About Jason
Jason Knott combines formal training in accounting and tax law with a practice centered in Florida. He earned a Bachelor of Science in Accounting from the University of South Florida and then studied law at Washburn University School of Law, completing a J.D. with emphasis in tax. Those credentials shape how he approaches client problems.
He is a Certified Public Accountant, licensed by the Florida Board of Accountancy. That credential gives him direct familiarity with financial statements, tax reporting and the technical rules that underlie many disputes. He often draws on accounting concepts when explaining legal options to business owners and individual taxpayers.
Knott's legal practice runs in the context of Florida law. He advises clients on matters that intersect tax and business, including planning for transactions, structuring operations to manage tax exposure and addressing compliance questions. He also assists clients who face examinations or other contested matters where interpreting tax rules and records is important.
Colleagues describe him as practical and detail-oriented. He tends to break complex tax principles into concrete steps. That approach matters when tax consequences hinge on timing, allocation or factual documentation. His dual background means he can review a client’s books and also translate those numbers into legal risk and opportunity.
At Knott PLLC he handles a mix of engagements. Some involve negotiating terms for small and mid-size enterprises. Others involve advising individuals on tax obligations related to estates, investments or business interests. He works directly with clients and with other advisers, including accountants and financial planners, to align legal advice with financial realities.
Clients who seek his counsel typically need someone who understands both the numbers and the law. He prepares legal opinions, drafts transactional documents and supports clients through audits and administrative processes. He focuses on clear communication and on giving clients practical choices backed by technical analysis.
Outside specific cases, he keeps current on developments in tax rules and accounting guidance that affect Florida taxpayers. He also maintains his CPA license and the continuing professional education it requires. He practices law in Florida and concentrates his work on tax, business and related compliance matters.
