Our Professional Team of Tax Professionals, CPAs and Enrolled Agents

Brian Lorencen has over 25 years of experience in the professional accounting world. He attended Michigan State University and was accepted into the MSU Program in Professional Accounting. This program allowed select undergraduates to graduate with both a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree upon graduation. Brian completed the program and graduated in 1998 with a B.A. and M.B.A. in Professional Accounting. He is proud that while attending MSU full-time, he also juggled up to 3 jobs at a time to assist him in paying his way through college.

Brian began his career at one of the top 10 national accounting firms. After a few years of starting his climb up the corporate ranks, he realized he would not be happy pursuing success in that world and decided he wanted to work towards something more meaningful and fulfilling in his career. Lothamer Tax Resolution provided him the opportunity he was looking for to help individuals and businesses needing tax help. Brian joined Lothamer in 2001 and recently celebrated his 20th anniversary with the firm.

Brian relishes the constant problem-solving and strategic planning needed to be a successful taxpayer representative. He understands that tax problem-solving does not allow for a “one-size fits all” approach. Big or small, simple or complex, rich or poor, no two tax problems are alike, and every day at Lothamer brings on a new challenge. After all these years, he still looks forward to the next day and the next person the firm can help.

In the 20+ years he has been with Lothamer Tax Resolution, he has assisted thousands of taxpayers in resolving 100’s millions of dollars in tax liabilities.
As Vice President and C.O.O., Brian has now taken on a leadership role at Lothamer, helping to guide the firm toward its goal of being the premier tax resolution firm in the U.S.

Brian lives in Michigan with his wife, three children, and their standard poodle, all of whom he dedicates his free time to wholeheartedly.

Brian is a Licensed C.P.A. and Enrolled Agent.

He is a member of the MICPA, AICPA, and NAEA.
