Micah Wheat

I’m proud to serve on the Tax Leadership Team overseeing our Illinois and Ohio offices. In this role, my primary responsibilities are client service and team development. Additionally, I serve on our service industry group leadership team focusing on business services and professional organizations. I advise and assist my clients in the implementation of tax strategies, including methods of accounting, multi-state tax planning and compliance, planning for liquidating events, and year-end tax planning. I also manage complex compliance engagements by coordinating with the overall engagement team, including assurance, National Tax Office, and tax solutions group members.

With over 24 years in the accounting industry, I’m known by my clients and colleagues for my straightforward approach to tax consulting and my ability to effectively communicate even the most complex matters. My goal is to be a true advocate for my clients.

I have a B.S. in accounting and a B.B.A. in finance from the University of Kentucky, an M.S. in taxation from the University of Cincinnati, and a J.D. from DePaul University.

When I’m not in the office or serving clients, I enjoy golfing, traveling, and spending time on the lake with friends and family.
