Message From The Founder

As the founder of Bell Black & Co., I have always believed that mission-driven organizations deserve operational excellence. Too often, passionate teams are constrained by rigidly antiquated systems, limited resources and a quest for perfectionism.

Bell Black & Co was launched to help nonprofits operate more efficiently to confidently navigate inevitable challenges.

Our goal is simple: to supplement your team with expertise. Whether a staffing need or a needed project, we work with you to customize the solution.

At Bell Black & Co., we are not just another service provider. We believe in building real partnerships based on capability, trust and transparency. Your mission matters, and we are here to help you achieve it with greater ease and confidence.

What Our Clients and Colleagues Say

In my capacity as the Treasurer of Special Olympics Washington, I worked with Jane, who served as the organization's CFO. As a board member, Jane provided me, and the other board members, with great comfort in knowing that not only was I getting timely and accurate historical information, but also that she was looking ahead into our future. Jane is the consummate finance professional, bringing so much more to the organization than just historical information.

Jane Repensek is an exceptional collaboration and a trusted source of guidance. She has a rare ability to see both the broader strategic landscape and the finer details at the same time, ensuring that no element is overlooked. Her thoughtful, holistic approach allows her to develop creative and practical solutions, whether navigating complex union negotiations or introducing innovative ways of doing business that others might consider impossible. Working with Jane is both inspiring and highly effective. I consider myself fortunate to have gotten to know and worked with Jane.

Jane brings over 30 years of experience as a financial executive, including service as both CFO and COO. I had the privilege of working with her on the Board of Mutual of Enumclaw, where she served as Chair of the Audit Committee. Jane is thoughtful, detail-oriented, and exceptionally well prepared. She approaches complex and challenging issues with clarity and courage, always focused on achieving the right solution.

“I worked with Jane Repensek during her tenure as CFO and COO at Seattle Opera, where her leadership shaped both the financial and operational backbone of the organization. She brings a rare combination of strategic clarity, disciplined execution, and deep respect for the artistic mission. Jane carries that same rigor and long‑range thinking into her current role as CFO of the Seattle Symphony and into the boards she serves. She is a leader who builds trust, clarifies priorities, and drives mission‑aligned results.”

Jane combines intuition, intellect, and strong ethics to deliver phenomenal results. Experienced at the C-suite and board level in both corporate and entrepreneurial settings, she has a rare ability to ask the right question at the right time—driving clarity and exceptional outcomes.
