Jason Miller

President & CEO @ Dean Dorton

About

I serve as President & CEO of Dean Dorton Allen Ford, PLLC, a Top 100 national accounting and advisory firm. My career has been built at the intersection of technology, advisory services, and leadership. Unlike many accounting firm leaders who began exclusively in tax or audit, my background is in technology consulting and software development. That foundation has shaped how I view the future of our profession. I believe the modern accounting firm must evolve beyond compliance to become a strategic advisor — leveraging technology, data, AI, and deep industry expertise to help clients navigate complexity and change. Prior to becoming CEO in 2026, I led our Business Consulting practice, overseeing technology consulting, cybersecurity, data analytics & AI, healthcare consulting, valuation, forensic accounting, transaction advisory, HR consulting, and outsourced accounting services. Today, my focus is on: • Strengthening firm independence • Expanding advisory capabilities • Developing exceptional leaders • Modernizing governance • Positioning our firm for long-term relevance in an AI-driven world
