In a brick building at the end of First Ave in the Short North, behind white, wooden doors are glass walled offices, modern furniture, and beautiful art. It might sound like a gallery, but it’s actually the sleek offices of Yankovich, Adelman, Johnson, and Stevenson (YAJS).

YAJS is a team of business advisors that provide fresh perspective to help solve business challenges. YAJS is a full service public accounting firm with clientele that range from small restaurants and retail stores to large public companies. With its core clientele consisting of small, local businesses, YAJS is a resource for growth through the entire business life cycle.

YAJS opened in September of 2007 after the four partners realized that there was a niche for small businesses that want to grow with accountants who have larger corporate experience. Frank Yankovich, Barry Adelman, Brent Johnson, and Mike Stevenson make for a perfect team, because they have unique, complementary professional experiences in both public & private accounting.

YAJS decided to move their offices to the Short North, because they liked the location. With its close proximity, it could be seen as a downtown firm while maintaining convenience for clients and on-site parking.

YAJS is open Monday through Friday, from 8a to 5p for all your growing businesses needs.
