One of Michael’s favorite things about being an accountant is his day-to-day life is filled with variety. For Michael, that often comes from the different types of clients he gets to work with, all with their own unique backgrounds and stories. An excellent problem-solver, Michael gets fulfillment from unpicking tangled issues, leaving his clients in a better place to make sound financial and tax decisions. When he’s not working with numbers, he’s busy making snacks for his lovely children or weightlifting. He’s also proudly in the role of treasurer for a non-profit that strives to eradicate poverty in the Ann Arbor area. Finally, if you want to get on Michael’s good side, always bring hard candy caramels (they’re his favorite).
