About Us

We simplify the complex world of aviation tax to empower aircraft owners and operators to make confident, compliant decisions.

Our Story

H&C__LogoMark_Grey-Yellow_RGB

Houck & Christensen CPAs, LLC was born from a simple realization: aircraft ownership is complex, and most tax advisors lack fluency in aviation-specific regulations. Our founders saw a need in the industry—clients were navigating FAA regulations, IRS scrutiny, and high-value transactions without clear, specialized guidance. We set out to change that.

Today, we serve aircraft owners, operators, and aviation professionals across the country to simplify the complex world of aviation tax and empower them to make confident, compliant decisions. We combine deep aviation tax expertise with a proactive, client-first approach. Our team delivers not just answers, but clarity—through strategic planning, compliance support, and ongoing advisory services. We collaborate closely with our clients’ most trusted advisors and CPAs to ensure the aviation tax compliance is handled accurately and efficiently.
