David Johnson

David specializes in tax planning, compliance, consulting and trust and estate planning. As the head of tax services, he stays on top of compliance and focuses on quality control. He serves closely held business owners in professional services firms, real estate, manufacturing and construction.

Inspired by an energetic instructor to pursue a degree in accounting, David joined the profession in 1990. He has experience with local and international public accounting firms as well as a large private real estate firm that developed and operated residential, commercial, hotel and retail projects. David is transparent with his clients, takes a practical approach and gets the job done right. His expertise in business, individual and trust tax law is valued in his client relationships.

David’s personal interests revolve around activities with his wife and son, which include skiing (water & snow), camping and spending time at their cabin. Much time is also spent participating in his son’s various activities, including being an active leader in his Cub Scout pack. David also manages to find time to tee off with friends at the weekly summer golf league, and sneak in some snowmobile rides during tax season. To relax, he prefers to get his hands dirty with home improvement and other maintenance projects.

I've seen a lot. My experience includes working in private industry, and at local and international public accounting firms. This variety helps me look at client opportunities and challenges from multiple angles and find the best solution."
