Jackie Reynolds, CPA

Partner

Jackie is a CPA whose passion for accounting was ignited at a young age by her mother, instilling a lifelong dedication to the profession. Her journey at McAuley & Crandall began as an administrative office assistant, progressing through roles to become a staff accountant and achieving partnership at the remarkable age of 30. A graduate of the University of Missouri – Kansas City, Jackie earned her Bachelor of Science in Accounting, where she also showcased her talents as a member of the UMKC dance team throughout her four years.

Jackie’s professional milestones include earning her CPA certification in December 2012 and becoming a 50% owner of M&C upon Nancy McAuley’s retirement in May 2016, thereby transforming the firm into a family-owned business alongside her mother, Becky Crandall. Jackie values the collaborative environment she shares with her mother, fostering professional growth and innovative thinking within the firm. She has played a pivotal role in expanding the team at M&C, nurturing young talent with ambition and determination, and mentoring future CPAs to thrive within the organization.

Actively engaged in professional associations, Jackie is a member of the AICPA, KSCPA, and the Leawood Chamber, where she served as a dedicated six-year committee member for the Young Professionals. She specializes in individual and business tax preparation, offering strategic tax planning to help businesses achieve sustainable growth while alleviating the burden of accounting, payroll, and tax concerns. As a QuickBooks Pro-Advisor, Jackie takes pride in maintaining impeccably balanced books for her clients.

Outside of her professional achievements, Jackie finds joy in family and personal interests. She married her elementary school sweetheart, Ryan, on the lucky date of 7/7/07, and they are blessed with two daughters, Joslyn and Jolie. An avid traveler, Jackie revels in exploring warm climates with sandy beaches and enjoys family trips in their camper, where she serves as the president of a local Holiday Rambler not-for-profit chapter. The Reynolds family shares their home with a beloved Weimaraner adopted from a local rescue organization they have supported for over ten years.

Jackie’s passion for life extends to her commute to the office, where she delights in cruising on her Spyder on warmer days, embracing the freedom of the open road.
