Meet Our CEO

---

“My business exists to help your business grow and prosper.”

Jeffrey I. Kim, CPA, is the founder and CEO of Jireh, CPA Co. His clients highly regard him for providing value beyond accounting, insightful solutions, and exceptional service. In addition, clients consider Jeff their most valuable advisor because he is honest, sincere, and attentive. Jeff considers honesty and reliability important characteristics for everyone who serves clients, especially accountants.

As a trusted advisor for more than 20 years, Jeff is proactive in his approach to client service and is constantly looking for new ways to save clients money, improve cash flow, and increase profits. He provides CFO, traditional accounting, and tax services to closely held businesses and individuals.

Jeff is highly regarded for recommending tax credits and deductions that most accountants overlook. As a result, his clients can legitimately lower their tax burden, making money available to invest in their businesses. Jeff also serves as the outsourced CFO or controller of numerous companies, allowing clients to work on growing their businesses while benefiting from having accurate numbers to make investment decisions.

One example of a unique approach Jeff took to help a client save money was accomplished through tax planning and consulting with other professional service providers. As a result, Jeff was able to shift income into a corporate retirement plan for the client, which resulted in significant savings. 

Jeff graduated from Drexel University in 1997 with a Bachelor of Science degree. He is a member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) and the Pennsylvania Institute of Certified Public Accountants (PICPA). Through the PICPA, Jeff was interviewed by a local television station on income taxes and has spoken at various community group meetings on personal budgeting. In addition, he serves on the Korean American Chamber of Commerce – Philadelphia board. 

Before starting Jireh CPA Co, Jeff worked for some of the most respected firms in the industry, including the "Big 4" firm EY, where he provided tax and advisory services to Fortune 500 companies.
