Meri Schmidt, CPA | Tax Manager
Plante Moran, PLLC
Role: I manage tax engagements and serve as a technical reviewer where client’s taxes are concerned. Maintaining regular contact with clients throughout the year, I ensure clients stay aware of tax issues and opportunities. My goal is to be viewed as both a tax advisor and a business advisor.
Experience: I am a tax manager with over eight years of federal, international, and state & local tax experience. My background includes managing engagements for companies in the construction and real estate industries. I have experience working with a variety of different ownership models from owner-managed businesses to large private equity groups. My clients operate all over the United States. I specialize in providing innovative solutions for my clients, and I work to provide additional value through proactive and creative tax planning.
Fun fact: I love to travel, and I have been to four out of the seven continents. It is my goal to one day travel to Africa and South America. Maybe one day I will travel to Antarctica as well, but that continent is last on my list of travel destinations.
