About Us
Dunn Tax Group provides premium client-focused and results-oriented sales and use tax solutions to businesses across all industries.
We leverage decades of state tax audit experience and sales tax audit defense experience to resolve audit controversy. Our goal is to protect client interests, making sure no more tax is paid than legally owed while also pursuing tax refunds clients are due.
In its short existence, we have assisted clients in reducing sales tax audit assessments and securing tax refunds in combined excess of $4.5 million dollars.
Dunn Tax Group also offers individualized tax compliance training that enables clients to confidently take control of their tax-reporting responsibilities.

Our commitment to understanding your business operations and accounting processes allows us to deliver results efficiently and seamlessly, with minimal disruption to your day-to-day operations.
At Dunn Tax Group, we are dedicated to providing quality service that is centered on experience, responsiveness, reliability and trust.
EXPERIENCED
PROFESSIONALS
Our decades of experience working with the Texas Comptroller provides a perspective that differs from most of our competitors.
We understand the inner workings of the Comptroller’s Office including its perspective related to Texas Tax Statutes, Rules, Tax Policy, Audit Policy, Audit Procedures, Auditor Training Methods, and Administrative Hearings.
Our professional relationships with Comptroller staff enable us to effectively resolve controversy.
In addition to our experience with the Comptroller, we have years of experience providing audit defense and tax refund representation that has resulted in substantial audit reductions and refunds.
Our breath of knowledge and experience also allows us to offer individualized sales and use tax compliance training for our clients that can result in significant tax savings and minimize future audit controversy.
PROFESSIONAL SERVICE WITH INTEGRITY AND TRANSPARENCY
Integrity and transparency are our core values.
At Dunn Tax Group we are sensitive to the cost of engaging a tax consultant. Before offering solutions, we perform an initial cost/benefit analysis to determine potential tax exposure and/or potential for tax refunds. Our goal is to determine whether a prospective client will receive value-added from our service, including the likelihood of a resolved controversy.
Often, we determine that a prospective client can effectively handle their audit without incurring the expense of a consultant. If a controversy arises, the prospective client may then decide to engage us in an “audit defense” capacity and/or to seek credits and refunds.
Dunn Tax Group offers a transparent, competitive and mutually acceptable fee structure.
David Dunn, Principal and Consultant
Austin-based Dunn Tax Group LLC was founded by David in 2021 who, while leading the IAR team of the Texas Comptroller, developed a strong desire to provide strategic support to assist businesses with state and local tax controversy and compliance.
David’s experience includes 30 years with Texas Comptroller’s Office. He spent 22 years as a Tax Auditor and quickly ascended to elite Auditor VI status as the result of his audit proficiency and ability to resolve disagreements. David’s breadth of knowledge and expertise in taxability and audit procedures resulted in promotion to the Comptroller’s Independent Audit Review (IAR) team that was created to provide taxpayers and their representatives an objective independent review of audit and refund related disputes. He served 8 years as an IAR, including 5 years leading the team. David’s audits, independent audit reviews, and review/approval of IAR reports involved over 1500 businesses, ranging from “mom-and-pop” operations to Fortune 500 companies.
As your consultant, David’s goal is to assist in protecting your business interests by providing audit representation while seeking credits and refunds legally due. He facilitates timely audit completion and resolves controversy through transparency, diligence, and his ability to quickly identify pertinent facts relevant to audit and refund transactions.
