Based in San Francisco, CA, Chou is an experienced tax executive with nearly two decades of experience in public accounting and asset management. Her practice focuses on serving clients in the venture capital, private equity and fund-of-funds sectors.

Among the Northern California alternative investment fund community, Chou’s technical expertise, strategic vision and innovative mindset have earned her recognition as a leader in venture capital tax and fund management.
“When CohnReznick opened its San Francisco office in 2025, we made a commitment to the Bay Area investment community to deliver the talent, resources and tech-enabled strategies that would drive value for them throughout the investment life cycle,” Angela Ty, CohnReznick’s San Francisco market leader, said. “Jenn’s deep understanding of the Bay Area’s ecosystem and culture significantly expands the client service capabilities of the team, locally and nationally. We are delighted to welcome Jenn to CohnReznick.”
