Jack Harkins, CPA/PFS

I am a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) and founder of Alder Street Advisors, where I bring a wealth of expertise in advisory, tax, accounting, and payroll services tailored to the unique needs of small businesses and individual clients. My journey in the finance field began with a solid foundation, having graduated from the University of Washington in 2010 with a Bachelor of Arts in Accounting. Shortly thereafter, I earned my CPA license in 2011, further solidifying my commitment to the highest standards of financial excellence and integrity.

Beyond my CPA certification, I hold the Personal Financial Specialist (PFS) credential from the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), an affirmation of my proficiency in personal financial planning. As a proud member of the AICPA, I am committed to lifelong learning and adhering to the profession’s highest ethical standards.

Before founding Alder Street Advisors, I co-founded Bedrock CPA Group in 2014, where I honed my skills and developed a deep understanding of the challenges and opportunities faced by small business owners. This experience ignited my passion for empowering small businesses, guiding them through complex financial landscapes, and contributing to their growth and success.

Outside of my professional life, I cherish spending time with my family, enjoying the great outdoors, and cheering on my favorite sports teams.

My passion for small businesses and dedication to helping owners navigate financial complexities are at the heart of everything I do. I believe in building lasting relationships with my clients, understanding their unique needs, and providing tailored solutions that drive their success.
