About Matthew Luckmann

Growing up, Matt didn't have to look far for inspiration: his neighbor was a partner at John A. Knutson & Co., PLLP. That early look at CPA life — plus sage advice from his parents and excelling in his accounting courses — led him to join the firm as a junior staff member in 2006. He became Director in 2019 and Partner in 2024.

A self-described generalist, Matt oversees financial statement and GAAP reporting engagements and is also knowledgeable on the tax side, serving assurance, construction, corporate tax, individual tax, and real estate clients. He presented on ASC 842 lease accounting — key changes and implementation considerations in 2022. He's like a hawk when it comes to looking out for his clients' best interests, and rarely gets flustered, even against a deadline.
