Prior to his service in the House, Mr. Netram served as tax counsel and budget adviser to a senior member of the U.S. Senate, during which he authored bipartisan bills on tax and retirement issues. Mr. Netram was previously a manager in the national tax department of a Big Four accounting firm, where his practice focused primarily on tax planning for mergers and acquisitions. He has also covered international tax and corporate governance issues for Tax Analysts, publishers of Tax Notes, a leading source of news and commentary on tax policy.
