Meet the Team
Janna Scott
I am one of the founding members and CEO of SK Advisory Group. I started my journey in the world of accounting, taxes, business planning and strategizing more than 15 years ago now. My passion for the finance world as well as my drive to assist and share with others has contributed greatly to my successes and achievements within this industry. I have spent years providing CFO, FP&A, Tax Accounting, Financial Accounting, Compliance and SEC services for clients, as well as many firms, including the IRS and managing finances for the entirety of Washington State. I have found that I am a great asset when it comes to starting, scaling, selling, buying or merging businesses. In addition, I am also IRS certified and have my CMA License.
Throughout my years within the industry, I have been inclined to seek out information to educate myself whenever any question might be posed that I did not know the answer to. Or to ask the question that others were not asking to further my knowledge and satisfy my genuine sense of curiosity and eagerness to be of help to those that don’t know what they could be asking. Or, furthermore, know if the answers are inaccurate even if the question is answered. To look out for the good and wellbeing of the people regarding their livelihoods.
I found myself wandering into the crypto space, further exploring and learning. It was when the IRS’ plans were announced, and the framework surfaced showing how Audits on people who function within the space would be carried out, that I started formulating the equation that can evaluate crypto and NFT trades.
Combining my experience within the industry with my passion for knowledge and the financial world, along with my credentials, SK Advisory Group was established. I have partnered with only the best of the best; individuals who hold core values such as integrity, honesty and respect to the highest regard within their moral character.
We strive for quality over quantity in every aspect. Proud to serve nationwide, and internationally in Europe and select Asian Countries.
Aria Reid
My name is Aria Reid Cissney, and I have the privilege of holding the position of Chief Operations Officer for SK Advisory Group.
I am from what started out as a small Town in WA State, that turned into a very small City where I grew up and started a family. Growing up somewhere that you may hear referred to as “The middle of nowhere” at times, can make big dreams and the titles that often go with them seem almost out of reach if you don’t get the right education at the right school, or move to the big City. Determined to overcome this challenge, I have dedicated decades to gaining experience, building and managing businesses across a multitude of industries, creating success and growth all throughout my journey.
In 2020 my son and I ventured across the country, creating a new home and a new life while navigating through one of the most challenging times I’ve known our world to have had within my lifetime thus far. Having moved to a larger city with ample opportunities beyond where we came from, coincidentally enough, this opportunity with SK Advisory in particular, came from back home. Now curious, did I have to move in order to grow into this opportunity?
The driving force at SK Advisory is what, I would say, excites me the most about joining the team. At our core, we are driven to be of service, create clarity, trust, peace of mind and protection within an industry that is so largely misunderstood and underutilized. Having the opportunity to collaborate with individuals, organizations, and families across our world to ensure that they are set up for the fullest extent of financial success and well being possible, is an invaluable purpose to resonate with. We do, so you can do more.
Thomas Kirk
I was introduced to accounting early on in life, working for my father’s automation business at the age of 16. There I learned the ins and outs of financial accounting and bookkeeping. After graduation, I went to Indiana University of Bloomington and earned my Bachelor of Science degree in Biochemistry. During my time at college and beyond, I spent seven years working as a Controller for medium to large privately held corporations.
While in one of my positions as a Controller, I seized an opportunity to begin contracting as a tax preparer for the firm that serviced the business where I held my previous title. That was, until the corporation was sold and dismantled. When this tookplace, I relocated to the city of Chicago, and started working exclusively for public firms in the Tax Accounting field. For the next eight years, I used my mastery of accounting with my well-developed analytical abilities and problem-solving skills to further develop as a TaxAccountant. I quickly advanced into more prestigious positions with every firm that I was contracted to work with.
Over the past few years of my career, Janna and I’s paths have crossed, being contracted by the same firms across the country. It was through these coincidences that we got to know each other creating a mutual respect for each other's specialties and realized our strengths in collaborating within the same industry.
