Richard S. Davis, Jr
My career in finance began while attending the University of Miami pursuing a Bachelor of Science degree in Accounting and completing tax returns for fellow students. After graduating, I worked as an accountant with Caterpillar Tractor Company, a major corporation for 11 years. Moonlighting, I formed my first company, Accounting, Taxes, Etc. Inc. Towards the end of my tenure with Caterpillar, I began the process of pursuing my dream career, solving white-colar crimes, by joining the Miami-Dade Police Department in 1985. I served 22 of 25 years in the Special Investigation Division, Major Fraud Section, Economic Crimes Bureau, and the Public Integrity Unit. I started as a detective investigating major fraud crimes, such as embezzlements, check fraud, and real estate and mortgage fraud. I was promoted to Detective Sergeant in 1995, and became supervisor of the Major Fraud Squad. During this time, I also formed my 2nd company, R.S. Davis Financial Services, Inc. specializing in accounting, income tax preparation, and income tax representation before the IRS. As an Enrolled Agent (EA) with the IRS, I prepare taxes worldwide and represent clients before the IRS with major income tax issues.
I am also a licensed realtor and mortgage broker. These two licenses and years of experience allowed me to discover the need and receive backing from a local State Senator along with a team of attorneys to pass SB-1824 which led to the creation of the first Mortgage Fraud Law in the State of Florida currently known as Statute 817.575. Then Governor, Charlie Christ, signed it into law and tasked me with writing a curriculum for the Governor’s Hope Council as well as train detectives around the state on how to investigate mortgage and real estate fraud. I also created the first Mayor’s Mortgage Fraud Task force for Miami Dade County.
I’ve appeared on “‘60 Minutes,” “The Mark Walberg Show,” and several local news channels throughout the course of my career regarding my expertise in solving intricate, high-level financial crimes. I’ve conducted over 100 seminars and speaking engagements on mortgage and real estate fraud and created an approved Continuing Education (“CE”) accredited course on Financial Planning for the Miami-Dade Police Department. I am a certified tax preparer instructor; Regional Director and Financial Advisor with Money Concepts Wealth Management & Financial Planning; a graduate and Fellow of the National Tax Practice Institute; served on the City of Hollywood Affordable Housing Committee (4-years) and a graduate of the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce Leadership Program class #38.
In addition to tax preparations, IRS representation, and financial planning, I serve as the Treasurer on my condominium homeowners association board representing 1,100 condo units. I enjoy spending time with my family, traveling, and BOATING!
