ABOUT DAVID STEBENNE TAX CONSULTING

Practice & Experience

Just like you, I want to earn a living so I can take care of my family, enjoy life and spend time doing the things that really matter to me. Ok, except I like spreadsheets and flow charts and you may not.

Look, you have lots of choices here - the CPA firm located in the Georgian manor downtown, the Franchise in the strip mall with the mascot dancing on the sidewalk, or you can hire me. Heck, you could do it yourself. But if you want to save time and money, and do the things you like to do, clearly, I'm your best choice. Lower cost than that office with all the mahogany, much more personal than the strip mall, and a boatload of integrity and experience comes with me, naturally.

I grew up in a family of small businesses. Practical knowledge and experience that I can put to work for you. Oh yeah, and I took some accounting courses in high school and college. And I've earned the IRS's highest credential, Enrolled Agent. Big deal.

I've been in financial services since 1994. My passion is financial planning, and helping people to understand how to make the most of their time, money, and relationships in order to live the life they want. And guess what one of the biggest obstacles of financial independence is? Right. Taxes.

I can't promise you a tax free life, but I can commit that when you engage me to help you with your tax return or your comprehensive financial plan, I'll go the extra mile to ensure you make the most of your money. And I'll keep the spreadsheets mostly to myself.

Experienced Consulting

Since 1994 I've been helping families and small businesses understand their financial situation, budget and invest effectively, and plan for financial independence. My tax practice is part of that service offering because I know taxes are a significant financial burden, and the cause of angst for many taxpayers. I transform the complex tax code into simple strategies that ensure you are compliant with your tax obligations, but pay no more than required.

WHY DAVID

Ability to Stay

One Step Ahead

I'm independent. So I'm not bogged down by quotas, corporate meetings, and the like. I work only for my clients. As a result, I can invest time and money to access the best technology solutions and content that allows me to bring effective tax strategies to my clients.

Knowledge That Can Serve Your Needs

2018 Tax Reform is a great example. It is a massive change in tax law, anything but "reform," yet you need someone that can dig deeper, beyond all the headlines and political angles, to understand the law's impact on your tax situation. Within two weeks of its signing, I was advising clients on how to take advantage of 2018's tax changes in 2017.

About DAVID

When I'm not crunching numbers, arguing with IRS or researching tax code for clients, I'm somewhat normal. I split my time between RI and NH and I'm very comfortable to be alone or surrounded by friends and family. I enjoy being outdoors and active, so we hike, bike ride, ski, and play sports whenever we can. I also have two very cool dogs -  Emma and Peak, who I love to play with. But anyone who knows me knows my #1 passion is boating, and my favorite place on earth is Block Island. What a life!
