Personal Details

Bio

Martin (he/him/his) is the CEO and founder of Revel CPA, a Chicago-based accounting practice with clients from coast to coast. With two musical parents and a love of theater that started in high school, Martin's roots are deeply creative. When that creativity merged with a passion for business, the story started writing itself.

As a result, he set up Revel CPA back in 2019 to support the growth of creative entrepreneurs, and amplify their impact.

Martin came to the US when he was two months old, leaving half of his family behind in Poland. And he’s often reminded of how much his family sacrificed to get him to where he is today. He’s passionate about supporting entrepreneurs who use business ownership as a way to upset systemic imbalances, to narrow wealth and income gaps, or to support underrepresented communities.

Although he’s a serial entrepreneur, Xero Ambassador, and has served on a number of boards, Martin is most proud of his three kids (and everything they teach him!). If he’s not spending time with the family or the Revel team, you’ll probably find him noodling around in the basement music studio, slowly perfecting BBQ skills, starting a new woodworking project, or out on the Harley.
