The firm of JD & Associates was founded in 1990 to serve the Red River Valley and the surrounding region. The professionals in the firm come from public and private accounting and have extensive experience in business issues.

Simply stated, JD & Associates was founded to provide “service second to none.”

Since compliance with today's complex and ever-changing tax and business regulatory laws is difficult (and becoming more so), we assist our clients in understanding and applying these complex rules in their business and personal affairs.

The firm's extensive and practical experience, in both accounting and tax compliance, offers clients a two-fold advantage: we help firms successfully operate and expand, while minimizing taxes to retain profits.

JD & Associates niche in the accounting profession is in providing services to businesses that want that extra effort and attention from an accounting firm to assist in their growth and evolution.

Above all, we place a premium on timeliness, thoroughness and accuracy.

Our commitment to excellence is evidenced by the selection of our staff, research resources and emphasis on quality control. To advance these efforts, we participate in the Private Company Practice Section of the American Institute of CPAs and undergo an intensive study of quality controls once every three years.

To ensure professional leadership, JD & Associates maintains active membership in the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and the North Dakota Society of Certified Public Accountants.

What sets us apart from other firms: We are large enough to serve a wide client base, yet small enough for personal service. Above all, our service is customized to match our clients' needs.
