She works with various industries including construction, manufacturing, service, employee benefit plans, and private foundations. She has managed several corporate audits, employee benefit plan audits and assisted businesses and individuals with federal and state tax compliance.
“I cherish the relationships I’ve made with my clients over the years. As a trusted advisor, I take pride knowing they can call me with more than a tax question.”
Her Certified Fraud Examiner designation has made Jaime a great resource regarding fraud prevention and investigation, including expert witness testimony.

“Jaime has been a mentor to me since I have started my career, starting out as her intern at a previous firm, and following her to BKC a few years after she made her move. I have seen her grow so much at her time here at BKC and am so proud to see her make partner. She has worked so hard to reach partner and is going to do great things for our firm.” - Jen Cote
