As Director of Tax Operations for Wood Investments, Michael is responsible for managing and overseeing all tax-related activities for the company's real estate properties. This includes ensuring compliance with local, state, and federal tax regulations, preparing and filing tax returns, and managing tax audits. Mr. Rich will work closely with other departments to ensure accurate and timely tax reporting and to minimize tax liabilities.

Prior to joining Wood Investments, Michael established his tax practice in 2015 with the intent of serving small business owners, given the multitude of tax and accounting-related issues they encounter. He provided consultation and planning around the tax implications of proper entity selection, retirement plan setup and contributions, fixed asset acquisition, R&D tax credits, and forward-looking tax projections. 

Prior to establishing his own firm, Rich was a Senior Tax Accountant with Smith, Linden & Basso (which has since merged with Windes) for nearly four years. Rich graduated from Chapman University in Orange, California, with a Bachelor of Business Administration in Finance and Marketing. Rich is a Certified Public Accountant.
