This breadth of experience allows him to support both local businesses and companies on par with the Fortune 500.

Over the course of his career, Jake has led and supervised engagements across an exceptionally diverse set of industries, including technology, hospitality, real estate, manufacturing, retirement plans, distribution, gaming, mining, construction, and digital assets. He has guided clients reporting under both U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles and International Financial Reporting Standards, and he has executed audits under Generally Accepted Auditing Standards as well as Public Company Accounting Oversight Board standards for both 404(a) and 404(b) filers.

Jake has played a pivotal role in helping privately held companies enter the public markets through initial public offerings, reverse mergers, and de‑SPAC transactions. His technical expertise spans complex and high‑impact areas such as business combinations, derivative instruments, revenue recognition, deferred taxes, and stock‑based compensation.

As the leader of the Audit and Assurance Practice at Curran & Company, Jake brings a top‑tier, big‑firm skill set to a boutique environment—delivering personalized, high‑touch service without compromising on technical excellence. He partners closely with organizations to strengthen compliance, elevate financial reporting, and support strategic growth, offering the rare combination of national‑firm capability with a local‑firm feel.
