John D. Davis, CPA/ABV, CVA, CFE realized early in life that the backbone of any business is accountancy. In 1988, he founded Davis & Company to provide local companies and individuals with the accounting services they need to establish a solid foundation for their financial lives. We met recently with John and Elizabeth Davis, CPA, partners in both business and life, and listened as they outlined the services Davis & Company provides;
Davis & Company is a premier accounting practice specializing in traditional accounting services, business valuations, and forensic accounting. Our services include accounting for businesses and individuals, in addition to trust and estate planning, and tax compliance, preparation, and planning. We appraise businesses for any purpose, such as sales, purchases, mergers, gifting, and estate planning.
We have become very well known in the Cleveland area for both business valuation and forensic accounting abilities. As forensic accountants, we assist companies as they investigate instances of internal fraud, theft, and embezzlement. The combination of business valuation and forensic accounting is a very valuable tool in cases of divorce litigation and fraudulent conveyance matters involving a bankruptcy or secure party sales. Due to our in-depth expertise in these areas, we are frequently called upon to offer expert testimony in court.
Davis & Company employs three Certified Public Accountants, but we offer more expansive services typically found only in much larger firms. Due to our size and structure, our clients benefit from competitive rates coupled with a high value relationship founded on our ability to perform in-house business valuations, forensic accounting, and to assist with mergers and acquisitions as the need arises. By becoming involved with our clients early in their financial lives, we are capable of guiding them through each phase of their future financial growth.
Over the years, I've purchased and sold several other companies, enabling me to gain a unique perspective on the overall day to day issues my clients face. This experience includes not only the bookkeeping and accounting activities, but also daily business operations, business marketing, employee relations, government compliance, and interacting with banks and other members of the financial community. With this wealth of life experience, I am able to offer my clients good advice in both financial and operating matters.
Our track record for client retention has been excellent. We serve numerous families and family businesses that have spanned three generations. One advantage of starting my practice at a very young age has been the opportunity to grow with my clients and see their families through many business transitions.
Davis & Company uses their wide range of accounting services and experience to provide personalized assistance with all your accounting needs. Call Davis & Company today, and don't forget to tell them The Advocate sent you!
