Staff Accountant

My name is Michelle Hare, I am the newest member of the team at Senter, CPA.  I am excited to be here and would like to share a little bit about myself, so you can get to know me better. 

I am a lifelong Michigan resident. After graduation from Birmingham Seaholm High School, I moved to Ypsilanti to attend Eastern Michigan University.  While attending EMU, I was very active in student government and worked at St. Joes in Ann Arbor in the Pediatric Urgent Care. After graduation, I started my career at American Axle and Manufacturing.  After 12 great years at AAM I moved on to work for the family business.  

My husband, Matt, and I moved to Clarkston four years ago with our two dogs.  We really enjoy the community and have wonderful neighbors who have become like family.  Matt and I are dog lovers and we also love to travel.  Below we are pictured before going to the top of Zugspitze, the highest mountain in Germany and snorkeling in The Great Barrier Reef off the coast of Queensland, Australia. Also pictured are our two senior dogs, Gunnar and Charlie.

Besides travel, I enjoy exercising, reading, knitting, creating and preparing unique plant-based recipes, volunteering and spending time with my family and friends.

I am looking forward to working with you; I will strive to provide you with excellent service and exceed your expectations.

Should You Consider a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) From Your IRA? Pros and Cons for 2025

If you’re age 70½ or older and have a traditional IRA, you may have heard about Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCDs) as a way to support your favorite charities while potentially reducing your tax bill. With recent changes in the law, including new options for split-interest entities and inflation adjustments to QCD limits, it’s a good time to review the benefits and drawbacks of this strategy.

Why and How We Assign Our Team to Your Account

At Senter CPA, we believe that great accounting isn’t just about numbers—it’s about relationships, communication, and expertise you can rely on. One of the questions we’re often asked is: “How do you decide who works on my account?” We love this question because it shows that clients value the people behind the work. So, here’s a look at why we assign the way we do, and how that benefits you directly.
