David D Clements CPA PC

I requested a easy 1040 with just w2s and he wanted to charge me two hours of work at 235 per return. Even when I first arrived at his office, I asked for copies of my w2’s before leaving his office and he seemed very angry that I had even asked for them. I was a new customer. He seems quick to make a buck and not friendly at all. When I said I couldn’t afford it, he packed up my papers and handed them to me and said I don’t think we can help you (but not in a nice way).

I’ve used David for my taxes for the past three years now and every time he’s been great. His rates are really reasonable, his office staff are friendly, and I always end up getting a much bigger refund than I had expected, plus he is very skilled at telling me what kinds of things might be flagged for auditing and preparing me for the coming year. I have two businesses and am a contract employee for another, so my finances are pretty complicated. Even so, David charged me less than anyone I used before, he keeps impeccable records, and he always keeps me in the loop.
David was recommended by several of my friends after one of the «big name» firms lost all of my paperwork, and I’m glad I switched. I have to say that it’s also great to know that my accountant is available throughout the year should something come up outside of a typical tax season. Perhaps best of all, though, is that David is just a friendly guy. He runs an interfaith meditation group and does a lot of service work, and it’s nice to know that my accountant is a stand-​up guy who’s active in the Tucson community.
One final note: last year I got my information to him too late, and he had to file an extension for me. I was prepared for a huge hassle, but he handled it beautifully, as if it wasn’t a big deal at all.
