True to the numbers. True to you.

Veracious means “speaking the truth.” That’s the standard I hold for every set of books and every tax return I touch. My role is to give you financial information you can trust — and to make sure it’s prepared in a way that holds up in the real world.

Serving ethical, growth-minded businesses on the Western Slope and beyond.

Christopher J. Hocking - Accountant

I’m Christopher, founder of Veracious Accounting

I’m an accountant and former IRS Revenue Agent based in Grand Junction, Colorado. I’ve seen what happens when books are thrown together at the last minute — and how stressful it is when owners don’t really know what’s going on in their numbers.

So I built Veracious Accounting to do the opposite:

  • Proactive instead of reactive

  • Clear instead of confusing

  • Ethical instead of aggressive

    I work with clients who care about doing things the right way, even as business models evolve into the Web3 era.

Grand Junction and the Western Slope are home — and the landscape is a daily reminder of why long-term thinking matters. I’m building Veracious Accounting the same way: steady, grounded, and focused on helping clients grow in a way that’s sustainable, not reckless.

Principles behind the practice.

Good accounting is more than software and forms. These are the principles that shape how I work with every client:

  • Transparency – You should understand where your numbers come from and what they mean.

  • Compliance – Books and returns aligned with tax law and accounting standards — not shortcuts.

  • Precision – Details matter. Especially when it comes to taxes and digital assets.

  • Partnership – I’m here to be a long-term ally in your business, not just a seasonal form-filler.

Modern tools. Time-tested standards.

I work with QuickBooks Online, Xero, and other cloud tools, and can integrate exports from wallets and exchanges where appropriate. The technology may be new. The discipline — accurate records that tie neatly into compliant tax returns — remains the same.

My goal is to help you adopt the tools and structures that fit your business, without losing sight of what really matters: clear, verifiable financial information.
