Zach Perez Accountant

Numbers are Zach Perez’s comfort zone, but his true strength lies in making them work more effectively for the business. At Aqua, Zach combines corporate tax expertise, practical accounting leadership, and process-improvement skills that help keep operations sharp, compliant, and efficient. After graduating, he quickly moved up to Staff Accountant and Corporate Tax Specialist at RLG, where he hired and supervised a junior accountant, prepared and reviewed corporate tax returns for around 140 clients, and handled many “can you help with this?” moments for clients along the way.

When he moved to St. Petersburg, Zach maintained his momentum as an independent contractor, providing corporate tax support for RLG, another CPA, and his own clients. Most recently, he joined Knight Global Entertainment as a Senior Staff Accountant, supporting well-known venues and brands including Jannus Live, Pelican Pub, Goodnight John Boy, The Landing, and Detroit Liquor. He was then promoted to Controller for Knight Global Entertainment and CCT Sciences, where he led a team of five, streamlined accounting processes, and analyzed data to identify recurring annual savings.

When he’s off the clock, Zach stays on the move with yoga, weightlifting, biking, kayaking, tennis, and golf, and he always finds time for a good book.
