Scott Holton

Scott Holton, CPA, joined Next Frontier Capital in July 2022 as Chief Financial Officer.

Prior to joining NFC, Scott spent 24 years in public accounting. After graduating from Montana State University with a Masters of Professional Accountancy degree, he joined PricewaterhouseCoopers, LLP in their audit department. At PwC he spent over 5-years primarily performing audits of publicly traded, and other middle market, companies in the energy and utility industries. Scott left PwC as an audit manager in 2003 and returned to Bozeman.

Upon his return to Bozeman, Scott joined the regional accounting firm, Rudd & Company, where he helped build and grow their local audit and tax professional services practice. Scott spent over 18 years with Rudd & Company as one of their senior partners growing the Bozeman office from 8 to nearly 50 employees. During that time he also was instrumental in building this local firm into a major player in the Montana market. He believes the experience he gained advising clients, growing the firm and mentoring employees will be extremely valuable in this next chapter of his career. Scott is excited about joining NFC, having enjoyed his partners, staff and clients at Rudd, but wanting to pursue his other dream of helping early-stage start-up companies. The chance to work with the NFC team is quite an honor as their character and ethics are second to none.
