At MGA, we know that accounting is about more than just numbers; it’s about people, relationships, and building something meaningful together. Whether it’s helping clients navigate complex challenges or fostering growth within our team, we believe success is built on connection.
For Mike Camp, finding a Firm that shared these values made all the difference. His career path took a few unexpected turns, but ultimately, he found himself at MGA — a place where he could grow, contribute, and be part of something bigger than just the work itself.
Mike’s journey into accounting wasn’t a straight line. Drawn initially to craftsmanship, he realized over time (and, in his own words, after a few less-than-perfect DIY carpentry projects) that his true strengths were in problem-solving and analysis. That realization led him to pivot into business and eventually accounting — a decision that set him on a new professional path.
But getting there wasn’t easy. His first experience in public accounting didn’t live up to expectations, as the culture lacked support, training was nonexistent, and leadership didn’t invest in its people. Mike knew he needed more than just a job; he needed the right environment to grow.
That’s when he made the leap to MGA. From there, everything changed.
For Mike, the most fulfilling part of his job isn’t just the technical side of accounting; it’s the people, the mentorship, and the relationships that make the work meaningful.
“There’s a human side to accounting that people outside the industry don’t always see. I love training and mentoring people, helping them grow in their careers. That’s what keeps me excited about this work.”
At MGA, accounting isn’t just about compliance. It’s about collaboration and connection. Mike thrives in an environment where he can help others succeed, whether guiding newer team members or breaking down complex tax strategies for clients in a way that makes sense. And while technical expertise is critical, he believes communication is just as important, which is at the core of MGA and what sets us apart.
Our team at MGA is full of names and faces you know and trust, like Mike. The heart of what we do goes way beyond the numbers; it’s about creating genuine relationships and building a culture where professionals like Mike don’t just work — they thrive.
Now approaching his ninth year at MGA, Mike has no doubts that he made the right decision.
“The work we do here is challenging and rewarding, but what really sets MGA apart is the people. I came from a Firm where I felt like just another employee. Here, I get to help shape how we operate. I have a voice, I get to help build the team, and I work with people who genuinely care about what we’re building together.”
Mike’s story is a testament to what MGA stands for — a place where people matter, where mentorship is a priority, and where accountants don’t just process numbers, but build relationships and careers that last.
