Mott Williamson, CPA/ABV CFP PBC graduated from the University of Mississippi (Ole Miss) in 1975 with a B.A.  His major fields of study were English, Economics, Accounting, and the Honors College Curriculum. At Ole Miss, he was a member of the leadership honorary Omicron Delta Kappa, and graduated with highest honors. Other honors included a Taylor Medal for highest academic achievement in his field of study, and the designation of Carrier Scholar.  

Mott also attended graduate school at the University of Texas at Austin.  He received the degree of Master in Professional Accounting with an emphasis in federal income taxation.

Mott began his career with a national accounting firm in Dallas, Texas, reaching the position of Supervisor. He transferred to Midland with a different national accounting firm in 1980 and reached the position of Senior Manager.  His career with national accounting firms included being ranked first nationally among his peers on two separate occasions, and three separate stints as an instructor at national firm training programs.

He also participated in auditing the financial statements and the design of income tax minimization strategies for numerous Fortune 1000 public corporations.  Clients included the LTV Corporation, Overhead Door Corporation, National Gypsum and Adobe Oil and Gas Corporation among many.

Mott started his private practice in Midland in 1982.  In 1991, Mott, Tom Wurster, and Andy Armstrong formed today's firm Wurster, Armstrong, and Williamson P.C. 

Mott has extensive experience in business valuation, mergers and acquisitions, business consulting, oil and gas, financial and estate planning, audit, and income tax minimization.  He is certified as a Primary Business Consultant.  He is one of less than fifty individuals in the United States who hold this qualification.  As such, he is a nationally recognized expert in advising business owners how to achieve success in four primary areas of the business cycle, Evaluating, Entering, Enhancing, and Exiting Privately Owned Businesses.  He also holds the credential Accredited in Business Valuation (ABV) awarded by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants only to those few individuals with extensive experience in business valuation.  Credential holders demonstrate substantial business valuation experience and also pass a comprehensive written examination on business valuation matters administered nationally by the Institute.  There are less than 1,500 holders of this credential in the United States.  He is a frequent speaker on business consulting and tax planning topics.  His civic activities include service with his church, civic clubs, and leadership positions in numerous public charities.

Mott and William W. Bumstead recently coauthored the book E4, Evaluating, Entering, Enhancing, & Exiting Privately Owned Businesses.  The book provides business owners the tools needed to achieve the greatest profits and other rewards possible during each phase of business ownership. 

Mott uses his 25 years of consulting experience to build the net worth of his clients and increase their disposable net incomes.  He does this by helping his client diagnose his problem, and then employing his talent, experience, and other professional connections to provide the best solution. 

He believes that there are 4 important areas than a business advisor must be proficient in to provide the best solution.  He must know what factors make a business more valuable. The business is usually the owner's most important and valuable asset. He must be able to provide advice that reduces the costs imposed by government such as federal, state, and local tax, and other regulatory burdens.  He must provide advice that reduces the risk of uncertainty we all face today. And, most importantly, a business advisor must provide advice that makes money for the customer.

For example, a recent engagement forced Mott to employ all these skills while helping a customer negotiate the acquisition of a business. The customer eventually acquired the business for a price more than 1.4 million dollars less than what the seller insisted was the proper price. Another customer also received total cash and stock consideration for his business of approximately $2,700,000 in a business merger Mott advised.

Mott spends his free time with his spouse and 2 young children, and expanding his business skills. He also enjoys playing tennis, and plays an occasional round of golf.  He participates daily in community, charity, and religious activities.
