Taxes for me are like a massive cloud of confusion and horror that Have proven constitutionally incapable of preparing for well, or taking on with any decent amount of focus or optimism over the years. David Bartolme is like the almighty clearer of storms, explaining anything I don’t get with extreme patience and graciousness. To say nothing of the fact that his communications are always super dialed and straightforward with impeccably clear and simple dummy-proof instructions, keeping me on track with prepayments and such. He’s also incredibly thorough, and offers thoughtful advice on my business that help us make wiser decisions throughout the year. I have engaged a half dozen tax preparers over the years for both business and personal taxes, and have never felt so at ease and in such capable hands as I do working with David. Trust me, he’ll be your last tax guy.

I'm an independent marketing consultant and I worked with David on my tax return and to clean up my books. From start to finish, the process was simple and effective. David took the time to understand my business so he could gear his recommendations to my unique situation. And he always went the extra mile to ensure I understood his advice and suggestions so I could make well-informed decisions and take greater control of my business's finances. His bookkeeper Carly was also very friendly, responsive, and communicative. I plan to continue working with David and his staff for all my accounting needs.

David helped us with a catch-up filing and was extremely helpful. This was a growing weight on our shoulders and we needed someone to help us navigate several big changes affecting our taxes. We also had a need to get this done quickly. David came through on all fronts. We had our taxes filed within a few days of first meeting with him and were pleased with how thorough he was in finding the best outcome for us. We'll be going back to David moving forward to avoid the stress from the start!

Working with David was one of the best choices we made for our consulting business and personal taxes. He's always really great about answering our questions and working with us to make sure we're making the best choices to maximize our savings. In the past, we've worked with accountants who have checked the box on helping us pay taxes but weren't strategic partners. David has been a great partner for our business and has helped us save thousands.

Is there a 6 star rating I can click? David is the best accountant I've ever worked with, hands down. He takes the time to fully understand your tax situation and offer solid strategic advice, always returning calls and emails immediately with thoughtful responses. His knowledge, commitment and follow through are stellar, and he takes great personal interest in his clients, and demonstrates real professional pride in his work.

I don’t think 5 stars is enough for Bartolme and Associates. I’ve been working with David for coming up on 2 years. In that time, my business has grown substantially, and in no small part due to David and his expertise. He is always professional, extremely knowledgeable, and very effective. He is able to explain complex tax issues in understandable terms and takes the time to do so.

This is the first year we've worked with David and we plan on continuing for the years to come. We had a complicated tax filing due to our move to OR but David completed this with ease! He is a great partner and I recommend him to anyone who needs a quality CPA!

I've worked with David and his team for years with personal and business taxes. He's great with questions, follow-up, and timely responses. Very creative with problem solving and helping you to realize your goals. Highly recommend if he's accepting new clients.

Thorough and communicative. Bartolme and Associates are a top notch team. They use digital communication and organizational tools effectively for everyone's convenience. David takes the time to educate you and help you make the best strategical decisions.
