Planning before Preparation
In many ways, Davidson Accounting Company is an exception to the industry norm for tax preparation organizations. We cultivate an atmosphere of collaboration designed to support the interests of our clients. Our goal is to put every aspect of tax planning and preparation into the hands of an eminently capable professional. We are happy to work with trusted advisors already in place, or to refer work to specialized colleagues. We do not operate on volume, but rather focus on the holistic financial wellbeing of each individual client over the long term. The result is a comfortable relationship of trust based on advocacy, stability, and genuine common interest.
We are a forward-thinking firm delivering transformative tax planning.
