SENIOR TAX MANAGER, WITHUM
WHY: Cal Poly San Luis Obispo grad; fast-rising accounting expert for 10-plus years.
NOTABLE: Part-time faculty at Irvine Valley College. Told the Business Journal that the Employee Retention Credit (ERC) “is a hot topic discussion with our clients and has made its way to the top of the IRS’ ‘Dirty Dozen’ list of tax scams.”
QUOTABLE: “The IRS has issued several warnings to business owners to be weary of aggressive credit companies offering improper advice on eligibility and even urges the community to report tax-related illegal activities relating to ERC claims. Withum has started to see a noticeable uptick in the amount of IRS enforcement actions around the ERC over the past nine months. These IRS audits are exhaustive.”
