Mission

March 18, 2007

My name is Mike Jackson, and I graduated from the University of Washington School of Business with a degree in Accounting and Finance. I’m a Washington State Certified Public Account (CPA) and I started my career as an intern, and then full time Associate in the Audit practice of KPMG, LLP, one of the remaining Big 4 Accounting Firms. At KPMG I focused primarily on clients within the Real Estate Industry, the largest of which owned 6 of the largest homebuilding subsidiaries in the United States. I later left KPMG to join the Tax and Wealth Advisory practice of a slightly smaller firm, where I spend the majority of my time with Real Estate and High Net Worth clientèle.

My initial goal for this forum was to mitigate the damage caused by unqualified providers of financial information. After reading my Financial Advisers and How to Handle Taxes post on March 18th, readers began requesting one on one consultations. If you would be interested in a quick planning session, please feel free to contact me at Mike@MLJacksonCPA.com, or visit my website at www.MLJacksonCPA.com.
