Former congressman and tax chief Dave Camp has taken a job as an adviser forPricewaterhouseCoopers,the accounting and consulting firm announced Thursday.
PwC, as the company is also known, said that the former Ways and Means chairman would work in its Washington National Tax Services unit on federal policy issues.
Camp will “help PwC clients navigate the dynamic legislative and regulatory process,” the release announcing his hiring said.
“Dave Camp is a luminary in his field, and we are honored that he has chosen to join PwC,” said PwC chairman Bob Moritz.
“His vision regarding the critical need for tax reform as the catalyst for U.S. competitiveness has paved the way for the changes our economy needs over the next few years,” Moritz said.
Camp, a Republican who represented Michigan, was chairman of the Ways and Means Committee from 2011 until his retirement at the end of last year. In that role, he was responsible for matters relating to taxes, trade, entitlement programs, and other critical policy areas.
Camp led the effort to push for an overhaul of the U.S. tax code, last year releasing a draft plan that ultimately received little support because of the tough cuts it would have made to tax breaks enjoyed by many industries and interest groups.
Nevertheless, the plan was welcomed by many analysts as a marker for future reform efforts.
Camp was replaced as chairman by Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin.
