Dana Andrews is an IRS licensed tax practitioner with 10 years experience with the largest tax preparation firm in the country and is one of the funniest tax experts you will ever meet. Dana comes with experience in Tax Preparation, Management, Education and Small Business Development. His move to Mayer and Associates was motivated by the desire to do more for his clients on a year round basis. Dana began his career in taxation after several disappointing years of having his own taxes prepared incorrectly. Since his original training in 1997, Dana has served hundreds of clients in all income categories. Having the business experience, savvy and sense of humor makes an appointment with Dana a pleasure for his clients. When he has spare time, Dana enjoys playing games with his 3 year old triplets, reading science fiction, golfing and surfing on the internet to learn more useless information. Dana started his career as a genetic engineer after his 1988 graduation from the State University of New York, College at Fredonia, deep in the Lake Erie snow belt. After a stint at the University of Buffalo, doing research on deadly bacteria, he moved to Tarrytown in Westchester New York to work for General Foods as a Formulation Chemist. Soon after he became smitten with his now Wife and moved to Queens in NYC to become a science teacher. Not one to do just one thing at a time, and needing to be able to pay for a looming honeymoon, Dana also worked as a freelance lab technician doing the radiation research no one else wanted to do. This explains a lot. Dana completed his Masters Degree in Science Education with a perfect average and became one of the best (His Opinion) science teachers in NYC. Alas, his wife wanted to live in New England, and they were off to Connecticut. Dana simultaneously taught science to high school kids, worked his own construction business and became a tax preparer for several years in Connecticut. After several grueling years, he decided that the true passion was working with people, helping them save money. Dana determined that the tax world was where he wanted to be full time and forever. This confirmed his family’s suspicions that he was a little off his rocker. However, Dana has an excellent record as a tax professional, is licensed by the IRS and has a following of many wonderful clients. Mayer and Associates is exceeding glad that Dana has joined our team as he says “the Chief Taxation Officer”. We don’t have the heart to tell him that he is the only taxation officer. Sorry Dana
