Lance Fenton, CPA
Partner
Lance Fenton, CPA, is a Partner at Cooper Norman. He works with owners on the decisions that carry a tax bill, a valuation number, or a signature: how the entity is structured, what the books say before quarter close, and what happens to the business when the owner is ready to hand it off. The answer comes with the reasoning behind it, so you can act on it.

About Lance
Lance leads engagements across Tax Planning & Advisory, Client Accounting Services, Audit & Assurance, Business Valuation, and Business Transition Planning. Most of what reaches him is a decision that cannot wait for filing season: whether an equipment purchase belongs in this year or next, what a distribution does to the owner's return, whether the entity type still fits the business it has become, and what an outside party will want to see before a loan, a buyout, or a review.
Because Cooper Norman runs as one connected team across six offices in Idaho and Utah, Lance can pull a valuation view into a tax conversation or bring an audit perspective into a transition plan without handing you to a stranger. He tells owners what the numbers support and what they do not. When a decision has more than one defensible path, he lays out the trade-offs and stays in the conversation while you choose.
