Jeff shaw

Jeffrey Shaw brings more than five decades of accounting and financial expertise to Strategic Navigation Group, PC, where he remains an active presence and a living piece of the firm’s history. At 80 years old, Jeff continues to serve clients he has known for nearly 40 years — a testament to the trust and loyalty he has built throughout his career.

Jeff began his professional journey at Moss Adams in Portland, Oregon, launching a career in audit that would take him back to Salt Lake City, where he continued his work as an auditor with the same firm. He later stepped into the private sector as Chief Financial Officer for a large regional car dealership group, bringing sharp financial acumen to a complex, multi-location business environment.

In 1988, Jeff made the leap into public accounting, founding Thurman & Shaw in Salt Lake City. The firm relocated to Bountiful in 1997 and became Shaw & Co., evolving through several iterations as it grew and changed. In 2013, Jeff and his wife Rosanne answered a call to serve as LDS missionaries in Manchester, England. That chapter of service led to a significant transition — Reed Nielsen and Jon Shaw purchased Jeff’s practice, eventually building it into what is today Strategic Navigation Group, PC. Many of the clients Jeff brought with him in 1988 remain with the firm to this day.

Jeff’s influence on the profession extends beyond his own career. He and Rosanne are the proud parents of five children, four of whom have followed him into the accounting field, and they are grandparents to 17 grandchildren and great-grandparents to two. His family is both his legacy and his joy. Those who know Jeff describe him as a model of consistent work ethic, quiet integrity, and genuine friendship — a man who has always made the people around him feel like they matter.
