Braun & Associates began in 2007 when founder Thomas Braun saw an opportunity to help others preparing taxes, as a compliment to his career as a CPA. Word-of-mouth referrals began flowing in and soon, Braun & Associates became a full time business venture. Today the firm services both businesses and individuals alike with a clear mission in place: to provide unparalleled communication and customer service to arm clients with the information needed for timely and informed business decisions. A completely transparent firm, clients value understanding exactly what’s being done, as well as why. This clear flow of communication between client and CPA has become the most important aspect of Braun & Associates, and is undoubtedly what sets the firm apart.

Tom began his career at a big four public accounting firm focusing on financial statement audits of public companies in the banking and manufacturing industries. Prior to founding Braun & Associates, Tom worked at a consulting firm specializing in forensic accounting, business valuations, and turnaround consulting for middle market companies. Tom earned a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration from Central Michigan University and a Master of Science in Accountancy from Walsh College. He is a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) licensed in the State of Michigan, Certified in Financial Forensics (CFF) through the AICPA, and a Certified Valuation Analyst (CVA) through the NACVA.

“I’m proud of how Braun & Associates communicates with our clients. When you treat every client as if they’re a close friend or even family, you’re as invested in their success as they are.” – Thomas Braun CPA/CFF, CVA
