Who We Are

Amanda Hansen, EA

Born and raised in Thousand Oaks, CA, Amanda worked internally in the accounting and estimating departments of prestigious construction and real estate firms throughout her early career. These experiences fueled an interest in the investment and development segments of the industry. Following several more years of internal experience in managerial roles, she added tax preparation and planning to her skillset. After moving to Washington State in 2016, she co-founded PNW Financial Concierge with Cherri the following year, sat for the exams, and was granted the credential of Enrolled Agent (EA). Assisting real estate investors and small businesses is a particular goal of hers, and she strives to stay up-to-date on the latest opportunities available to the firm’s clients.

Cherri Peterson, CPA

Cherri’s varied experience in accounting and tax began with earning her CPA credential in New Orleans, LA followed by early career work at the former Peat Marwick (now KPMG). Her subsequent work in internal audit departments of large corporations then lead to a decade of partnerships at some of the premier CPA firms in Los Angeles. Later, she took on the role of CFO for a boutique property firm with investments and entities across multiple disciplines. When Amanda approached her about co-founding PNW Financial Concierge, she accepted happily knowing the value her experiences would bring to the local community. Cherri takes great pleasure in assisting local businesses and empowering them to grow.
