Meet James!

Tax Senior Associate

James Hoebeke is a Tax Senior Associate at EHTC, focusing on business and personal tax compliance. He graduated from Hillsong College in 2019 and Aquinas College in 2022, and is a Grand Rapids Chamber of Commerce Member. James began working with EHTC in 2021. He chose a career in finance after studying abroad, where he did his own taxes for both countries and realized that he enjoyed the process of learning tax law and how it applies to individual returns.

A typical day for James includes preparing and reviewing income tax returns, income tax provisions for audited financial statements, and foreign compliance information returns for clients. His favorite part of working at EHTC is the culture and workplace environment, and he considers the most important aspect of his job at EHTC to be helping clients and other team members achieve their fullest potential.

James’s best piece of advice for anyone looking into the business and finance field is to read a wide variety of material—professionally related and not—and build relationships with a wide variety of people. “Every book and every person can teach you something new,” he says.

Outside of work, James loves to spend time reading, playing and writing music, working on his project cars, and watching TV and movies with his wife.
