Jean’s unique ability to tax plan
by combining tax law and creativity gives a client new
ways to view their business, trust, and estate
structures for maximum tax savings.
Saving taxes through proper
application of the law and strategizing
transactions…that is what sets Jean apart from other
CPAs.
She has a Bachelors Degree in
Marketing from Southern Illinois University, a
Post-Baccalaureate in Accounting and a Masters degree of
Taxation from Arizona State
University.
Jean edits books on tax law and
investments for CCH, a national publication house.
She also designed an online
course in estate tax preparation for CCH; written
articles for Arizona Women’s News; ghost written several
books on tax law; and taught accounting at
Arizona
State
University
and two
Maricopa Community Colleges.
Raised on a small family farm in
Williamson,
New
York
she grew up with a love of nature.
While attending Southern
Illinois University, she met Hugh Halbeck, her future
husband.
They moved around the
mid-west in the late 1970’s and early 1980’s – Chicago,
Detroit
and Milwaukee
before escaping the winters and moving to Phoenix.
Their two children, Julianna,
also an accountant, lives in
London,
England
and Timothy attends Paradise
Valley
Community College,
possibly another accountant in the making.
Jean loves to travel to experience
different cultures and photograph.
Some of her photography can
be seen on the firm’s website, and in our offices.
