Conversations and profiles — interviews with tax professionals, newsmakers, and the people shaping the world of tax.
Two minutes isn’t a lot of time to talk about taxes. It’s even less time when you’re trying to get in zingers and tout your platform. That’s what makes debates both fun and frustrating. During the Vice Presidential debate, VP hopeful Paul Ryan referred to his tax plan but didn’t offer any specifics. There was…
This week, we head out to the midwest to meet our tax pro. Christopher J. Wittich is a supervisor in the tax department at Boyum & Barenscheer PLLP with offices in Minnesota (see how I totally didn’t mention the Vikings there and I could have?). Christopher also blogs for the firm at www.BoyBarCPA.com/blog. Here’s what…
I’ve mentioned before that one of my favorite bits about the GTKYT series is that it runs the gamut from attorneys to accountants to enrolled agents from all over the world and all stages of career life.

I’m not the only tax professional hooked on the Olympics this year. The next tax pro in my Getting to Know You Tuesday series, Bree G. Vopelak, has copped to watching the trials earlier in the season. When not cheering on Team USA, she works at a law firm, Hamilton | Vopelak P.C., in Grapevine,…
One of the interesting things about tax is that it touches everything – and nearly everyone. You can work in the tax field and be an auditor, a tax agent, an attorney or an accountant – or you can write about tax as a copywriter, journalist or blogger. While I’ve traditionally featured tax attorneys and…
So you know how you’ll read about someone in real life who sounds really cool and then you meet them and you’re so disappointed because that’s not at all how you imagined they were like? That’s not at all what happened when I met the next person in our Getting To Know You Tuesday series….
