Our History
Mike Davidov, CPA conceived an idea of an innovative accounting firm back in the end of 90’s when he was involved in CPA firm selection at his employer at the time. Following his employer’s unique requirements and his own approach, Mike interviewed seven firms of different sizes using a twenty-criteria decision matrix that he developed specifically for this purpose. While the winner was ultimately selected, Mike made several important observations that led him to the thought of starting his own accounting firm that would make client satisfaction a top priority. The blueprint for such a CPA in Alexandria VA was created in 2001, and in 2003 the firm was launched.
Since 2003, Davidov & Associates CPA, Alexandria VA accountants, tax preparers and consultants have provided expert tax and accounting services to individuals, businesses and non-profit organizations in Washington DC Metro area and beyond, including Alexandria, Arlington, Falls Church, Annandale, McLean, Fairfax County, Washington DC, Prince George’s County MD, Montgomery County MD and other jurisdictions. Our goal now, as it was then, is to help our clients lead and enjoy a better and less stressful lifestyle by eliminating any and all of their tax and accounting concerns.
Mission
Our mission – and our goal – is simple: to help you, our client, achieve financial success through sound financial and business decisions. You can consider us your trusted partner … someone who has a vested interest in your success and prosperity. That is our mandate. In fact, we measure our own success, not in the dollars we earn, but in the extra cash you enjoy as a direct result of our efforts.
Philosophy
At Davidov & Associates, we embrace a unique “quality over quantity” approach, setting us apart from many CPA firms. Regardless of your size – business with over $1M in revenue, one-person firm, or individual – we treat every client as a VIP, focusing on your satisfaction to foster a long-term, mutually rewarding relationship. Our commitment is to work tirelessly to achieve this goal. We offer competitive rates that are often more reasonable than larger, traditional multi-partner CPA firms, and only slightly higher than those of tax preparation chains such as H&R Block and Jackson Hewitt. Additionally, we provide a 15% incentive for new clients returning in the second year, and a 20% discount for referrals, stacking atop any other discounts.
Our diverse client base includes 45% small businesses, 48% individual clients, and 7% non-profits, reflecting our capacity to efficiently meet a wide range of needs. We pride ourselves on delivering excellent service at a great price/value ratio in a friendly, approachable manner. We typically avoid hourly billing, opting for flat fees to ensure our work is never compromised by inflated hours. This policy, coupled with our accessibility via phone and email, ensures you get quick, direct responses, often from Mr. Davidov himself, without extra charges for short consultations. Since our inception in 2003, we’ve consistently adhered to principles of personalized service, value, and going the extra mile for our clients.
