Here's what our clients have to say about us
“I was introduced to David while dealing with an accounting issue involving one of my startups. We had hit a wall and he jumped right in, identified the problem and recommended a solution. I was impressed how quickly he understood what was going on and helped us remedy it.”
Brian YeakeyPrivate Investor & VP, Inner Light Ministries
“After working with the same accountant for 25 years, upon retiring she recommended David French. As I pivot from starting companies to investing in companies, I need a CPA who can help me think strategically about the implications of my investments. David French has been a great value-add as an adivsor and consultant.”
John ConstantineSerial Entrepreneur & Investor
“There is no shortage of CPAs in Austin, but it’s hard to find one that has the depth of experience with M&As, joint venture, closeout reconciliation and tax strategy that David French has. We were grateful to find a single partner boutique firm that offers no-bullshit advising to help us navigate and grow our business ventures.”
