history

The growth of Jefferson Wells consequently experienced significant growth above all through the passage of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the associated strict regulatory requirements for the internal control systems of companies listed in the USA.
Unlike accounting firms, Jefferson Wells does not issue attestations and thereby avoids conflicts of interest. The minimum requirement for joining the company is seven years of practical work experience in auditing or industry.
