I have little knowledge about american tax returns, as I am originally from Europe. I used to do the online programs for tax return, which were ok, but never helped me to get any relevant tax returns and I was often not sure if I filled in things appropriately. When a friend recommended David Prothero, I was first reluctant, wondering if it would even be worth going through an accountant, given my previous returns.
He handled everything perfectly, communication via email, phone and in person worked flawlessly, he took care of all my files, helped me with things I didnt understand and even provided me with information about how to plan my retirement funds better. Everything was done swiftly, and this time I even got taxes back!

5 stars Christine K Customer since 2012
I know he looks out for my needs as a client, a senior and a woman alone. His professionalism is caring relative to IRS tax related matters and CFL guidance. He cares about his clients and solvency. Because of him, I work harder to give him as much information to aid my financial care which includes medical and unknowns. Much appreciation. I recommend all people to have someone like David with. an attorney who can aid in other matters. This guidance recommended to me later in life.
5 stars Andres P Customer since 2020
We are always so pleased with our experience with David and his team. They have been preparing our taxes for many years and David has acted as a sounding board for other financial questions and decisions. It brings so much peace of mind to know that our taxes are done to the highest standards so that we are paying our fair share (but not more than our fair share!).

I informed the office that I was hoping for a quick turnaround on my tax return this year as my spouse needed some specific information from it. David completed the work in record time, which was very much appreciated. As usual, all members of the staff were courteous and helpful. Thanks!

Going into my 13th tax season with David and his Team. They're just really nice people, personable, knowledgeable, professional, competent. David is also a wonderful sounding board for all my (crazy) investment ideas, a kind of financial counselor... I've benefited greatly from all our conversations over the years. I whole-heartedly recommend David and his Team for their CPA Services.
