Dave Van Damme

Senior Manager, Advisory & Assurance

David Van Damme - International CPA

Dave serves as a senior manager for the Clayton & McKervey’s advisory & assurance department and is well known both inside and outside the firm for being both invested & positive.

What is your area of focus?

I work within the advisory & assurance practice, primarily with privately-owned domestic companies or subsidiaries of larger foreign-owned and operated companies throughout Europe and Asia. Working closely with owners, chief financial officers, and plant managers gives me a deep understanding of clients’ business goals so that our firm can provide the right mix of technological and consulting support. I am focused on the fundamental practices and internal controls required to mitigate risk and, as a certified fraud examiner, help clients become better educated on the best practices to help prevent fraud.

How long have you been at Clayton & McKervey?

Since 2008

What is the favorite part about your job?

I appreciate the access to the best resources in the industry – the shareholders, managers, seniors and staff that contribute to continuous improvement and development.

Contact Dave to see how we can help you.
