Jim Stelten, CPA, CEPA®
“I’ve been blessed to have found a role that aligns with my passion and beliefs – to learn, grow and make a difference in the lives of others. I’ve learned much since joining the firm – about myself, about leadership and how to create value for clients. I love brainstorming, solving problems and creating opportunity. My current role allows me to do that – it does not feel like work.”
