Executive Summary
Jason Durham is Chief Accounting Officer of Tyler Technologies, the largest provider of software to the United States public sector, and is the company’s designated principal accounting officer — the executive whose signature appears on its annual report to the Securities and Exchange Commission. Tyler’s software runs courts, public safety, property appraisal, permitting, school administration and payments for thousands of state and local government agencies, and the business has spent recent years migrating that estate to the cloud and to subscription revenue, which makes revenue recognition and reporting unusually demanding. Durham joined as corporate controller in 2019 and was promoted into the chief accounting seat in July 2022. He arrived from Hitachi Consulting, where he had been both Chief Financial Officer and Senior Vice President of Global Finance Operations, and earlier held finance leadership roles at McAfee and Dell Technologies.

- Served as Chief Financial Officer at Hitachi Consulting, and separately as its Senior Vice President of Global Finance Operations.

Professional Journey
Durham trained as an accountant at The University of Texas, taking a master’s in professional accounting from its McCombs School of Business, and went on to earn both the Certified Public Accountant and Certified Management Accountant designations. The pairing is telling about the kind of finance executive he became: the CPA covers external reporting and audit, the CMA covers internal decision support and cost management, and his subsequent roles have sat across both.
His early career was in finance leadership at large technology companies, at Dell Technologies and then at McAfee. He moved to Hitachi Consulting, where he held two senior posts — Senior Vice President of Global Finance Operations, running finance as a global function, and Chief Financial Officer.
In 2019 he joined Tyler Technologies as corporate controller. Tyler is an acquisitive company operating in a fragmented public-sector software market, and it was at the time in the middle of a transition from licence sales and on-premises deployment to subscription and cloud — a shift that reshapes how and when revenue is recognised and puts sustained pressure on the controllership function.
He was promoted to Chief Accounting Officer in July 2022, taking responsibility for accounting, reporting and finance operations, and became Tyler’s principal accounting officer. He has signed the company’s annual reports in that capacity since, most recently on 18 February 2026, working alongside Chief Executive H. Lynn Moore, Jr. and Chief Financial Officer Brian K. Miller.
