Our Founding Vision
David Marshall Associates (DMA) was founded over 30 years ago by David Marshall, an accountant passionate about supporting owner-managed businesses.
Drawing from his personal experience in building and maintaining his own firm, David gained firsthand insight into the challenges faced by entrepreneurs in today's competitive commercial environment. This understanding has been instrumental in shaping DMA's approach to client service, fostering lasting relationships built on trust and mutual respect.

Throughout its history, DMA has emphasized a client-centric philosophy, tailoring services to meet the unique needs of each business. By actively listening to clients and understanding their specific goals, the firm delivers cost-effective solutions designed to help businesses achieve their objectives. This personalized approach has contributed to an impressive client retention rate of 97%, reflecting DMA's commitment to client satisfaction.

Innovation has been a cornerstone of DMA's evolution. The firm leverages its extensive experience across various industries to offer fresh perspectives and creative solutions. By recognizing similarities between diverse businesses, DMA introduces innovative financial processes and reporting methods, opening new possibilities for clients and enhancing their operational efficiency.
Social Commitment
Corporate social responsibility is deeply embedded in DMA's culture. The firm encourages staff to engage in charitable activities, providing additional leave for fundraising and community support. Currently, DMA supports Marie Curie, with all funds raised donated to local operations. This commitment to giving back reflects the firm's dedication to contributing positively to the communities in which it operates.
