Jill Eberhart's first part-time job during college was as a bank teller, which reinforced her fondness for math and natural ability with numbers. She had entered Colorado State University to pursue a degree in human development but changed her mind after realizing she could have the best of both worlds as an accountant.

Jill joined Kennedy and Coe, LLC's Agriculture group in 1996 and became a member with the firm in 2007. Previously, she was an auditor for Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu, one of the largest accounting firms in the world and one of the Big Four auditors. Jill's primary responsibility with Kennedy and Coe centers on estate and succession planning for agribusinesses. She also plays a heavy role in staff development and firm resources.

Not only does Jill enjoy helping clients find solutions, but she also enjoys camping, a hobby that once took her on an outward bound wilderness trip. She spent three days rock climbing, rapelling and white-water rafting alone in the Utah desert surrounded by foot-long lizards. Her adventurous nature has also taken her on an acrobatic plane ride in northeastern Colorado complete with loops, rolls and drops.
