who we are

IT STARTED WHEN...

Dan Kalwas, a Michigan native and CPA, started his own accounting firm in Rochester, Michigan. He became well known in the construction industry, where he specialized helping clients with construction accounting and tax help. In 1987, he brought on Michael Paperd as a staff accountant to assist the client base he had developed and to continue to grow the practice.

AS THE BUSINESS GREW...

The services expanded with new offerings to keep up with the ever changing and evolving accounting and tax compliance landscape. The firm name changed from Daniel A. Kalwas CPA, PC to Kalwas & Associate PC, and the office moved around a bit, going through three locations off of Livernois (with a short stint at Dan's home mixed in between!), a stop over at 950 W. University before settling at 800 W. University.. Though everything else was changing, the team of Dan and Mike stayed the same and continued to provide assistance to clients throughout the Metro-Detroit area.
