He also has extensive experience in representing clients before the Internal Revenue Service and other taxing authorities.
Jim really enjoys working with his clients’ other professionals (attorneys, bankers, investment advisors, etc.) as part of their team of advisors. This often leads to engagements providing litigation support services, including testifying in court. Jim believes it’s crucial to listen and understand his client’s goals, plan to meet those goals, yet give them flexibility in uncertain times. “We must consider all aspects of a client’s personal and business situation.”
Jim is a member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the Michigan Association of Certified Public Accountants. He has been a contributing writer to Tax Advisor magazine and interviewed for radio and television regarding current tax issues. Jim’s 15 minutes of fame came twice when he was interviewed on television by Fox 2 Detroit as a tax expert. Very fun!
