We make it our goal to comb through your financial records to make sure you’re not missing out on any deductions while legally minimizing your tax burdens.

What our clients say: Testimonials

I have been a client of DSM and Associates Inc. for quite sometime.  I have received outstanding professional service.  They have always followed up with me, to ensure I understand every detail of my tax prep.  I would recommend them highly to other clients.

Brenda ParkerHouston, TX
“Before working with DSM and Associates, I did my own taxes using Turbo Tax which got the job done, but I absolutely dreaded the process and never really felt confident that I was getting the best value for my time or maximum return. With DSM, I get someone whom I trust to take care of me and my family. Derek is responsive, very knowledgeable, and flexible. Working with him, actually makes the tax season fun.”
Wayne Porter

This past year service with DSM and Associates was above and beyond professional, pleasant and convenient and  I will continue to spread the word of the DSM and Associates Inc. superior tax service to everyone I know.

DSM and Associates handled our tax return for 2017. They made the process extremely easy. I never had to go into an office as it was all done from home. We were very pleased with the service and will surely return.
