Our Amazing Team
We operate as a team to service our clients. When you work with M Squared, you get us all.
Moses Man
Moses founded M Squared Tax PLLC the day his first child was born (you can ask him why later). It was a life-long dream to own and operate his own practice and he is grateful he gets to do this every day now for a living.
Prior to starting M Squared Tax, Moses worked at various CPA firms, from the Big 4 to local firms. He also did a brief stint as an assistant controller at a hedge fund and quickly realized it was not for him. Valuable experiences and connections were made during those years.
Moses enjoys taking on a practical and impactful approach to taxes. If you ask him, the most rewarding experience is being able to explain complexed tax laws so that a 6-year old can understand them.
Professional Stuff:
Licensed CPA in Washington State
BA in Accounting from Seattle University
Masters in Taxation from University of Washington
President – Seattle Trust and Estate Planning Chapter
Frequent speaker at the Washington Society of CPAs
Moses has a love for the great outdoors. A trail run in a crisp morning in Central Oregon is probably the best form of therapy for him.
He has three young kids and enjoy spending every minute with them when they are not crying or fighting.
