Since 1984, Gilbert CPAs has carved a unique path by bridging the gap between numbers and the human beings behind them.

At the core of Gilbert’s mission is a dedication to providing comprehensive accounting, tax and consulting services tailored to the specific needs of its clients, including Keaton’s Child Cancer Alliance, a local nonprofit offering vital support to children undergoing cancer treatment and their families.

“Pediatric cancer patients and their families face immense emotional and logistical challenges throughout their journey,” says Jessica Alonso, executive director of Keaton’s, “To help address these critical needs, we offer family-centered navigation services including travel solutions, nutritional aid, financial assistance, mental health support and educational resources. We help create positive childhood memories through joy-filled experiences while fostering resilience of the youth and family members directly impacted.”

“Highlighting the work of organizations like Keaton’s is a natural choice for us,” says Sarah Ellis, Gilbert’s chief financial officer and shareholder — and one that has personal significance. “During my daughter’s battle with severe aplastic anemia, it was organizations like Keaton’s that made the most profound impact. It wasn’t just about medical treatments. It was the blankets, the arts and crafts, the sense of care that made a world of difference for our daughter.”

“By partnering with Gilbert, our organization ensures financial credibility with integrity, transparency and professionalism, which supports the sustainability of the organization’s vital mission.”— Jessica Alonso Executive Director, Keaton’s Child Cancer Alliance

Through their involvement with nonprofits like Keaton’s, Gilbert CPAs transcends the traditional image of financial firms. They
exemplify a commitment to social responsibility and community engagement, proving that financial expertise can be a powerful tool for positive change. In doing so, they redefine success not just in terms of numbers, but also in the lives touched and transformed by their work.

“It’s really all about the people,” Ellis says. “It’s easy to lose a sense of humanity when you’re working in a world of numbers. It’s easy for it to feel transactional. But the work we do here, the 23 years that I’ve spent here, have shown me that there’s so much more to it than just the numbers.”
