— — — — — –
* Blake is a RARE AND AWESOME FIND in the CPA world — USE HIM!

I was referred to Blake by a friend in 2009 when we were both sole proprietors (I’m an LLC now), she and I had felt screwed over by expensive corporate CPA’s who don’t really listen to you but are happy to send that huge bill… When she discovered Blake she suggested I switch, and it’s been about my greatest business decision.
I haven’t even lived in Texas since we started working together and he’s WAY outperformed anyone I’ve ever worked in person with. You Houston people are lucky.
He’s grown with my business, and about 3 years ago asked me what I imagined my income looking like when I’m 80 years old., and got me to start contributing to a SEP IRA — He integrated this with my tax work and made it feel doable, FINALLY, and not scary, and not impossible, and now I feel MUCH better about things looking ahead.
I’m a crap client that always sends things in too close to deadlines (I’m not endorsing this behavior) and he still manages to make things work and not resent me and respond promptly, etc. (That Jason guy with the flame review is a jerk — Blake has come through for me time and time again and I’m just one of his many many clients, and I’m sure one of the very smallest accounts! That review is a wholly unfair characterization). Before Blake, I always felt like CPA’s were like lawyers you can’t afford — too expensive, and just out to bill you — now I feel like I have a friend in my corner fighting for my best short and long term interests, and we’ve never even met in person. There can’t possibly be many authentically invested, passionate, CPA resources like him out there to take advantage of. I feel very very lucky to have found him.

I have been using Blake for years. Granted, I am not the best client as I tend to procrastinate but Blake keeps me on track; files extensions and makes real-​life recommendations to maximize (minimize what I owe) my return.
Anyway, make an appointment with Blake Davidson and besides taking care of your return, you’ll get an earful of advice (bring a note pad). Seriously, he will tell you far more about how to take care of your financial wellbeing than H&R Block ever will. Prob. cost less too.

Blake is worth his weight in gold. And diamonds. And dark chocolate. If you’re into maximizing your tax returns, look no further.
I work contract (considered self employed) and my husband is corporate. A coworker introduced me to Blake 4 years ago insisting that I have him do my taxes. At the time I thought people who used CPAs were lazy, but after hearing how much money he had saved her, we gave him a try. It didn’t take us long to realize people who use CPAs aren’t lazy, they’re smart. Really smart. He got us so much more than our own numbers estimated. Needless to say, Blake has prepared our taxes ever since. Not only does he crush it on tax returns, he’s brilliant, timely, is willing to answer any and all my questions and he’s super kind. I can’t recommend him enough.

I am a a new start-​up business own and am very happy with my experience with Blake. How I found him was through Unilocal,then I read the reviews and was pleased to see he’s done great work for other people. I walked in the office unannounced with a crazy mess of paper work, and a story.
I explained to him that this was my first business and that I would like some help to prepare my return. Blake took it upon himself to teach and nurture me as a student which I really needed. He gave me a worksheet and add up all of the totals, and some advice, and sent me on my way. It took me about 4 hours of backtracking through my expenses to fill out everything and and emailed him my results. I finished with 2 days before the deadline. Blake called me the next day that he will filing an extension and that it is completely normal. And figured it would be fine.
Two weeks later I returned with a w-​2 for 2014 from my last employer and added it my totals. Everything was finished yesterday and the results were way better than I expected. Not only did I break even for the business, but I received a return!
I feel very happy using Blake as my cpa, and tax preparer. I will definitely be using I’m for the future. I also really appreciate his guidance through the course of this experience! He is a good cpa and does a great service!

I can’t help but laugh at Jason’s review, because it couldn’t be further from accurate. Mr. Davidson has been handling my taxes and investments for the better part of a decade, and not only does he deliver, he delivers in an extremely positive and professional manner. His communication, morals, and business ethics are beyond top of the mark. I find it ironic that every person who has reviewed Mr. Davidson has given the same stature, yet this Jason person has developed an extremely elaborate «tale» of doggie doo-​doo to bash Blake’s stellar reputation. I don’t know who you are, but it appears you need to get right with the Lord. Bless you Blake, and all of your tremendous efforts to help your neighbor make great decisions for their future!

My experience with Blake Davidson was pretty terrible and I regret finding him on Unilocal with his great reviews.
— 3÷18÷2015 I submitted all of the information he requested in order to create a tax form needed to file my business’s tax return. I asked at that time if he could give me a timeline on when things may be completed and he told me he couldn’t.
— 3÷25÷2015 I sent an email asking about the status of my forms and to make sure he didn’t need anything — no response.
−3÷31÷2015, I called Blake to see if he could give me an idea on when he would have my forms — he told me he would have something for me by the end of the week (4÷3÷2015).
— 4÷6÷2015, after receiving nothing from him, I sent him an email — no response.
— 4÷7÷2015, I sent him another email — nothing.
— 4÷14÷2015, my business partner finally got in touch with him and he texted her not to worry that «no man is left behind» and he’ll get our forms to us on time.
— 4÷15÷2015 (the tax deadline) he calls me at 8:30PM to tell me this long sob story about how his servers have been down and blah blah and how he’s so sorry and has filed my extension. He promised to have my forms to me the first of the following week (4÷21÷2015).
— Today (4÷21÷2015), after leaving him a voicemail, he tells me that he’s going on vacation and will get to my return «first thing» when he gets back on 4÷27÷2015. I thought he was joking but he wasn’t.
Today, when I was deleting his access from my Quickbooks account, I realized he NEVER accepted the invitation for access which means ALLLL of this time he never looked at our information — ridiculous.
I’m a very reasonable person and not naïve to think that tax time for any CPA is a busy time. The fact of the matter is, Blake failed to deliver multiple times and left us in the dark. Had we known up front that he was incapable of getting our forms to us in time, we would have went another direction. My advice to anyone looking for a CPA, look elsewhere.

Blake is an excellent CPA and is very easy to work with. If you are like me and don’t know much about taxes – Blake is perfect for you. He will explain things patiently and communicate clearly. He truly worked magic on our taxes and saved us money!!! If you are looking for a smart, professional, experienced CPA, you have found him. Thanks Blake!!!

Yay for Blake Davidson!

As a small business owner I have enough to deal with and focus on that if I had to also master (ok — even just understand) the tax code I think my head would explode. It’s great to have an accountint who not lony competently and consistently applies the rules, fills out the forms, and generally keeps things straight, but also generates a steady stream of great advice and solid strategies that help my business grow (ok — survive and stay on track). Thank you Blake for helping me succeed.

So far I’ve only found it necessary to rate two ‘professional services’ out there… one is my Vegas attorney, Eva Guo — and the second is my Houston accountant for over 10 years, BLAKE DAVIDSON!
Some of you out there may know him for his DJing… but I know him as the ONLY accountant to use in this city for your personal & business accounting needs.
Blake has always done a *terrific job* for my personal and corporate tax needs. He is hands down the best accountant/​CPA for all your needs. He’s really good at reminding me about saving for my «retirement»… so he has many options for you to choose if ya need that.
Keep him in mind for Taxes, IRS matters, Financial Planning, and Investments (with an emphasis on retirement planning and investing).
He can also can spin a fairly decent mainstream dance format!!!
