Mike Woeber is the President and Co-founder of Corporate Tax Advisors, Inc. and is based in the CTA corporate office in Huntsville, Alabama. Mike began his career in 1989 working on the auditing and accounting team with Ernst & Young in Birmingham, Alabama. He focused on financial statement audits of publicly traded manufacturers, technology, and healthcare companies. After two years in audit Mike joined E&Y’s tax group and moved to their Huntsville, AL office. It was during his early years in Huntsville that he began advising privately held businesses on a variety of accounting and tax matters. This included financial statement audits, business tax preparation and individual tax preparation. It was during Mike’s 15 years as a tax partner with a regional firm that he began focusing on the research tax credit incentive.

In 2014, Mike and a group of close associates formed Corporate Tax Advisors, Inc., with the goal of forming a national business that was not a “traditional CPA firm.” The purpose of CTA, is, as it always has been, to operate as a specialty tax consulting firm focusing solely on assisting companies in identifying potential tax credits and unique tax strategies. These include research & development, renewable energy, and employment tax credits.

With more than 30 years of public accounting and tax planning experience, Michael is a tax partner at MGO. He’s served businesses in multiple industries, including hi-tech, consumer product, software, biotech, life science, healthcare, manufacturing, construction, professional service, and nonprofit.
Michael’s knowledge surrounding the Federal Credits and Incentives Tax has earned him the reputation as a national leader on the topic. Over the years, he’s conducted more than 450 research credit studies for companies in various industries and served as a representative before the IRS and state taxing authorities to support and defend numerous taxpayers’ research credit claims. In addition, he has helped clients save millions in taxes consulting on tax incentives related to domestic production, accounting methods, federal and state grant programs, and energy and “green” tax incentives, including energy-efficient building incentives.
