Mike Minihan
Mike joins BX3 after more than 20 years as an international tax attorney and entrepreneur. He has seen virtually every aspect of international taxation, having worked for the Internal Revenue Service, in private industry, and for Big Four public accounting and tax consultancies KPMG and PwC. Mike was a founding partner of WTP Advisors, a boutique international tax consulting firm that specialized in assisting the world’s largest companies with the thorniest of tax structuring and compliance issues. Over the years, Mike has also founded or co-founded several other tax focused start-up ventures. After the successful sale of WTP in 2014, Mike joined the international income tax practice of Ryan, LLC, a specialized tax service firm, where he stayed until his early retirement, at the age of 47. Mike exited retirement earlier than anticipated to work with promising startups seeking to grow and secure capital. Utilizing his experience as an entrepreneur, attorney, and taxation expert, he is helping guide BX3’s clients through highly nuanced legal, financial and tax issues. Mike holds both a BBA (Finance) and a JD from Pace University, and an LLM in Taxation from New York University. He is admitted to practice law in New York and Connecticut, with admission pending in the District of Columbia. His entrepreneurial feats were chronicled in Fortune’s “David vs. Goliath” segment, and he has been a frequently used source by the Wall Street Journal on matters related to international taxation. He has written numerous articles and lectured copiously on taxation issues, and has also served as a visiting professor at Fairfield University’s Dolan School of Business.
