about us

Stanley Silver founded Silver & Dackman, and we believe we honor him daily by continuing his legacy as a family-run, local accounting firm. In the late 1940s, when Stanley first offered the community accounting and tax preparation services, he set the tone for a long history of providing professional, caring, steadfast, personal, and business tax accounting services. His legacy of excellence will never be forgotten; we thank him for showing us the way.

What our clients say
A number of years ago, a friend referred me to Alan Silver. I, as well as the rest of our senior leadership, have been very impressed with his intelligence and how he looks after us. We nominated him to our Board of Directors and he has really made a difference in our company as we have grown. He is now a friend as well as our adviser. He is an A rated guy."
Mike Rogers
CEO & Chairman of the Board
Brian was recommended to us by our financial advisor. I cannot say enough about his professionalism and promptness. From our first conversation it felt like the perfect fit. He helped us get our best return ever and we are so excited to continue working with this family company for many years to come!"
Amanda Heller
Silver & Dackman provide 5-star customer service and Brian is truly the very best CPA. I have never had a CPA so invested in helping me to build my business. The first day together, we worked on my pricing structure, which was incredibly helpful. The client portal is easy to use and I always know Brian is a phone call away.

We're Small Business Owners

We're business owners, just like you. The world of business is complex. Staying on top of sales numbers, expenses, marketing investment, bookkeeping, taxes, payroll and more is critical for sustainability. We're right there with you and will help guide you in every aspect of your corporate accounting needs.

We're Creative Thinkers

Most people see accountants as rule followers, not as creative thinkers. However, we believe it's necessary to be creative to help our clients grow and thrive. Every new accounting standard requires creative thinking to interpret the standard and develop the policies and procedures required for its implementation. And, for new businesses or new divisions within an existing organization there is no prior-year accounting information or process to follow. Which is one area where we can roll up our sleeves and create from scratch.

We're Great Listeners

We work hard at being your trusted advisor and that means being excellent listeners. Listening is one of the most important aspects of a successful client relationship. Afterall, we deal with your financial records and often private, confidential information that might impact the livelihood and financial future of your business and family.

We Want You to Succeed

No matter which business phase you are in, we want you to succeed. As CPA's well-versed in the different phases of a business’s life, from setting appropriate pricing structures, to creating persuasive financial presentations for loan applications, to approaching potential investors or preparing succession planning and exit strategies, we want you to succeed and we are here to help.'
