He emphasizes simplifying the complexities of accounting and auditing for clients to ensure they understand the fundamentals behind the subject matter to support them in making sound business decisions.

Public + Corporate Accounting Expertise

Mike’s career has been defined by a passion for translating complex financial realities into straightforward, actionable insights. With previous experience of attest engagements for private investor-backed companies, he spent most of his public accounting career in the financial services practice. During his time there, he focused primarily on performing integrated audits of publicly traded companies, including financial institutions. Mike spent significant time at a “Big 4” firm and later in-house at a national bank. Therefore, he has unique firsthand knowledge of the rigorous demands of public accounting and the practical challenges of corporate finance. This dual perspective allows him to navigate regulatory intricacies while focusing on real-world business objectives.

Strategic Assurance Solutions

He collaborates closely with teams to bolster internal controls, refine auditing processes, and anticipate emerging financial risks. Also known for his approachable style and emphasis on clear communication, Mike ensures that even the most complex accounting scenarios are thoroughly understood and thoughtfully addressed. His strategic insights and personable approach create a foundation of trust that empowers clients to make confident decisions and achieve sustainable growth.

Outside the office, a proud husband and father to two girls, he loves spending time with his family, traveling, and learning new crafts, such as woodworking. In addition, he is an enormous sports enthusiast and a proud fan of SL Benfica, the Green Bay Packers, and the New Jersey Devils.
