seeking flexible options – or those that are interested in upgrading to the latest technology as it becomes available – leasing makes perfect sense.

One of the added benefits of each program is that HaloidFLEX allows clients to bundle services and protections that would normally be billed separately. Accidental damage, theft, and loss protections can be put in place, so that there’s never a lapse in communication if a radio fails. Extended warranties are also available upon request, so companies can customize their financing and protection to fit their budget and safeguard their equipment simultaneously.

According to a Haloid Solutions spokesperson, “Bundling expenses simply makes sense. It reduces the need for multiple policies and flexes with organizations to ensure critical communication equipment is available when needed while guaranteeing that the company’s investment is protected for the life of the equipment.”

HaloidFLEX financing and leasing programs are available to qualified businesses and municipalities nationwide. To learn more or request a customized quote, visit HaloidSolutions.com.

Haloid Solutions is the go-to resource for U.S. businesses and municipalities in search of financing and leasing for two-way radios, walkie talkies, communications equipment, accessories, and services.

Vipboss Marks Earth Day with Renewed Commitment to Green Energy Solutions

NEW YORK, April 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — As Earth Day draws global attention to environmental responsibility, Vipboss, a specialist manufacturer and developer of lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) battery packs for energy storage and mobility applications, is underscoring its long‑term commitment to sustainable energy practices through its Environmental Advocacy. This advocacy is devoid of ornate language; its inspiration stems from the brand’s unwavering conviction in LiFePO4 batteries as a green energy solution. To align this message with practical action, the brand is also running a themed sales campaign on its official website during April 18th to 30th. It highlights how practical product solutions, rather than abstract concepts, can support cleaner energy use in everyday life.

Across the world, energy consumption patterns are undergoing rapid change. Households, outdoor users, and light‑mobility sectors are increasingly seeking energy systems that are safe, sustainable, and low‑emission. Within this shift, LiFePO4 batteries have emerged as a preferred technology for clean‑energy applications. Their long service life, high safety profile, and absence of cobalt, which is an element associated with higher environmental and ethical risks, position them as a responsible choice in the global transition toward greener power.

LiFePO4 technology forms the foundation of Vipboss’s approach to sustainable energy. Its extended cycle life reduces the frequency of battery replacement, lowering resource consumption and easing the environmental burden associated with disposal. The material’s inherent stability also minimizes the risk of thermal runaway, offering a safer experience in homes, recreational vehicles, and public environments. In practical use cases such as home backup systems, RV travel, and golf‑course operations, LiFePO4 batteries deliver efficient storage and stable output, helping reduce reliance on fossil‑fuel‑based energy sources and supporting lower‑carbon lifestyles.

Vipboss’s environmental advocacy extends beyond the technical advantages of its products. The brand promotes responsible energy use as an integral part of sustainable living, emphasizing that product design and informed application must work together to achieve meaningful environmental outcomes. As a provider of energy solutions for home, travel, and leisure scenarios, Vipboss continues to participate in the long‑term process of green transformation through ongoing technological refinement and product evolution.

Earth Day serves as a reminder that lasting environmental impact is built through small, consistent actions. Looking ahead, Vipboss will continue advancing safer, more durable, and more efficient energy products that support individuals and families in adopting more sustainable energy habits. Through these efforts, the brand aims to contribute enduring value to the wider adoption of clean energy and the collective pursuit of a more sustainable future.

About Vipboss

Vipboss is a specialist in the lithium battery industry, focusing on the research, production, and manufacturing of lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) battery packs. The company is committed to advancing battery technology with an emphasis on reliable performance, safety, and extended service life.
