I have 22 years of experience and specialize in the field of taxation, with specific knowledge of corporate taxation, tax practice and procedure, and individual taxation. I have published on such topics as the effects of taxes and financial accounting on mergers and acquisitions; the effects of tax policy and tax planning on organizational form; capital structure, security prices and the effects of deferred taxes; and book-tax differences on security prices, credit ratings, and investor trading. I have received three national research awards, rank in the top 5% of the most prolific accounting authors over the past 50 years, co-authored three tax texts, and have provided some consulting for three of the Big 4 accounting firms.
