Instructors
Technology can help organize and extend tax intelligence. It cannot replace the experience required to understand why a development matters or how it may apply to a real client.
Lee Reams Sr. is an enrolled agent, senior editor, and CTEC board member who has spent decades teaching practical federal and California tax law. He connects technical rules with the real return-preparation and client-advising questions practitioners face.
Mike Gleeson is Director of Tax Intelligence at CountingWorks, where he leads tax research and technical education. He previously served as a Tax Law Specialist in the IRS Office of Chief Counsel and covered federal tax policy as a Capitol Hill correspondent for Tax Analysts, publisher of Tax Notes. Mike brings valuable context to how tax law is written, interpreted, and applied to your clients.
