GET TO KNOW CTA
With a laser focus on expertise, quality, and relationships, CTA strives to deliver tax credit results you would expect from a large firm, while providing the focused attention you would get from a small one. Our goal is to provide you with expert advice, accurate results, and a lasting relationship.
“CTA has been a tremendous help for Tamarack Grove and what we do each year. My firm is all about relationships and they run theirs the same way.”
- Brian Sielaff, CEO Tamarack Grove Engineers Research + Design Client

Since 2003, Mike Woeber and Dawson Fercho have been delivering Research tax credit services to companies in all industries across the United States. In 2014, we realized that highly specialized tax services had become more transactional and less client focused, prompting us to form our own company, CTA. Our new company was founded on the principal of becoming an extension of our clients’ tax advisory team by bringing measurable value to them. That value is delivered when our clients realize a tax benefit for a reasonable cost.
