TANDRA JACKSON

As Office Managing Partner (OMP), Tandra Jackson’s responsibilities include helping to lead the growth and success of the firm’s audit, tax and advisory practices in Houston, as well as ensuring that KPMG’s clients receive exceptional service from the firm, and that partners and employees view KPMG as a great place to work and build their career.

In her role, Tandra coordinates KPMG’s community involvement activities and ensures the firm’s professionals are “paying it forward” in their communities. She is a member of KPMG’s African American Network National Advisory Board.

Tandra has spoken at forums such as: KPMG’s Global Energy Conference, KPMG Insights, National Women’s Council Houston Conference, Rice University Women Leadership Conference, Texas Society of Women CPAs, and the Women in Leadership Symposium.

She serves on a number of charitable boards contributing to the health, education and wider economy of her fellow citizens.

“It’s kind of in my family’s DNA to support your community. From a young age we were taught that we should help others who may have greater needs than us. Among other things, I volunteered in women’s shelters, which certainly opened my eyes to different experiences.”

Tandra is a firm believer in following your passions – hence her involvement as a founding member of the Houston chapter of CEOs Against Cancer, a network of American Cancer Society executive supporters.

“A few years back my husband was diagnosed with cancer, so I can relate to the distress this disease causes to families and friends. Health and wellness are very important to everyone, and I’m glad to offer my services to ensure that those impacted by cancer get the kind of support and comfort when it’s most needed.”

Tandra has BS degree from LSU and an MBA from University of Houston. She is also involved with the Houston Zoo, National Association of Corporate Directors (NACD), Greater Houston Partnership and the Ronald McDonald House.
