Experience

1. Tax Accounting Manager

   Burkhart Peterson

   Jun 2023 — Present · Houston, TX, US

   Burkhart Peterson is a regional CPA firm that supports the tax planning, mitigation and preparation needs of clients. They have grown by both referral and strategic acquisition means. My role with the firm is to assist in the leadership of a recently acquired CPA firm located in Houston Texas. This includes reviewing of the tax returns as well as preparation in some cases. The role is developing and proves to be a challenge that is perfectly suited for my broad expertise in client, employee and tax & accounting matters. I look forward to the path ahead Burkart Peterson has set before me.
