Summer joins the BDCO tax team remotely from her home in Montana. After experiencing 4 previous tax seasons, she has a passion for tax planning and still gets excited about IRA to Roth conversions as a tax-saving strategy. (Be sure to ask her.) A graduate of North Dakota State University, Summer majored in accounting and minored in fraud investigation and found her way to accounting by accident. She was headed towards a career in law enforcement until she took that first accounting class and discovered a new passion. When Summer isn’t focused on taxes, she is an avid animé fan and appreciates the teachings that are delivered by its profound characters. While she had the good fortune of spending a number of her childhood years in the beautiful country of Bahrain, her ideal vacation destination is Japan during the cherry blossom festival. Summer is a CPA licensed by the Montana Board of Public Accountants.

Michael Fahlikman brings a depth of experience to his tax position at BDCo. Originally from Queens, New York, Michael is a graduate of Queens College of the City University of New York where he holds a Bachelor of Arts in Accounting and Information Systems. He has had experience working in both corporate roles and public accounting firms which has given him a wealth of insights into the needs of businesses of all kinds. His title reflects his role at the firm and his passion for the animals at the Wake County North Carolina SPCA shelter where he is a trained volunteer. You will find him spending most of his free weekends there with 4 or 5 dogs at a time. We are glad he chose to pursue accounting as a career rather than zookeeping, which was his aspiration at one time. Michael’s favorite place is Asheville, North Carolina where he enjoys wine tasting at the Biltmore and exploring the scenic trails of the Blue Ridge mountains. Michael is a CPA, licensed by both the the New York State Board of Public Accountancy and by the North Carolina State Board of CPA Examiners.
