About Daniel

Assurance Expertise Grounded in Real-World Insight

As a Senior Accountant in the Assurance Department at VSH CPAs, Daniel Vallee brings a detailed, solutions-focused approach to every engagement. With deep experience in not-for-profits, construction, and real estate, Daniel transforms complex financial data into clear, actionable insights that meet regulatory standards while serving broader organizational goals. Whether managing audits, reviews, or compilations, he takes pride in helping clients understand their financial story and make informed decisions. 

A Glimpse into Daniel’s Journey

Daniel’s passion for accounting began at home in Austin, Texas, where he watched his father—an owner-operator of a steel fabrication and construction business—grapple with the financial side of entrepreneurship. Inspired by a desire to help business owners like his father, Daniel pursued a BBA in Accounting from the University of North Texas. He went on to gain diverse industry experience at a regional accounting firm. 

Daniel gained exposure to clients across the energy, private equity, government, and international medical manufacturing sectors. This wide-ranging experience gave him a big picture view of accounting, and the nuance required in assurance work. A desire for a new environment brought Daniel and his wife to Washington State, where he now brings that broad expertise to clients in the Pacific Northwest. 

Client-Centered Solutions, Built on Clarity and Communication

Daniel leads assurance engagements from start to finish—project managing timelines, reviewing detailed work, training interns, and working directly with clients to finalize and deliver reporting. Clients value his friendly, professional style and his ability to explain complex topics in a way that builds understanding and trust. 

For Daniel, client success means more than compliance. He believes in clear, honest communication and never hesitates to ask the right questions to find solutions. 

Life Outside the Office

Daniel lives on Lummi Island with his wife and their four beloved cats. He enjoys immersing himself in fantasy audiobooks and spends several evenings each week playing Dungeons & Dragons with friends. He’s a regular at the local coffee stand and values the sense of connection from being part of a small island community.
