ABOUT JON BAKER
As FAS Practice Leader and Principal at Embark, I bring more than two decades of experience in technical accounting, financial reporting, and auditing to support CFOs with transaction advisory, financial operations improvement, and complex accounting challenges. Leveraging deep expertise in CPA, IFRS, and US GAAP, I collaborate with clients to deliver tailored solutions that align with their strategic goals. My mission is to provide impactful guidance and advisory services to CFOs while fostering exceptional client experiences. With a focus on delivering value, I contribute to projects involving M&A, IPO readiness, and operational improvements. Embark’s commitment to hospitality and excellence ensures clients benefit from industry-leading support.Career HistoryI started my career with KPMG in the Audit practice of the Orange County, CA office for approximately 4 years (August 2006 - June 2010).At that point, I took an international rotation with the KPMG firm in Australia and joined the Brisbane, Australia Audit Practice. This rotation lasted approximately 3 years (July 2010 - March 2013) and I was promoted to Manager shortly after my arrival in Brisbane. This change in locale led to experience auditing several large multinational clients and garnered significant experience with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and International Auditing Standards. Upon completion of this rotation, I took advantage of an opportunity to repatriate to the United States and took a Senior Manager position in the Houston, TX Audit practice of KPMG to continue my career development. I served clients in Houston through June 2017 and then transitioned into a rotation with KPMG\'s Department of Professional Practice in New York. After 3 years in New York City, I relocated to New Orleans, LA to serve public and private clients in the Southern Louisiana Market and serve as an Audit Quality Support Partner throughout the country.My experience throughout my career has led to me serving clients across a broad spectrum of industries including Healthcare, Not for Profits, Energy, Industrial Manufacturers, Construction and more.
