Accounting

Prior to Timberlane, Jeff served in financial reporting roles at a privately-held real estate developer and a single-family office where he was responsible for overseeing the accounting, financial reporting, tax, and other compliance related functions. Jeff’s real estate experience was built in the multi-family space including urban in-fill development, end-to-end mid-rise apartment and build-for-rent communities, as well as value-add investments. His career began in public accounting in the Seattle office of Moss Adams.

Jeff holds a B.A. in Accounting from Seattle University. He is a Certified Public Accountant in Washington and a member of the WSCPA and AICPA. He and his wife live in Seattle with their two children and he is actively involved as a board member of Seattle Central Little League.

Melissa moved to Seattle in 2006 and has decided to stay and make it her permanent home. She graduated from University of Washington and from then has built up her experience in accounting.

Melissa joined Timberlane in 2017 and has been growing alongside the company ever since. She handles the financial reporting for the multifamily and hospitality assets of the company. Because of her long tenure with the company, she has a rich knowledge of the history of Timberlane.

Outside of work, she can be seen traveling all over the world and getting to know and experience every culture. She can also be seen going to concerts and festivals and trying out different restaurants in Seattle.

I am a Washington native, who grew up in a small agriculture town in Central Washington and working in apple and cherry fields since 13 years old. I moved to Seattle in 2013 to attend college and obtained my bachelor’s in business administration from the University of Washington. While attending UW I got my first accounting position as a bookkeeper for a Property Development company (Rainier Valley Partners), then later worked at NorthStar Energy as an Accounts Payable Specialist.

Outside of work, I enjoy being in the outdoors hiking and walking through local parks, going to sporting events and cooking.
