Michael W. Carney joins Vrakas with over 20 years of experience in public accounting and corporate leadership that focuses on serving clients across multiple industries. Having founded and built MWC Accounting Company, Michael focused his practice on providing small business accounting including financial statement creation and client analysis, along with tax return preparation. His goal was to ensure his clients received the information and care they deserved to successfully operate their business.
At Vrakas, Michael will continue to specialize in small business accounting and tax compliance for privately held, for-profit companies across a variety of industries. Michael will operate out of Chicago working alongside Andy Kamphuis. As co-managing directors, Michael and Andy will be responsible for growing Vrakas’ Midwest client base while developing and growing a team of professionals dedicated to next-level client service.
“We are excited to welcome Michael Carney to Vrakas,” says Bradley J. Weckwerth, President. “Michael is a talented accounting professional with a strong entrepreneurial spirit and will be a great addition to our growing team.”
“I’m thrilled to join the talented team at Vrakas,” says Michael W. Carney. “An opportunity like this doesn’t come around every day to be a part of a fiercely independent firm that puts clients first, working alongside colleagues who are experts in their fields. I am extremely lucky and excited to spread the Vrakas brand in Chicago and surrounding markets.”
With the strategic onboarding of Michael Carney, Vrakas will also welcome six talented professionals from MWC Accounting to the Chicago team: Marilyn Bialas, Cara Bogehegn, Jessica Pitts, Marisela Rodriguez, Stephanie Bush, and John LaVoie.
