Meet Our Tax Team
Matthew Markoff, CPA
Managing Tax Partner
After nearly a decade of working in the Public Tax world, I decided to start my own firm. I took the knowledge I gained throughout the years and decided to do something a little crazy- To actually focus on client care.
I specialize in individual (1040’s) and business (S-Corp’s, Partnerships, C-Corps) taxation and consulting. I can handle engagements of practically any kind. I have experience with returns of all types, sizes, and nearly any industry- from your basic individual return to Ultra-High Net Worth tax clients, and from your normal “Mom & Pop” S-Corp/Partnership to a multi-tiered $100M+ company filing in 30+ states.
What sets me apart from other CPAs is that I focus on providing peace of mind to my clients through answering any and all questions, taking the time to explain the “Why’s” and “How’s”, and making sure they get every single deduction and credit they’re due. Tax strategy and optimization are my strong suits and I really do care about my clients well-being. When I hear that a client is finally able to get a good night’s sleep again, I know I’ve met my goal.
Here, I may work with numbers all day, but my clients are NEVER treated like numbers themselves.
