David R. Bartels, Inc. opened in Plantation in October 2023 with a simple idea: people deserve a tax preparer who actually reads their documents, explains their return, and picks up the phone in July.
David spent over fifteen years in corporate accounting and tax departments before deciding he'd rather sit across the table from a family or a shop owner than a spreadsheet of subsidiaries.
He started the practice from Plantation with a handful of neighbors and small businesses. It grew the old-fashioned way — by referral — into a team of four serving more than 600 households and 85 businesses across Broward County.
We've stayed deliberately small so that every client has a named preparer who knows their history, and so David still reviews every business return before it's filed.
