Our Difference

We Are Not Your

At Max Financial, we integrate tax strategy, financial infrastructure, capital readiness, and investor-minded planning into one coordinated relationship — so every major financial decision works together.

Founded by David Hernandez, CPA — The Accredited Investor CPA™ — a Cuban immigrant who built this practice through Big Four experience at KPMG, 25+ years of management consulting, and faculty positions at FIU, Miami Dade College, and Millennia Atlantic University.

Who We Serve

Why Max Financial

Five reasons serious clients choose us.

We built this firm for clients who outgrew their last CPA. Here is what makes the relationship different.

The Accredited Investor CPA™

CPA, Series 65 Investment Adviser, and Florida Real Estate Broker — coordinated in a single relationship so your tax, investment, and real estate decisions are never siloed.

Built for Complexity

Multi-entity structures, international operations, real estate portfolios, and investor relationships — we specialize in the situations most firms refer out.

Capital Expertise That Delivers

$60M+ in SBA loans facilitated. We know what lenders need, how to build the narrative, and how to get clients funded when other advisors give up.

We Teach, Not Just Advise

David teaches at FIU, Miami Dade College, and Millennia Atlantic University. Our clients understand their numbers and the strategy behind them — not just the reports.

Brickell Presence, Boutique Attention

Located at 150 SE 2nd Ave in Miami's financial district. Our address signals serious advisory. Our team size ensures you always work with a principal — never a junior associate.

Founder-Led Relationships

Every client relationship is managed by David Hernandez, CPA — The Accredited Investor CPA™ — directly. You get 20+ years of experience and personal accountability — not a rotation of junior staff.

Real Results

Real Results. Measurable Impact.

A selection of client outcomes. Details are representative — specific results vary by client situation and engagement scope.

CASE STUDY — SBA FINANCING
Growth-Stage Construction Company Secures Expansion Funding

A Miami-based contractor with $3.2M in revenue needed capital to expand capacity and bid on larger municipal contracts. Previous lender conversations had stalled due to disorganized financials and no projection model.

Outcome
$1.4M SBA 7(a) loan approved. Financial systems rebuilt. Revenue grew 40% within 18 months.
CASE STUDY — TAX RESTRUCTURING
Healthcare Practice Reduces Tax Burden Through Entity Redesign

A physician group operating through a single C-Corp was overpaying in taxes with no retirement or wealth-building strategy. Compliance-only CPAs had never flagged the opportunity.

Outcome
Six-figure annual tax reduction. New S-Corp and holding structure implemented. Retirement strategy activated.
CASE STUDY — INTERNATIONAL INVESTOR
International Investor Gains Full U.S. Financial Visibility and Compliance

A Latin American client with three U.S. real estate entities and an operating business had no consolidated reporting, FIRPTA exposure, and no coordinated strategy across investments.

Outcome
Full compliance achieved. Consolidated reporting implemented. FIRPTA and entity structure optimized across all four U.S. holdings.
