Mr. Michael Maksymiw, Jr. CPA, CGMA, MSA

I quit my job as a partner at a CPA firm to pursue my goal of disrupting the areas of the profession that don't make sense. I am a tireless advocate for value vs. time, family initiatives, inclusion & belonging, work / life harmony, and challenging the historical norms the accounting profession clings to. My wife Jen and I have two daughters, Sofia (16) and Julia (15). The four of us enjoy traveling and have set a goal to see all fifty states. I played baseball for 25 years, Jen and I enjoy running - we've completed several marathons and a bunch of half marathons, and all four of us love going to Disney. I am the leader of Aprio Firm Alliance, where future oriented firms convene to discuss challenges and solutions for running their firms. I am also the immediate past Chair of the CTCPA Board of Directors, a 2010 alumnus of the AICPA Leadership Academy, and past member of the Women's Initiatives Executive Committee and other task forces / committees.
