About Harlan Willow

ABOUT US

Your Partners in Smart Tax Planning

At Harlan Willow Accounting Group, we believe that great accounting is proactive, not reactive. We work closely with business owners and high-income individuals to deliver strategic tax planning and accurate monthly accounting that actually moves the needle. Our approach is built around simplicity, responsiveness, and long-term partnership. You’ll always know where your finances stand—and you’ll never feel like you’re chasing your accountant.

We’re not just here to file your returns. We’re here to help you make confident, tax-smart decisions all year long—so you can focus on growing your business, not managing your books.

At Harlan Willow, we’re not interested in surface-level service. We’re here to build lasting relationships with business owners who want reliable, strategic support year-round—not just at tax time. Our process is simple, smart, and built around what works best for you.

Understand Your Goals

We start by learning about your business, your pain points, and what financial success looks like to you.

Build a Custom Plan

From tax strategy to monthly reporting, we design a streamlined solution that fits your workflow and objectives.

Execute + Adjust

We handle the accounting while keeping you in the loop. As your business evolves, so does our approach.

certified public accountant

I’m Jag Bains, a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) and the founder of Harlan Willow Accounting Group.

With over 8 years of experience across a range of industries—including agriculture, real estate, apparel, and manufacturing—I started my firm with one goal in mind: to provide clients with exceptional service and clear, honest communication. I believe that when people know where they stand financially, they can make decisions with confidence and peace of mind.

On a personal note, I’m married to my amazing wife, and we recently welcomed our first daughter into the world—an experience that’s been both humbling and incredible. I’m also a proud dog dad to two goldendoodles, Milo and Charlie, who definitely keep things lively.

When I’m not working with clients, you can usually find me watching NFL or NBA games, getting in a good workout, or spending time outdoors. Whether it’s business or life, I’m all about consistency, growth, and showing up for the people who count on me.
