INB Expands Tax Services with Acquisition of TPH Strategies

Springfield, IL – July 2026     INB is pleased to announce the acquisition of TPH Strategies, a Springfield-based tax firm, further expanding the bank’s ability to provide comprehensive financial services to clients throughout Central Illinois.
 
Previously known as Tax Partner Holdings, the firm was founded more than 40 years ago by the late Don Fuener. Manny Mikaelson acquired the practice in January 2023 and rebranded it as TPH Strategies, continuing its long-standing tradition of personalized tax and accounting services.
 
Since then, TPH Strategies has served more than 600 clients across Central Illinois, including individuals, small businesses, S-corporations, partnerships, nonprofits, and estates. The firm provides tax preparation, tax planning, IRS representation, and bookkeeping services.
 
While Mikaelson was proud to continue the legacy Don Fuener built over four decades, he also recognized that many clients were looking for broader financial guidance alongside their tax services – from retirement and wealth planning to estate strategies and more advanced tax planning.
 
“For the last three years, my commitment has been to serve my clients and help them navigate whatever comes next,” Mikaelson said. “When I started talking with INB, it was clear we share the same client-first philosophy. Joining forces means my clients keep the personal relationship they've always had with me, while gaining access to the broader financial resources of a respected, locally rooted institution. It’s the best of both worlds, for them and for me.”
 
Mikaelson, a financial professional with Osaic Institutions, Inc., has joined INB as a Tax Associate with INB Wealth.  He will continue providing tax services while connecting clients with additional financial resources available through INB, including trust, banking, and, where appropriate, investment services offered through Osaic Institutions.
 
“At INB, we’re committed to building long-term relationships by helping clients through every stage of their financial lives,” said Chris Parks, Osaic Institutions Investment Advisor Representative, Senior Vice President, INB Wealth. “We're excited to welcome Manny because he brings tremendous expertise that strengthens our ability to providing clients with access to additional financial resources.”
