We are confident that his appointment to this important committee will result in true value for the AICPA’s 377,000 members, while simultaneously strengthening the ‘gateway of connectivity’ for our clients with policy makers influencing the tax world.”

“It is an honor to be appointed to the IRS Practice & Procedures Committee,” said Adams. “I’m looking forward to contributing to the profession in this new role, while learning from industry experts from across the nation.”  

Adams joined RSM McGladrey in November 2010 after spending nine years with the IRS, the last five in Washington, D.C. where he served as senior advisor to the Commissioner and Deputy Commissioners of the Large Business and International division (formerly Large and Mid-Size Business division).  Before that, he was senior industry advisor to the Director of Heavy Manufacturing & Transportation.
