McLaren & Associates CPA
At McLaren & Associates, we've created the right mix of services that allows you to save on your obligation to the government, avoid red flags, avoid stress and provide you with a trusted advisor. We are tax strategists. It is our job to proactively plan and strategize to reduce your taxes, avoid red flags, and keep you in compliance.

Forensic accounting is the investigations of lost, hidden, or stolen money or income used in divorce, estates, and litigation cases. Whether you're buying or selling, going through a divorce, planning for your estate, have a court issue, or looking for investors, having a business valuation done properly is key.
Services
Accountability: it means responsibility, honesty, integrity. As a small business owner, you know how important these qualities are, especially when it concerns your business books. Think about it this way: "Account-ability." The ability to do accounting and do it well. Competence. Expertise. Precision.
At McLaren & Associates, we have brought together a diverse group of people to share their ideas and experience to provide the best service possible. We collaborate as a Team to act as a driving force for change for both our clients and community. We are not just accountants, but tax strategists with a thorough understanding of the most up-to-date tax laws to utilize these laws to your advantage and save you money.
At McLaren & Associates we are not your typical accountants. We work as a team mentality, so every client has the best at what each team member does working on their account. It is the collective knowledge of the team that contributes to our success. What makes McLaren & Associates different for other accounting firms?
At McLaren & Associates, we are tax strategists, forensic accountants, and business valuators. We look at your records differently than other tax preparers. For us, the tax services we provide are more than just filing forms for you-it is about applying our skills, our experience, and our knowledge to make a positive difference in your life.
Our TEAM is one of the most dedicated when it comes to forensic services. Our team will fight for our clients to receive the justice they deserve. We work with your litigation team to ensure that you will receive the best possible outcome of your case. Whether, in a divorce, partner or employee theft, or a dispute with an estate, our team can help to change your life.

If you are a small business owner - you want to focus on running your business at the highest level possible...
AND SO
you want to be supported by OTHER true professionals whose business is handling your taxes, etc. at the highest level possible.
I sleep well with peace of mind from hiring McLaren & Associates to handle my finances while I run my business.
They know the tax code inside out...
are truly invested in your financial success...
and are kind, compassionate individuals.

Dave McLaren is an incredible accounting professional. I have referred numerous clients to him with complex tax matters and he has helped them all. His sideline should be a magician because he often takes a tax liability and turns it into a refund! I'll be going to a seminar next month on business valuations. That is another area in which Dave excels.

At McLaren and Associates you get a thorough review of your submission to them against the latest in tax laws. The team is very well educated on recent rules and regulations. They do NOT just put your information into tax forms and send them off to the IRS. They do tax planning to make sure you get all of the deductions possible. This takes time but is well worth it. We do our personal as well as small business taxes with them and it has made all of the difference. We highly recommend McLaren and associates.

Worst tax place around. Dropped taxes off in January in April they called to extend even though they had everything. Mid April I get billed no proof of work and they bill me. July still no work done and now I am taking my taxes else where. Very rude and unprofessional business.

McLaren & Associates CPA's P.C. have been my personal CPA for over15 years. Dave and his team are very skilled at implementing tax strategy savings. Many CPA firms don't explore alternative savings, which in many cases can be substantial. I've been extremely satisfied with David's approach in building our relationship. Recently, I've had McLaren & Associates handle my Corporate affairs as well.

McLaren and Associates have been my accountants for many years now and they are absolute experts! David and Jennifer are ROCK STAR CPA's and the rest of the McLaren team are superstars, Lora, Coreen, Lisa and Grzeg. They totally treat you as if you were a member of their family, there isn't another CPA firm that comes close. If you own a business you would be foolish not to contact McLaren and Associates, it's where the pro's go!

Jen Williams is a CPA at the firm and I have worked with her several times in the 7 years. He is good at finding money hidden/stolen from business owners/employees, she has evaluated non liquid assets (equipment, retirement accounts etc.) in a messy divorce. She is great when the IRS audits you. There office has skills more than just putting numbers on a tax return.
