Justin Novak, CPA
Owner/Principal
Justin is the founder of Novak Tax and Accounting LLC. He earned his bachelors' degree from the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul, MN while being a part of the baseball team for the Tommies. He began his accounting career as an auditor for CliftonLarsonAllen and held subsequent positions in tax return preparations, bookkeeping, corporate accounting, tax, and the private industry as a controller/CFO positions. After earning his Certified Public Accountant (CPA) license, he founded Novak Tax and Accounting as a part-time practice. Having built a strong foundation and client base, he has now transitioned to leading the firm on a full-time basis, fully committing to its growth and delivering exceptional accounting and tax services.
Professionally, he enjoys creating new relationships with current and potential clients, listening to the needs of those clients, and digging into the tax code to find ways to make sure his customers receive the biggest tax benefit possible. He has many years of experience with all kinds of tax returns ranging from a simple individual return with one W-2 to the more difficult business returns. He specializes in tax returns for real estate agents and/or real estate investing since his wife has been a realtor for many years! He is currently a member of MN Society of CPAs and the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.
Personally, Justin has been married to his wife Jamie since 2015. They have four children (3 daughters and 1 son) and a dog. Justin enjoys everything to do with sports, whether that is playing or watching them! Sometimes it is hard to admit it, but MN professional sports teams are his passion! He recently retired from amatuer baseball and will now look to use that free time with his family and golfing. Guided by a deepening Christian faith that continues to grow alongside his entrepreneurial journey, he strives to lead with integrity, purpose, and gratitude in every business endeavor.
Justin's passion as a CPA and business owner is to promote small businesses, encourage small business owners, develop accounting and communication skills/knowledge, and to promote the firm as a talented and ethical professional.
