David Dutton, CPA did not choose accounting as his first career. After some time in hospitality management, he decided that his talents were better served in the practice of accounting and earned his CPA license while living in New Jersey. After meeting his wife in Colorado, they moved to Mobile, her hometown, in 1997 and David joined a local firm primarily working in the field of auditing. He merged with Keith Graham in 2007 as the audit partner and is also in charge of quality control for the firm. David’s experience living across the U.S. and working with a wide range of businesses gives him a unique perspective to help him understand the needs of his clients. As an avid runner David has completed many marathons and is a long-time board member of the Port City Pacers running club. When he isn’t running, David enjoys time with his wife and daughter. Fun fact: he has a twin sister.
