Heritage of Knott CPA

Built on Decades of Trust. Carried Forward With Purpose. 

Knott CPA began as a small, client-first practice built on the belief that accounting is personal. That belief continues to guide everything we do today. Our firm’s legacy of integrity, accuracy, and long-term relationships is the foundation that informs every decision — even as we evolve to meet the needs of modern businesses and families. 

Founding & Legacy

From the start, Knott CPA was guided by a simple philosophy: deliver precise, ethical advice and treat every client as a partner. Over the years our team has earned client trust through careful stewardship of their financial information, thoughtful planning, and dependable service. Those principles remain at our core — not as relics of the past, but as the standards that shape our present and future.

Timeline of Steady Evolution

Leadership Transition & Continuity

Transitions at Knott CPA have always been deliberate and client-centered. That same thoughtful approach guided the decision to join with JR Clausen CPAs. This alliance was structured to preserve the personal service and trusted relationships clients rely on while bringing broader resources and complementary strengths to the table.

What Has Never Changed 

• Personalized service: You will always work with seasoned professionals who understand your situation. 
• Ethical, conservative guidance: We prioritize integrity and long-term stewardship over quick fixes. 
• Long-term relationships: We measure success by the continuity of our client partnerships. 
• Responsiveness and accessibility: Questions answered. Deadlines met. Peace of mind delivered. 
• Accuracy and accountability: Our work is thorough, defensible, and focused on results. 

Today’s Firm — Heritage Plus Strength

Transitions at Knott CPA have always been deliberate and client-centered. That same thoughtful approach guided the decision to join with JR Clausen CPAs. This alliance was structured to preserve the personal service and trusted relationships clients rely on while bringing broader resources and complementary strengths to the table.

Knott CPA’s merger with JR Clausen CPAs brings two complementary legacies together under a shared commitment to direction, stability, and results. Combining our deep local knowledge and long-term client relationships with JR Clausen’s broader advisory experience enhances the services you already trust: 

• Broader advisory and industry expertise for entrepreneurs, health professionals, and real-estate stakeholders 
• Enhanced planning tools, technology, and reporting to improve clarity and decision-making 
• Continued hands-on client service from experienced CPAs — no junior-only teams 
• A proactive, planning-first mindset that anticipates regulatory change and uncovers opportunities

This evolution is stewardship in action: preserving what matters while strengthening our ability to serve clients today and into the future.

Looking Ahead 

As stewards of a long-standing practice, our focus is simple and enduring: to serve our clients with integrity, insight, and care — today, tomorrow, and for generations to come. By honoring our heritage while embracing thoughtful evolution, we ensure continuity for the people and businesses who depend on us.
