JW Advisors was recently named one of the “Best Firms to Work For” by Accounting Today. Managing partner Kirk Jacobson will become partner-in-charge of Eide Bailly’s Las Vegas office.
Jacobson said he was attracted by Eide Bailly’s culture. “Culture is paramount to us, and we’re eager to join a firm with similar values,” he said in a statement. “We’ll have a bigger footprint in the market while retaining the personalized service our clients value.”
A total of 14 staff members and two partners will be joining Eide Bailly from JW Advisors. Also joining Eide Bailly in Las Vegas will be Bryce Wisan, formerly of Wisan, Smith, Racker & Prescott and a former president of the Nevada Society of CPAs’ Las Vegas chapter.
“I’m so excited I can hardly wait,” he said. “Eide Bailly’s resources, opportunities and values, combined with JW Advisors’ reputation and network in the community, will prove to be a force in the Las Vegas market.”
