Jennifer P. Clingan

CPA, Principal

“I work hard to understand my clients’ business—from more than just the accounting perspective.  My job isn’t to quote  IRS code, but to make IRS code and complex tax and accounting issues understandable and manageable so my clients can focus on growing their business.”
