Jennifer Cox was looking to create more client "light bulb" moments when she made the move to our firm. As a resident of the area, she was already a fan of the Napa Valley views and quality of life but wanted more time to enjoy it. Jennifer grew up in Massachusetts but found her way to the Napa Valley thanks to her college sweetheart (now her husband). The two met at a small college on the coast of Maine and together made the transition back to the West Coast shortly after graduation. She started work in the wine industry as a brix tester before moving into finance roles and then returning to school at University of California, Davis where she received her Master’s in Professional Accountancy. She quickly earned her CPA license and then gained audit experience in different firms, most recently as a benefit plan audit specialist. When she is not at work or traveling, Jennifer can be found appreciating life on her family’s mountain vineyard and farm and finding peace in the early morning views of the valley over a cup of coffee. Jennifer is a CPA, licensed by the state of California.

Lisa Akrawi is a recent graduate of Walla Walla University where she earned a BBA with a concentration in accounting. She was drawn to accounting by her interest in numbers, organization, and balance. The child of a multi-cultural family, Lisa sees accounting as another specialized language to learn and apply. The symmetry of accounting also appeals to her overall sense of aesthetics which she applies in her many creative pursuits. As a former student at Pacific Union College, Lisa is happy to be back in the Napa Valley which she appreciates as the “perfect combination of city and country without being terribly suburban.” She is a frequent traveler and hopes to return to Venice, Italy for a chance to learn more about its unique experiences.

She is an Enrolled Agent (EA) which is a designation issued by the IRS for tax practitioners who pass their examination and meet other requirements for ongoing training. She has worked with attorneys and vineyard management companies in the Napa Valley and comes to the wine industry with great perspective and an inherited appreciation for farming. Leigh says she was drawn to accounting because of her math skills which have always come easy to her. She works on the tax team and enjoys "untangling messes". She is an equal opportunity animal lover and has two cats and two dogs. When she is not at work, you will find her bicycling around the Napa Valley in what we can only imagine are the most stylish of outfits. Leigh is an Enrolled Agent, licensed by the Internal Revenue Service.
