In the role, Voigt will oversee 414 professionals and guide the overall strategic direction and growth of the accounting and consulting firm’s two Michigan locations.

He joined KPMG in 1995 and became a partner in 2008. Specializing in business valuation, Voigt has supported large clients in the areas of acquisitions, divestitures, and tax planning. He also previously helped grow the regional EVS practice and Detroit tax function.

Voigt holds a BA in accounting from Michigan State University. He is also a CPA and is accredited in valuation by the AICPA.

“I am excited to lead a talented and dedicated group of professionals who have the skills and expertise to help clients solve a broad range of challenges such as business and digital transformations, mergers and acquisitions, restructurings, operational improvements, and numerous other issues,” Voigt said.
