Vivacious and with the optimistic spirit of a true pioneer, Jessica Harquail works diligently to spread professionalism, innovative thought and even a little song and dance throughout the office. With nine years of experience in accounting, and seven years in public practice, Jessica rises large in her position as partner and general practitioner – responsible for day-to-day operations, audits, reviews, succession and tax planning, and compliance engagements. The industries she specializes in include: construction, retail, non-profit, farming and family owned and operated business.

Since earning her BBA, honours degree from Memorial University in St. John’s, Newfoundland in 2009, and her Certified General Accountant and Certified Professional Accountant designations in 2016, Jessica has put her impressive all into even the smallest tasks and budgets. She often supports, connects and networks after-hours on behalf of her clients – to help strengthen the local economy and serve as a beacon of inspiration, hope and positive change.

The true embodiment of Givens LLP’s fierce will and determination to give back to the community and make a difference in the lives of those in need, Jessica is actively involved in many local charities and non-profit organizations, from The Fort Saskatchewan Women in Business, International Women’s Day, and Farmer’s Market committees to The Fort Saskatchewan Families First Society.

Motivated by perfection and the desire to make the world a better (and more efficient!) place, Jessica is equally proud of large and small wins, and will ever-so happily accept both on behalf of her clients in her personal quest to help others feel, and ultimately become, more accomplished.
