Getting To Know Our Naperville Accountants: Kent Jensen
Born and raised in Fargo, North Dakota, Kent Jensen built a strong foundation of Midwestern values that continue to shape both his personal and professional life. He earned his bachelor’s degree in Accounting from the University of North Dakota and is a licensed Certified Public Accountant in both Illinois and Minnesota. After moving to Illinois 15 years ago, Kent established his career while raising two wonderful sons, who remain his greatest joy and motivation.
Kent is deeply rooted in his faith and community. He actively participates in men’s Bible study at Compass Church in Naperville and is involved with Bible Study Fellowship. He also enjoys serving in Compass Church’s Guest Services and Junior High/High School Community, where he finds fulfillment in helping others grow in faith and fellowship. Outside of work and ministry, Kent enjoys relaxing with a good jigsaw puzzle or spending time on the golf course. His life reflects a blend of dedication, service, and gratitude—both in his profession and his walk of faith.
Kent's Personal Story of Triumph & His Financial Mission
Kent, the founder of Right Hand Tax Prep & Bookkeeping, knows what it means to overcome adversity.
In late 2017, Kent suffered a stroke caused by an aneurysm near his brain. He was in a medically induced coma for a month, left with partial loss of motor skills and was given only a one percent chance of survival. God answered the many prayers of Kent’s family members and his bible study group to save his life. While expected to be confined to a wheelchair the rest of his life, Kent began intensive physical therapy that eventually gave him the opportunity to learn and walk again.
Kent’s faith in God who heals, the love and encouragement from his two young sons, Kent Russell and Zachary, as well as the support of Christian friends gave him consistent encouragement and strength each day to endure therapy and learn to adapt to the re-start of his life. His surgery left him with use of only his right hand, which was extremely difficult as a left-handed person.
Kent is a licensed CPA and has been actively using his accounting skills to assist others with income tax preparation and bookkeeping needs since his recovery. His experiences overcoming adversity and patience in recovery help him to have a unique perspective when working with clients. Kent can empathize with those that are struggling…physically, mentally, and spirtually.
In God’s Hands,
Kent
