Qualifications
The Jacobson Jarvis staff includes professionals with audit experience who work solely with the not-for-profit community.
Jacobson Jarvis believes the key to a successful engagement is the assignment of your audit team. Our firm is unique in that we focus 100 % of our audit capacity on the not-for-profit community, unlike most firms that concentrate on the margin of profit available from the for-profit business and industry sectors. Our staff includes professionals with audit experience who work solely with the notfor-profit community. Ours is one of the largest NFP auditexperienced staff of any CPA firm in the area.
Partners with diverse and complementary skills founded Jacobson Jarvis & Co with the desire to serve the not-for-profit community, Julleen Snyder, Howard Donkin and Erin Welch, lead the audit, tax, and business advisory services departments. Each partner is a CPA and each lends a particular expertise to projects, providing wellrounded analyses and outcomes.
The people we choose for your engagement possess the technical ability, as well as specific experience, to address the issues facing your organization. They are qualified not only to accomplish the tasks at hand but to serve in a business advisory capacity, providing you with useful information on a number of topics.
Cost is also a serious consideration when assigning team members. We will never assign unnecessary personnel to your audit team. We carefully assess your needs and assign the correct number of people to provide you with the maximum level of service. We also insist on assigning people who are technically appropriate to each specific task, ensuring that costs are kept to a minimum.
