David Sands

“Tax is constantly changing. Every day is different with new and exciting challenges.”

If it’s tax-related, David Sands knows about it. In charge of compliance for more than 500 clients, David oversees anything technical that moves through the firm.

David provides his clients with a safety net of advice and gives the businesses he advises an honest assessment of their operations as it relates to accounting and tax. He enjoys challenging research projects and answering complex questions – whether they come from other partners at Buchbinder or his clients. Timely in the offering of advice, David discusses topics thoroughly with those who seek his consultation, deciphering alternatives, exploring possibilities and offering a new focus when necessary.
