ABOUT
Aukema & Company, P.C.
Our Why
In January of 1997, one of our new clients, Mike, received a call from his accountant asking to meet about his year-end results. He was instantly concerned. No accountant had ever asked to sit down with him before. He was used to receiving forms in the mail, signing them, and moving on. But the meeting changed everything.
Instead of treating his financial statement like routine paperwork, we walked Mike through each part of it, showing him how to use his numbers to make better decisions throughout the year. We promised a mid-year check-in, answered his questions, and made sure he left with confidence — not confusion.
For the first time since starting his business, Mike felt clear about his financial picture and certain about how to strengthen it.
That experience reflects exactly who we are. We’re here to educate, equip, and empower our clients, not just file forms.
A Different Kind

At Aukema & Company, we believe accounting should give you clarity, not complexity. We take a relational approach, meeting with clients, explaining their financial statements, and helping them apply the information to real decisions. Our goal is simple: make your numbers useful.
We stay ahead of tax law changes so clients benefit early. Our team has led the way in strategies like NEXUS filings, updated R&D credits, Michigan service tax guidance, and the Michigan Business Tax. We study new laws quickly and help clients adjust their systems to minimize liability and stay compliant.
Proactive Tax Strategy,

Leveraging the redefined federal R&D tax credit before most firms, securing meaningful refunds and annual tax reductions.
Getting clients ready for the Michigan Flow Through Tax by understanding the law early and helping adjust their accounting systems.
