Tricia Van Vliet, CPA


Tricia has nearly 20 years of experience with national public accounting firms where she developed her specializations in the areas of ERISA financial reporting and investment securities. She recently joined Hungerford Nichols CPAs + Advisors after completing 8 years as a director in the national audit and quality control departments of a national firm. As a lead technical resource, Tricia developed audit and accounting guidance, resources and training programs and was often consulted by audit engagement teams, smaller accounting firms as well as client personnel. Her passion for technical research and teaching has been a tremendous asset in working with auditors and management of both public and non-public companies to translate ever-evolving standards in a meaningful and practical way.

She is very excited about her role in the Hungerford Nichols Employee Benefit Plan Services practice. Tricia also takes great pride in the opportunities she has been given to share her knowledge and expertise with the profession through numerous national AICPA and state CPA society conference speaking engagements, as well as serving on the AICPA Technical Standards Subcommittee and MICPA Employee Benefits Task Force. She earned her BS in Business Administration & Accounting from Aquinas College and her CPA license through the State of Michigan.
