Accounting as direction,
not compliance.
The firm name comes from Latin: vici means “I conquered.” The point isn’t a boast — it’s a perspective on who the work is for. The goal is for clients to feel that way about their finances. Not anxious about them. Not surprised by them. In control of them.
The typical accounting model is reactive: the year ends, the return gets filed, the owner learns what happened. VICI inverts that. The work starts with understanding the business, organizing accurate records, and advising on decisions before they’re made — with tax and cash consequences understood in advance.
That model requires a level of engagement most accounting relationships don’t have. Which is why VICI stays small enough to maintain it.
Joe came to accounting from the Marine Corps — a background that shaped how he works with clients. Direct. Disciplined. Clear about what can and can’t be done.
He built VICI after years of watching owner-led businesses get treated as afterthoughts — real financial questions landing on the owner’s desk, with no one to help work through them.
“My goal in the first conversation is to work out whether I can actually help. If I can, we move forward. If I can’t, I say so.”
Small enough to maintain real engagement.
Joe built VICI Financial for the businesses he watched get treated as low-priority accounts at larger firms. His background spans the Marine Corps and a decade of accounting practice before starting VICI — and his approach to client work reflects both: direct, disciplined, and clear about what can actually be done. He manages all client relationships and reviews every piece of work that leaves the firm.
Carisse handles the daily reconciliations, bookkeeping, and transaction categorization that keep client records current. Her work is the foundation everything else — tax planning, advisory sessions, and reporting — is built on.
Danielle oversees operations and scheduling, keeps the client portal organized, and makes sure that documents and deadlines don't fall through the cracks. She's the first point of contact for new clients reaching out.
Five things you can count on, every time.
We tell you early if the fit isn't right.
The discovery call exists to find out honestly. If VICI isn't the right match — wrong scope, wrong size, wrong timing — you'll hear it plainly at the start, not after months of a bad fit.
We explain the reasoning, not just the outcome.
Every recommendation comes with the reasoning behind it. You should understand why a structure makes sense, not just be handed a number and told to sign.
We meet our deadlines.
Missed filing deadlines create penalties that follow a business for years. VICI treats every deadline as a firm commitment — and communicates well in advance if anything needs adjustment.
We're clear about what's in scope.
VICI doesn't do audit work, legal services, or investment advisory. When a situation calls for one of those things, we say so and help point you toward the right resource.
Sensitive documents move securely.
Tax records and financial documents never travel through this website or unencrypted email. All document sharing happens through a secure client portal.
The first call is just a conversation.
Thirty minutes to understand your situation and find out if VICI is the right fit. No commitment required from either side.
