Janine brings about 30 years of tax and accounting experience to Norris Lutkewitte PLLC. Her goal is, and always has been, to bring professional knowledge and traditional service to all clients so as to assist them in being financially successful in their personal and professional matters.



Not long after her undergraduate studies, she co-founded and managed a tax preparation and accounting firm in Oakland, CA. During her years with that firm, she was also able to obtain a Ph.D. in business administration, a certificate in human resource management, a CA real estate license, become an IRS enrolled agent -- and raise two children.



Eventually, drawing on additional entrepreneurial spirit, she solely founded another firm in Oakland which focused on comprehensive tax and accounting consultancy for individuals, small businesses of many types, and non-profits.



Her move to the Seattle area arose out of a desire to be closer to her two adult children. In her spare time, she enjoys relaxing with family, friends, and her dogs. She also has been known to approach recreation with the same intensity as her professional career, as can be corroborated by a number of orthopedists. Her favorite outdoor activity involves (to the chagrin of the orthopedists) careening down mountainsides on a snowboard!
