Meet the Owners
At North River Accounting & Tax Services, we built more than an accounting firm — we built the kind of place we would want to walk into ourselves. Modern. Welcoming. Strategic.
We’re not your typical accounting office — and that’s intentional.
Jennifer Tratz
Co-Founder / Tax AccountantAs a dedicated tax accountant, Jennifer specializes in tax preparation and proactive tax planning for individuals and small business owners. She works directly with clients to ensure they understand their numbers — not just file them. Her focus goes beyond compliance; she helps clients make informed financial decisions year-round.
After years in traditional accounting environments, Jennifer knew there was a better way. She set out to create a boutique-style firm with a fresh, modern aesthetic — a space where clients feel comfortable asking questions and confident making financial decisions.
Jennifer is passionate about helping clients move beyond the refund and toward long-term financial clarity and growth.
