Matt Slifka joined Ellenbecker Investment Group in January 2025 as a Tax Planning Associate.
After graduating from Bradley University in 2017 with a bachelor’s in music business, Matt spent almost nine years working in the music industry. It was during this time that he learned his aptitudes were best suited to the financial and administrative facets of his work. Spending six years in a small startup also fostered an interest in small business accounting and the role accountants can play in a new business’s growth. In 2023, Matt went on to obtain a bachelor’s in accounting from Southern New Hampshire University, graduating in December 2024. He obtained his Enrolled Agent designation in February 2026
Matt lives in Milwaukee with his wife Sarah and their cat Harriet. In his free time, you can find him cycling, watching motorsports or soccer, brushing up on piano or guitar, enjoying the outdoors, or finding new breweries to try.
