My 96 year old mother needed a new accountant because she stopped driving and wanted to find someone willing to come to her home. I spent half a day trying to find an accountant with good reviews willing to come to her home to do her taxes and couldn't find one until David Montague responded to me through Thumbtack. He was a little hesitant at first but when I told him my dilemma, he agreed to take the job. He scheduled a time to visit with my mother on a weekend and took care of all the details and tax returns. How many business professionals are you gonna find to come to your home on a Sunday afternoon? On top of it all, David charged my mom 1/2 of what she had paid in the past to have the same work done. I couldn't be more pleased or have better things to say about David Montague. I hope he will do the same for us again next year if my mom is hopefully still with us again for another year.

We are very glad to have found David as our new CPA. He is very easy to work with and responsive! He gets paperwork done quickly and has answered our many questions. He did an excellent job reviewing our previous years taxes and found errors that were unknown to us. We look forward to working with him. We would highly recommend!

Did an amazing and thorough job completing my late taxes and started them immediately as I needed them asap. Called right away and was extremely efficient and curteous. I will call him again and would highly recommend for tax preparation.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I typically charge more than other providers on thumbtack. I provide a more value added service identifying tax savings and providing faster response time than most.
Bookkeeping monthly rates are usually determined by the amount of monthly transactions and the number of bank/credit card accounts required to be reconciled.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
When I start working with a new client, I like to review the prior year tax returns to understand what is involved to provide a firm estimate for my services and to see if there are any tax savings that I can identify.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I maintain my NYS CPA license by completing the annual required education credits which is mandated by New York State.
