David Spray
Host of The IC-DISC Show
Export Advisors was founded by David Spray and is based in Houston, Texas, at the heart of the export industry.
Export Advisors differentiates itself from other firms dedicated to tax savings by focusing exclusively on the IC-DISC incentive program. David’s career as a former CPA and serial entrepreneur has given him an edge in understanding how to add measurable value to exporting entrepreneus while providing them with a simplified way to access their maximum tax savings with the IC-DISC.
Since 2006, Export Advisors has partnered with hundreds of clients to help them save more than $100 million in taxes. A typical client of ours enjoys more than $100,000 in annual net tax savings (after all fees paid).
