"It has been my privilege and passion to work with and for not- for-profit organizations for over 40 years, helping them to be more efficient and effective in their organizations. One of my goals in semi-retirement is to find my place where as a volunteer I can add value to and continue to be a part of such a necessary part of our society."

~ Wendy Jacobson, CPA

In 1991, Wendy Jacobson joined with partners Dale Jarvis and Char Davies to form a unique CPA firm that would provide audit, tax and consulting services to not- for-profit organizations throughout the Pacific Northwest. In 20 years, the firm has grown to be a leader in providing quality professional services to not-for-profits varying in size and missions, and we continue to serve as a sustaining resource to the not-for-profit community at large.

Prior to forming Jacobson Jarvis, Wendy started her professional career with Touche Ross (now Deloitte) in 1970 in the Seattle office. In 1980, she became a sole proprietor specializing in audit, tax and consulting services for not-for-profits.
