Michael T. R. Martin was born in 1982 and is from Phoenix, Arizona. He is a trusted, highly responsive accounting professional serving individuals, small businesses, and organizations with clarity, integrity, and long-term perspective. Known for combining deep industrial management expertise with clear communication and dependable execution, Michael helps clients navigate bookkeeping, tax compliance, and financial decision-making with confidence.

In 2006, Michael earned his Bachelor of Arts in Business with an emphasis in Accounting from Trinity International University, following foundational studies in college algebra at Phoenix College. During his undergraduate years, he gained early leadership experience as a Resident Assistant and completed internships in both corporate finance and public accounting, including tax and audit management intern work with a CPA firm in Chicago. Professors consistently recognized him as among the most capable and analytically strong students they had taught. He is a member of the Delta Mu Delta International, Phi Sigma Pi National, and Phi Theta Kappa International Honor Societies.

Upon graduation from Trinity, Michael worked as a Consultant with Robert Half Inc. Management Resources in Dallas, Texas, where he provided accounting and finance management-support / advisory services to client organizations across diverse industries. In this role, he developed a strong reputation for responsiveness, adaptability, and technical competence while working in fast-paced, deadline-driven environments.

In 2009, Michael founded Martin & Co., LLC, where he began providing senior-level project professional services in the accounting and finance fields, including chief financial officer, controller, senior financial analyst, internal auditor, business systems analyst, and tax preparer, with a specialization in complex income tax return preparation. His work focuses on financial clarity, governance, and sustainable growth—helping owners understand not just compliance requirements, but the financial story of their business.

In 2012, Michael pursued advanced graduate education alongside his professional career, earning both a Master of Science in Accounting (Certification Preparation) and an MBA in Business Intelligence and Analytics Management from DeVry/Keller Graduate School of Management, graduating with distinction and induction into Delta Mu Delta International Business Honor Society. His graduate education emphasized advanced studies in federal taxes, tax compliance, tax planning, applied statistics, analytics, financial modeling, governmental and not-for-profit accounting, and management decision-making strategies. As a graduate student whose interdisciplinary interests include industrial engineering management, variable frequency drives (VFDs), electric motors, and high-pressure pumping systems, while working in a Controller Consultant capacity at a high-pressure mist system manufacturing company, Martin designed and implemented a VFD-driven pump and motor assembly capable of maintaining a stable 1,000 PSI operating setpoint.

In 2015, Martin formed Infinity Management LLC, which delivers comprehensive management and consulting services to government and commercial clients. The firm specializes in program oversight, project execution, and strategic planning, providing tailored solutions to improve operational efficiency, risk management, and organizational performance. Services include administrative support, program management, technical consulting, and process optimization, all designed to meet client objectives with measurable results. The company is committed to excellence, innovation, and responsive service delivery in every engagement.

In 2019, he later pursued doctoral coursework in a Doctor of Business Administration (DBA) program at Walden University, where his research focused on doctoral theory and practice of organizational leadership. His scholarly work culminated in a qualitative research study examining employee retention from the perspective of certified accounting executives.

Lastly, he serves the community as a professor for a bible college, teaching general education math, which integrates applied algebra, finance, taxation, and practical decision-making.

Based in Scottsdale, Arizona, Michael is also a devoted father to three sons—Mikah, Elijah, and Levi. Outside of work, he enjoys golf, sports card collecting, attending live sporting events, and supporting charitable and nonprofit organizations.

Michael has been my tax guru for years. He's extremely detailed, efficient and extremely communicative. I hate doing my own taxes, so having Michael take care of me, with kindness, has been worth every penny (and he's extremely reasonable with his pricing).
