Meet Jay P. Trudell
Hi, I’m Jay P. Trudell. I’m a Canadian Chartered Professional Accountant and a United States Certified Public Accountant, Licensed by the State of Illinois. With over 25 years of experience in public practice, I provide tax, accounting, and bookkeeping services tailored for individuals and small businesses—especially those navigating cross-border financial matters.
I started this practice on March 1, 2023, after years of working with multinational firms and mid-sized local practices. My goal is to offer expert-level service without the complexity or cost of a large firm. Many of my clients value having direct access to a seasoned professional who understands both Canadian and U.S. tax systems and can offer clear, timely advice with a personal touch.
My dual designation as a Canadian Chartered Professional Accountant and a United States Certified Public Accountant, Licensed by the State of Illinois, allows me to assist clients with cross-border tax planning, filings, and compliance with confidence. I’ve also completed the Chartered Professional Accountants Association of Canada's In-Depth Tax Course, which supports my commitment to technical excellence and up-to-date guidance.
Beyond my professional achievements, I believe in staying active and connected to my community. I proudly served as a volunteer firefighter for 12 years—a role that taught me the value of trust, teamwork, and service. Outside of work, I enjoy spending quality time with my family, staying active through sports, and exploring the outdoors whenever I can.
