Dayton Tax CPA David Rike - Washington Township, Ohio

Alma S.

Highest praise for competency, skill, responsiveness, and sheer analytical and organizational ease with tax questions. I was honestly shocked at how quickly David Rike responded with issues resolved, and clear instructions for any follow-up. If there is someone in Dayton whose "word is bond" I am convinced it is David, no exaggeration. There aren't enough reviews for independent CPA's online, and after searching his Better Business Bureau history, Google reviews, and other online info, I decided to add my own experience here for anyone also looking. If you need to work with someone who communicates in a relatable and clear manner, have the utmost confidence that David Rike is good people to take care with respect, efficiency, and impressive analytical skill and results.

Do not use this CPA. He does not return your calls, emails, or messages.

Dave Rike was assigned by the court to do the ex husband and I's taxes in 2019 while we were in a nasty divorce. I submitted all of the required documentation in 2020 for the taxes. The ex husband did not. Fast forward to 2023. I ask for the copy of the tax return, it had not been done. This is not Dave's issue per say but what happened after is. The ex tells me that Dave hasn't returned his calls regarding the taxes and that he had gave dave his information. I call Dave 3 three times that week to follow up with seeing if he needed any information from me. He never returned any of those calls. Finally on Friday I reach an asian sounding woman who is confrontational and belittling on the phone. I asked her for history of our taxes. I asked her what happened. She says to me you can either learn what happened or we can do your taxes not both. Implying she would drop us as clients if I continue to ask questions. That response was not good enough for me. Finally Dave gets on the phone asked Dave what happened he reports to me that he hadn't heard from the ex until the week before and now has his tax information. Dave askes for my ID and says that he can have my taxes done quickly. I send him my ID. There was no confirmation email that he recieved the ID, no follow up. Nothing. I call and leave messages 3 more times to confirm he has received my email. 9 days passes without a word from him. I emailed him again. 2 days later I get an email forwarded from the ex saying the taxes are done.
I have still not heard from Dave.

Needed assistance with federal withholdings on multiple sources of income and Mr. Pike got me in his office on the same day I called to make an appointment. He looked at all my documents and advised me on what I needed to do. Very professional and I was very glad he was able to help me out.

One hell of a nice guy. But as UN-motivated to solve your problem as you can imagine. Very knowledgeable it seems and speaks authoritatively about the process. (I had a tax issue) Easy to like. But to say you had to prod him to act, would be an understatement of epic proportions. He starts......and........he [apparently[ loses complete interest. I think his business model counts on the fact that his client[s] will not push him and they will eventually go away. If you want to learn, David is your man. If you want someone to lead the charge and chart a course, David will leave you hanging, He's laid back to the point of inertia. Nothing happens.

Rude, just asks for money every conversations. They say they have a lawyer but when you ask her she said she doesn't have layers and she will not give me layer and that I have to pay her. Hangs up the phone in your face. She said she was the partner of this business, really rude again. Not helpful. Waisted my time saying she can help me with the lawyer. Then said she won't give me a layer because I didn't pay her the 1500 first too se if I would need a layer for a case. She had an Asian accent.
