Mike Maksymiw

Executive Director, Aprio Firm Alliance

Mike Maksymiw quit his job as a partner at a CPA firm to pursue his goal of disrupting the areas of the profession that didn't make sense. Mike is a tireless advocate for value vs. time, family initiatives, inclusion & belonging, work / life harmony, and challenging the historical norms the accounting profession clings to. Mike and his wife Jen have two daughters, Sofia (19) and Julia (17). The four of them enjoy traveling and have set a goal to see all fifty states (they are at 32). Mike played baseball for 25 years, and he and Jen enjoy running - having completed several marathons and a bunch of half marathons, and all four of them love going to Disney.
