Jeff Arnol CPA, JD
Consultant
Jeff Arnol joined Rosenberg Associates after spending his 40+ year career in public accounting. He spent his first several years working at a large international and mid-size national firm before joining Kessler Orlean Silver, a local Chicago-area firm, in 1989. After being admitted as a partner in 1995, he was appointed managing partner in 2002. As MP, he spearheaded the firm from a 30-person, $4M firm to a 60-person, $10M firm before their merger with a national CPA firm in 2018.
Over his tenure, they merged several accounting practices, and he oversaw the transition and buyouts of four partners and their practices and the admittance of several partners. As they grew, he established a more formal governance model, hired HR and marketing directors, and facilitated the firm’s annual strategic planning retreats. He was also involved with an international accounting association, serving as a Board member and officer for several years and a member of their practice management committee.
He spent his entire career in tax planning, compliance, and consulting, working with high net worth individuals and small- to mid-size companies in various industries. He received an accounting degree from the University of Wisconsin and a law degree from Indiana University.
As a recent retiree from the rigors of public accounting, he has kept incredibly busy with various hobbies and interests, including home projects, spending quality time with his two young grandchildren, and playing his newest addiction, pickleball.
