Matthew Kelly

My focus as Kalamazoo’s office managing partner is supporting our community and developing our great staff – two passions of mine. In my role as K-12 education practice leader, I’m responsible for setting the practice strategy, supporting the growing team, and ensuring our more than 200 educational institution clients receive top-notch service. I’m also the partner-in-charge of our commercial industry practice within the office.

I provide a wide range of services, including financial statements, benefit plan audits, reviews, and compilations, as well as tax and general business advisory services, and I’m part of our professional standards team. Many of my clients are family-owned and internationally owned manufacturing and distribution companies, middle-market privately owned construction companies, and K-12 school districts.

I give every client my undivided attention, because each client is important to me, and I want to make sure they feel valued. My aim is to provide them with service that goes beyond their compliance needs. And my relationships with my colleagues are just as important. They know me for being responsive, dedicated, and always available in case they want to discuss any concern, whether it be personal or professional.

I belong to the AICPA, the Michigan Associations of CPAs, the Michigan School of Business Officials, and the Colorado Association of Business Officials. I received my B.S. and my M.S.A. from Western Michigan University.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my wife and two daughters, as well as friends. In addition, I enjoy golfing, traveling, and cooking.
