About Daniel
Daniel leads tax planning and advisory work for closely held businesses and the people who own them. The questions that reach him are the ones with a fork in them: how to structure an entity, when to recognize income, what a distribution decision does to next year's return, and whether a move that looks efficient on paper still holds up once the whole picture is on the table. He is direct about what the tax code allows, what it does not, and where the answer depends on facts the owner still needs to gather.
Because Cooper Norman has kept one connected team since 1954, now across six offices in Idaho and Utah, Daniel pulls in the accounting, audit, valuation, or transition side of the firm the moment a decision crosses into that territory instead of handing the owner a referral. Owners can expect a clear read on the options, the tradeoffs named out loud, a recommendation he is willing to defend, and a plan that still holds when the filing deadline arrives. He is reachable Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
