Get To Know Karin Wandtke
Some people excel at making numbers tell a story for a business or client. They’re called auditors, and Karin is one of our best. She’ll admit it’s not a job for everyone, but she thrives on it. She credits the people she works with for making all the difference. “We don’t behave like a bunch of accountants—or at least the perception of them. We know how to have fun while working hard.” Karin contributes her expertise, gained as a public accountant since 1992. At McDonald Jacobs, she’s an auditor, focusing on nonprofit organizations, preparing commercial financial statements and assisting with tax consulting.

As Partner, Karin continues to support and grow the firm’s audit practice.
