The Firm

The person who signs your return answers your call.

Birchwood was founded in 2009 on an unfashionable idea: a CPA firm small enough to know your business by heart, and disciplined enough to run like a firm ten times its size.

We serve about a hundred Michigan businesses and families, on purpose. Growth that would break the promise above is growth we skip.

The people

Marta Kowalski

Marta Kowalski, CPA, MST

Partner · Tax

Marta spent nine years in the tax group of a national firm before concluding that spreadsheets are better company at a smaller scale. She leads every tax engagement at Birchwood and reads Tax Court opinions for fun, which the rest of the office has agreed to stop teasing her about.

Focus S corp strategy · Multi-state filings · IRS representation

Dev Raman

Dev Raman, CPA

Partner · Accounting & Advisory

Dev ran finance for a manufacturer before joining Birchwood, which is why his advisory sessions sound like operations meetings rather than accounting lectures. He is the author of the monthly owner notes and defends their one-page limit fiercely.

Focus Cash forecasting · Pricing · Succession planning

June Okafor

June Okafor

Client Manager

June keeps every engagement moving: portals tidy, deadlines visible, and nobody chasing paperwork in April. Clients routinely try to hire her away. She stays.

Focus Onboarding · Payroll operations
