CulverGroup CPAs & Business Advisors

Duane S. Culver, CPA, MST

I help you reduce your tax liabilities to the lowest allowable levels and ensure your compliance with all US and Michigan tax codes.

Following in my father's footsteps, I wanted to help people and businesses with their finances so I began preparing tax returns in 1988. I continue to learn and update my skills and knowledge for the betterment of those I help. My key to success is to work hard and do what I say I am going to do. I enjoy helping people achieve their goals. I strive to help others plan their finances and save on taxes. My desire is to make a difference in someone else’s life.

The Role of Education
Education plays a big role in being able to provide leading-edge guidance to my clients. I earned my Master's Degree in Taxation, which was necessary to provide expert, up-to-date tax strategies for my clients.

On the Forefront of Issues
By staying on the front lines of federal and state accounting and taxation issues, I can help my clients minimize their overall tax liabilities and legally avoid paying certain types of taxes.

On a Personal Note
Outside of work I enjoy spending time with my wife, Mari-Clare, and our four daughters, Elizabeth, Emily, Elise, and Evelyn. When the weather is nice, I enjoy getting out on my bike to see the countryside. I rode over 1200 miles last year.
