"I found out that how much money you make is not the most important thing in the world. Who you spend it with every day is." — Stan Jacobson to Mike Ross

Stan Jacobson is a former accountant and former Senior Vice President for Dreibach Accounting. After falsifying his credentials, he worked as an accountant for nine years before being fired. He currently works as a statistical analyst for fantasy baseball.

History

"I'm not some scam artist either. I did go to college. I just... couldn't afford to graduate. No one ever questioned it before because I'm that good with numbers."

―Stan Jacobson

Stan Jacobson was an accountant who was employed at Dreibach Accounting, handling the finances of half of Wall Street. As he was unable to afford to graduate from university, Stan falsified his credentials to secure his employment at Dreibach. A few years later, Dreibach's CEO, Tori, discovered Stan's fraud, but chose not to disclose it as he was financially useful to her.

In 2011, after nine years of working as an accountant, Stan began to investigate the Aberdeen Solutions shelf company, after being notified by a fellow co-worker, who had been unjustly fired, that the numbers did not add up. Aberdeen was being used to steal money from clients, and Tori fired Stan to hide her indiscretions, informing Pearson Hardman that his fraud was the sole reason for his employment termination. After convincing Mike Ross to look into Aberdeen, he was hired by Pearson Hardman as a consultant, where he was able to prove that Tori was using Aberdeen to steal money from her clients, including Pearson Hardman. However, as his lack of credentials were now made aware, Stan was no longer able to return to his life as an accountant, and admitted regret for his actions.

In 2014, Stan was called by Mike to pay him a visit in a park, where Mike asked Stan how he moved on with his life. Stan informed Mike that he was now a statistical analyst for fantasy baseball, and that while he was paid more in his job as an accountant, he did not know his co-workers' names whereas now his colleagues were his best friends. Notifying Mike that money wasn't as important so much as those you choose to spend your life with, Stan was curious as to why Mike felt the need to start over, only for Mike to reply that it was a long story and that he would tell Stan some other time.
