David Kupferman, CPA

David has completed my taxes for the last three years and done a terrific job. He and his staff are very knowledgeable and experienced for more complex tax return filings. David’s experience in the industry and with audits allows him to provide professional, efficient, and high quality advice.

For the last few weeks, my mother has presented me with documents from «legitimate» tax companies giving her the chance to settle a tax lien for a few hundred dollars. Fortunately for her, she has a smart and savvy daughter who can aggressively resolve her looming tax «problem,» which is simply finding out the businesses are fraudulent.
Hey! That’s what it says on this letter from David Kupferman, CPA, who submitted a letter to her about how the IRS is going to pass a law punishing people with five years in jail for not filing up to three tax returns! He can also speak seven languages. I can speak seven languages too, I can say «One two three four five six seven eight nine and ten» at parties and people are very impressed. I’m sure they’re very impressed with David Kuperman, CPA’s ability, too.
He is also a TOP RATED CPA firm on Unilocal,and even provides a screenshot of three almost anonymous reviewers and one guy named James who all gave him five glowing stars about how the the IRS are predators who hate people like them and their particular business. It must be hard being a pig farmer these days, as apparently Jennifer N. was so hard pressed she had to sell one. She’s supposed to be bringing home the bacon, not selling it! What’s going on?!
These reviews are not shown on the front page, though, which is super weird because his letter makes it look like they’re easily accessible. Also, David Kupferman seems to think that anything over one star is considered Top Rated so in that case that one place that gave me food poisoning can go back to being a top rated fast food restaurant everyone should go to.
David Kupferman must be known in the CPA world as The Flash, because apparently he doesn’t get enough work being a STELLAR CPA by sending out letters based on publicly recorded liens to poor women who are wondering why so many people are contacting them about things that have already been settled with the IRS.
As noted in your letter, all reviews are real and you’re proud of them — I hope you’re proud of this one!
PS: I have line edited your letter and any number under 10 should be written out, and you don’t need three spaces in between each sentence.

I have to agree with the two other reviewers here. He started out good the first year, but prices kept going up and up we were audited and ended up paying him more than if we just paid what they were asking. When we got a bill several years ago he added a charge of $ 500 just to scan our documents in even though he electronically submitted the return. Needless to say I now use H&R Block’s software to submit my taxes and only spend $ 45/​year and haven’t heard a word from the IRS.

David has done my taxes for 15 years. I have been audited several times because of the nature of my businesses, and i have never had to pay the IRS a single CENT! And yes, i want my accountant to be «abusive» and «argumentative» with the IRS. Screw the IRS. The real issue is the WIN/​LOSS column. David 3, IRS 0. Any questions.

I have known David since 1996 and he has helped deal with me and my business accounting. He is like a super-​CPA. David is a connector, strategist, and therapist.
His experience with start-​ups, creative firms, and fortune 500 companies gives him the insight needed to help build a roadmap for the future.

Way overpriced. I needed to get my business’s accounting straightened up, and I came to David Kupferman on a friend’s recommendation. I knew what his rates were — $ 300/​hr — so I expected to pay a chunk of change. And the final bill didn’t surprise me either. What did surprise me was the shoddy work. The end result of his accounting left me owing 5 figures in taxes; a couple of other CPA’s I’ve spoken to pointed out the fact the he didn’t take advantage of some basic accounting practices that would have zeroed my tax liability. I’m sure he’s an ace in other areas if he can charge those rates, but certainly was not worth the price in my case.

Revised review: 2÷23÷08
Amending review — 5 stars to 2 stars.
In short — when your CPA advises and recommends that he is to intercede with the IRS on your behalf for any future developments regarding the work he is doing for you, it’s not the greatest experience to have to call the IRS yourself only to find that your CPA has been recorded as being «abusive» and «argumentative» with the agents there.

Disclaimer: David Kupferman has strong ties to my place of work which I was not aware of at the time when I chose to engage with him.
This firm only takes difficult or tricky tax cases — if you have fairly straightforward taxes and are looking for someone else to quickly take the hassle off your hands, David Kupferman’s office is probably not for you.
The short story — I recently found myself in an embarrassing situation where I had to redo taxes from 2003. David’s office quickly demonstrated that they had tons of experience with my predicament and gave me great directions on what to provide. Once I got all the required paperwork in to his office, my matter was completed within a week. Truly amazing.
A note — they’re not… inexpensive.
