Jamie Ward

Founder, CPA

Jamie Ward, as a credit analyst encountering businesses who struggled to put together the information they needed for the bank to make an informed decision. This inspired him to help businesses understand the value of maintaining up-to-date financial information to properly manage their affairs. Jamie truly enjoys looking over financial statements of businesses and putting together a complete picture of their history; better yet, he finds it rewarding to show the business how they can use their history to change the future.
