Committed to providing reliable and timely tax and accounting solutions for businesses and individuals.
AJ Joshi, CPA
As a principal with DA CPA, I advise my clients on accounting, assurance, and tax matters. Having previously worked with both local and national accounting firms, I have gained an eclectic range of experience working with clients in the real estate, construction, manufacturing and professional services spaces.
My practice focuses on the provision of assurance services (audits and reviews), compilation engagements, and tax compliance to privately held businesses. Through attentive client service, I provide pro-active, practical solutions to help my clients achieve their growth objectives. I am deeply committed to my client’s success. Whether you’re a company looking to reduce financial complexities, or navigate the ever-changing tax landscape, I look forward to being your first point of contact.
I have preciously co-authored the ASPE – Construction Industry course, a national professional development course taught to CPAs across the country. I am also a session leader and facilitator with CPA Western School of Business.
Outside of work, I enjoy getting outside, building DIY projects, and being the fun uncle to my niece and nephew.
