Daniel K Kwan

Accountants lean on exact numbers. Tax filings aren’t forgiving of guesswork. Businesses in FiDi still need a human set of eyes before the forms reach the IRS—mistakes there linger longer than a lunch break behind a screen.

Daniel K Kwan sits on 56 St James Pl between light rails and sidewalk crush. The office is a halfway house between spreadsheets and sidewalks. New York LLCs and overseas filers drop in for quarterly reconciliations just as casually as they’d swipe a MetroCard.

Formation papers, payroll withholdings, audit support—the stack on his desk looks like Manhattan demographics in report form. Delaware incorporations, multi-state filings, all pass through the same workflow chute without raising an eyebrow. A CPA who also teaches a night class at Pace keeps the numbers from feeling like ancient Sanskrit.

Run the directions before the 79th subway crawl. Save the number—dial (212) 966-1818 and set the clock forward.
