I have 40 years of experience in accounting and business administration. I was the chief financial officer in two large local organizations, and am a licensed certified public accountant. I've taught accounting and understand how frustrating this subject can be for many students.

I have served as the Chief Financial Officer and Chief Administrative Officer in two large multi-million dollar local organizations. I have extensive experience in budgeting, accounting and financial reporting. I have had the pleasure and challenge of managing others, as well working with boards of directors regarding organizational issues.

Dave makes you enjoy accounting and is very patient. He makes sure you understand the root of the problem and not just how to solve it. I have an upcoming intermediate accounting exam and let me tell you, after my lesson with Dave, my confidence has been restored. My only regret is that I wish I had met him sooner.
Andrew A. from Baltimore, MD
I reached out to Dave for help on studying for the FAR section of the CPA exam. About 2 weeks into studying for the exam, I found myself struggling to grasp the material (even with the Becker review course). I decided to reach out to a tutor to assist me with studying. I decided to go with Dave based on his great reviews and his experience in accounting. Dave was able to assist me by demonstrating a different methodology on how accounts interacted with one another. This approach helped me better visualize how accounts were being affected by a transaction and how other accounts were affected as a result. I used this methodology for the remainder of my review course and on the exam itself. The end result: a passing grade of an 82 and a big sigh of relief that one of the hardest sections is now behind me. I would definitely recommend Dave for help with a accounting course in school or help with a section of the CPA.

Dave is very perceptive. I had a good deal of difficulty articulating my needs, but he patiently worked with me and identified the best way to help me. A natural teacher.
Rick S. from Lutherville Timonium, MD
Mr. Dave is a genuinely good guy. He was able to arrange his schedule so he could help me in a crunch, and made sure to get the stuff I needed help with prior to the lesson so that he would be well prepared. Overall a good experience, I'll definitely use him again.

Katherine M. from Towson, MD
I am so glad to have found Dave! I had been struggling through Managerial Accounting 202 and had an upcoming exam for which I needed concepts to be clarified. Dave was easy to get in touch with, was very accommodating of my schedule, and had flexible hours to meet. Furthermore, he takes the time to prepare for your specific tutoring lesson topics to make sure the time you spend together is utilized efficiently. Dave explains each concept clearly, and despite his many years of experience, he can give simple explanations and dissect each problem in a way that anyone can understand. I highly recommend Dave to any student who needs help with their accounting course!

I'd recommend him to anyone struggling with accounting or wanting to improve in accounting related subjects.
Harvey V. from Baltimore, MD
I called Dave to help me with Accounting. I really was confused and didn't even like the subject. Dave explained things to me that my teacher never did. I really am thankful that I called him and passed my course. I just started the next level of accounting and immediately called Dave. He is a wonderful tutor.
David R. from Abingdon, MD
Dave does and excellent job breaking down the concepts found in Financial Accounting.

Over the last few weeks I have met with Dave to study for a accounting placement test. He covered a variety of topics and broke them down to be easily understood. He was very patient and always excited to help me learn. I would recommend him to anyone that needs help with accounting! PS. I passed my exam! Thanks Dave!
Robin J. from Columbia, MD
I have used a couple of tutors from WyzAnt. Dave is by far the best one I have had the opportunity to work with. Not only is he extremely intelligent in the world of Accounting and other areas as well, but he is patient with my struggles to understand concepts and problems. He also is flexible with his schedule, which is extremely important to someone who works full time and has a family! Many tutors may know their subject matter, but being able to relay it in a way that makes sense is what a great tutor is all about and that is Dave. He also does not make me feel dumb. He boosts my confidence, so that I feel I can tackle any problem. I highly recommend Dave to anyone! Thanks Dave!
Spencer D. from Lutherville Timonium, MD
Dave was an amazing tutor. Not only did he help me understand the class better than my teacher, but he helped me pass the class. I worked with him for two weeks and learned the subject better than how my teacher taught it. I will definitely recommend Dave as a tutor and will be using him again when I take the next accounting.
Lester E. from Baltimore, MD
Dave is a very well mannered and professional tutor. His style of explaining the given subject matter was easy to understand, very detailed, and opens doors to think outside the box. I would recommend him to anyone that is in need of a good tutor. The one thing that stood out the most about him was his ability to break down a problem and show the working and that problem. He is very excellent.
Courtney B. from Hampstead, MD
My two tutoring sessions with Dave have been helpful and encouraging. He knows accounting inside and out, is generous with his time, and brings a positive energy to the subject. We've reviewed present and future value functions, capitalizing interest for assets under construction, and non-monetary exchanges. Dave is able to explain not only how to account for these financial transactions but also the reasons why they are accounted for in particular ways. I'm glad to have him as a tutor/coach/resource as I work toward a new career in accounting.
Jessica W. from Baltimore, MD
Dave was very helpful in my preparation for an intermediary accounting exam. He helped me to apply the theories to real world situations so I had a better understanding of the material. With Dave's help and clarification of the subject matter, I was prepared for my exam. I will definitely contact Dave in the future for any additional help I may need.
Sheree M. from Baltimore, MD
Dave is such a great tutor that I hired him THREE TIMES! I am NEW to accounting and I am a math-a-phobic. Dave is a true professional. He started at square one with me and walked me step by step with understanding the various topics within financial and managerial accounting. He came prepared to each tutoring session and created helpful examples that were easy for me to understand. All I have to say is if you are looking for a tutor for anything related to accounting and finance then DAVE is your guy!
Lois W. from Lutherville Timonium, MD
I just had my first tutoring session. Dave is friendly, knowledgeable, easy to work with, and an excellent tutor. I scheduled more visits.
