Meet the Team

Jennifer has spent her career helping individuals and small business owners take the stress out of tax season. She founded North River alongside Anna with a clear goal: provide the kind of attentive, relationship-based accounting service that larger firms rarely offer.

Her focus is on tax preparation for individuals and businesses of all sizes, but what sets her apart is the emphasis on planning throughout the year. Jennifer believes the best tax outcome starts long before April, not the week a return is due.

She is a member of the National Association of Tax Professionals and stays current with federal and state tax law changes so clients are never caught off guard. Whether you are filing a straightforward return or navigating a more complex situation involving rental income, small business activity, or a major life change, Jennifer will walk through it with you in plain language.

Jennifer is active in the Manatee County community and takes real pride in serving the area she calls home. Her clients are neighbors, and she treats them that way.

Anna brings a background that is genuinely uncommon in the accounting world. In addition to her work as a tax accountant, she is a trained paralegal, which gives her a particularly sharp eye for business structure, compliance, and the legal dimensions of financial decisions.

That combination is especially valuable for business owners. When a client is forming a new entity, navigating a contract, or working through a situation with legal and tax implications, Anna can address both sides of the picture in a single conversation instead of sending clients back and forth between offices.

Anna handles tax accounting for both individuals and businesses, with a strong emphasis on small business accounting, bookkeeping, and payroll. She understands that business owners need accurate books and timely filings, and they need to be able to trust the numbers they are working from.

She co-founded North River because she wanted to build something local and lasting. Her focus has always been on genuine client relationships rather than volume, and that shows in how she approaches every engagement.
