ABOUT US
The Beloved CPA Firm
Ethics and Integrity are not just fancy bywords to us
Jedidiah CPA PLLC is a licensed CPA firm in IL [Link to license], US. You can also publicly verify the CPA license for managing partner, Dickson Wasake here and his UK accountancy (ACCA) qualifications here.
Sure, sure, a CPA is required to act ethically per our guidelines - many know this, BUT we do take ethics pretty seriously – so you can expect that we aim to act with the highest levels of integrity. Ethics and Integrity are not just fancy bywords to us; it’s business as usual for us. This is our DNA.
Where We Can Serve You
Jedidiah CPA is licensed in Illinois and operates under the CPA mobility and practice-privilege rules adopted by most U.S. jurisdictions.
For non-attest services (tax, advisory, CAS/fractional CFO, modeling, feasibility studies), we can generally serve clients in most U.S. states under mobility, so long as we remain in good standing and meet each state’s rules.
For attest services (audits, reviews, certain regulated reports), availability varies by state. Before we accept any attest engagement outside Illinois, we verify—using CPAMobility.org and state board guidance—whether:
• Full mobility applies (no local firm license required), or
• A notice, registration, or local firm permit is required.
At present, CPA firm mobility is available in many U.S. jurisdictions, and all 55 U.S. licensing jurisdictions participate in a mobility framework supported by NASBA and AICPA. However, specific requirements differ by state and can change, so we confirm eligibility on a case-by-case basis before accepting any engagement. Based on the information to date, all states except Hawaii and New Hampshire offer in-state reciprocity.
What are our values?
It’s best to say this to explain ourselves: “….kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, there is no law against things such as these. ”
It should be business as usual to expect your CPA to treat you with kindness and perhaps gentleness, even when deadlines are pressing or business is tough.
It is likewise okay to expect faithfulness – after all, typical relationships with your accountant last for years. It’s not unusual for firms to use the same accountant for 100+ years. So yes, this is what we strive for.
Knowing this, do you now see how we can become known as “Jedidiah the beloved [CPA].”
