Beyond the Balance Sheet
David O. Awe is a Grand Prairie, Texas-based CPA whose work reaches far beyond the balance sheet. His heart for the Dallas–Fort Worth community shapes everything he does. He graduated in Accounting with honors and earned an MBA in Finance, then built a professional career spanning more than 30 years. In 2002 he founded his own firm, David O. Awe, CPA & Consultants, right here in Grand Prairie, serving individuals, small businesses, and non-profits across the metroplex.
Beyond the firm, David is an associate pastor, a three-decade Rotarian, a published author, and the founder of charitable foundations that fund education and mentorship for young people. What ties it all together is a simple conviction: that a well-run business and a well-lived life are both instruments for lifting other people up. Neighbors and colleagues across Grand Prairie and DFW describe him as a leader who gives back generously and measures success by the impact he leaves on the people around him.
“To live a God-centered, people-focused life and exit to glory, leaving behind legacies that are generational and indestructible.”
