About Amazing Grace Accounting
Numbers You Can Trust. People You Can Count On.
At Amazing Grace Accounting, we believe sound financial stewardship is the foundation of every thriving organization, whether that's a growing small business, a mission-driven nonprofit, or a church community serving its congregation. We provide the accounting expertise our clients need, delivered with the integrity and care they deserve.
Our Mission
We exist to give our clients clarity and confidence in their finances, so they can focus on what matters most: running their business, serving their community, or advancing their mission. We treat every client relationship as a partnership built on transparency, accuracy, and trust.
Our Values
Integrity First We hold ourselves to the highest ethical and professional standards in every engagement. Our advice is honest, our numbers are accurate, and our clients always know exactly where they stand.
Genuine Care We take the time to understand each client's unique circumstances, whether that's a nonprofit's grant compliance requirements, a church's contribution tracking, or a small business's cash flow needs. You're not a file number to us; you're a partner we're invested in.
Excellence in Service From bookkeeping and financial statements to compliance reporting, we bring precision and professionalism to every task, every deadline, every time. We keep our clients' books accurate and audit-ready, and prepare organized, tax-ready financials so their CPA can file with confidence.
Faithful Stewardship We understand that many of our clients are stewarding resources entrusted to them by donors, congregations, or investors. We take that responsibility as seriously as they do.

Meet the Owner
JD Wells has been drawn to problem-solving for as long as he can remember, a trait that pointed him toward numbers early on. He earned his Bachelor's degree in Accounting from St. John's University, launching a career that's now spanned 14 years across Accounting Manager, Controller, and fractional Controller roles. That experience is the foundation of Amazing Grace Accounting, a firm built around JD's belief that great financial management comes from staying current, staying curious, and staying close to the people you serve. He specializes in helping clients get more out of every dollar through smart expense management, and he's not afraid to bring new tools and technology into the mix to keep clients ahead of the curve.
JD's roots run deep in Anoka, Minnesota, where he coaches the Anoka Bucs town ball team, serves on the board of directors for Anoka Halloween, and co-owns Go Green Sports. JD and his wife Megan live in Ramsey, MN with their two children, Grace and Luca, the reason behind Amazing Grace Accounting.
