Meet the Founder.
Karen Senkbeil, CPA, CGMA, EA
Managing Partner & Founder
With over 15 years of elite financial experience spanning boutique firms to the world's “Big 4” accounting firms, Karen oversees the firm's overarching vision. Holding a Bachelor's in Accounting, an MBA in Finance, and credentials as a Chartered Global Management Accountant (CGMA), she brings institutional-grade rigor to every engagement.
As a dual-licensed CPA and IRS Enrolled Agent, Karen commands an arsenal of over 60 advanced tax strategies. She serves as the primary architect for complex business structure setups, ERP system implementations, and meticulous corporate compliance, engineering strategies that legally maximize tax savings for her clients.
Beyond traditional accounting, Karen is an active commercial real estate investor, Mortgage Loan Officer, and co-owner of multiple apartment complexes. This hands-on entrepreneurial background allows her to act as a truly proactive financial partner, dedicated to helping fellow entrepreneurs and real estate investors achieve their American dreams.
Her commitment to uncompromising precision, unwavering discretion, and philanthropic leadership—serving as an active NGO Board Member and Treasurer—forms the cornerstone of the CPA FORTAX philosophy.
