Background

About Lynn Eckhardt

As a student I enjoyed working with numbers. My logical progression after high school was to further my education and I decided to pursue accounting. My junior year in college I took my first tax course. I liked the idea that taxes are always changing. The tax laws are complex and there are gray areas which provides many challenging opportunities. I believe that as a society, we should pay our fair share of taxes. However, I thrive on creating tax solutions that allow one to pay the least amount of taxes that are legally owed. There is nothing to be gained by overpaying taxes. I am a results-focused Senior Corporate Tax Professional with proven management and technical skills within Fortune corporate tax departments. I have extensive experience working with internal and external professionals at all levels in tax compliance, audits, acquisitions, integration, restructuring and process improvements. I am a proven leader with strong communication and interpersonal skills who develops global tax strategies focused on increasing shareholder value.
