Management

Susan D. Cunningham, Partner
susan.cunningham@marcumllp.com

Susan D. Cunningham is a Partner in the Tax Advisory Services group. She has more than 15 years experience providing a wide-scope of services including planning, consulting, structuring, research and tax compliance. She is often engaged by large and small company owners for advisement on complex business issues and performs consulting projects for venture capital firms and large corporations. Earlier in her career, Ms. Cunningham developed an expertise providing retirement and employee benefit services to closely-held businesses and high-net-worth individuals.

Although Ms. Cunningham has extensive experience working with businesses in a variety of industries, she has a niche for assisting real estate clients and is a member of the Firm’s Real Estate Services group. Most notably, Ms. Cunningham provides structuring, tax planning and other services for several well-known commercial real estate companies in the Philadelphia area.

Ms. Cunningham’s in-depth background uniquely qualifies her to spearhead intensive training seminars on new and current tax law topics and tax software programs for clients and staff. As a key player in the Firm’s internal training program, she assists with the development of continuing education for professional staff and serves as a mentor to young staff members.

Since joining the Firm in 2005 as a Tax Manager, Ms. Cunningham has been given increasing levels of responsibility. She was promoted to Senior Associate a year later and named Partner in 2010. Previously, Ms. Cunningham was a Tax Manager at a regional accounting firm.

In addition to her professional affiliations, Ms. Cunningham is actively involved in her community. She serves as the Treasurer for a local youth group and hosts school fundraisers.
