FORT WAYNE, IN (April 1, 2025) – DuCharme, McMillen & Associates, Inc. (DMA), a leading corporate tax services firm, has formed a strategic alliance with Global Tax Management, Inc.

“Through our alliance with GTM, we will now be able to offer our clients access to a comprehensive suite of direct tax services, while dedicating our operational focus to our core property tax and transaction tax practices. The DMA state income & franchise tax team’s move to GTM provides a group of exceptionally talented and experienced professionals with tremendous career and financial opportunities in a direct-tax-focused practice that, importantly, is a 100% employee-owned company like DMA.
