Hi my name is David Cooper, CPA and I am the Accounting Chef. I help YOU Create YOUR Recipe for Success. I am the owner of The Accounting Chef, LLC.
How do we do it? We work together implementing my 5 Step Accounting Chef recipe for success. We discuss your business, look at your numbers (or lack thereof) and come up with a plan that You understand and are excited about! No complex accountantese or MBA talk. Just common sense and an actionable recipe for your success.
I love working with businesses and individuals who want to run a successful business. You know that you need to understand the financial side of the business and use that knowledge to your advantage. It’s just hard to find an accountant that speaks your language and (bonus here) is relaxed and has fun with business! Nothing makes me happier as a consultant, coach, professor or accountant than to see You have that ahah moment and win!
Meet the David, the Accounting Chef
Why the Accounting Chef? I LOVE to cook! I LOVE to work with people and help them grow their businesses. I am also not your stereotypical accountant. As one former colleague said when introducing me to speak at a conference said, “David is a rare find. An accountant with a personality!” What better way to have fun than to combine my two favorite things! Thus the Accounting Chef. Helping You Build Your Recipe for Success.
I am an Accountant, a Consultant & Coach and also a long time Accounting Professor. I have over 32 years of experience in business and love using the knowledge I have learned to help business people just like you succeed.
My specialities are small business strategy and automation. I also have a long time love of working for and with non profit entities on better financial practices and fund raising methods.
I am a lot like my clients. I have run small businesses and made mistakes along the way. The cool thing about cooking and business, we learn from our mistakes and get even better! Many of my best recipes in business and cooking are the result of learning from mine and others mistakes. We just keep on going right?!
