About Daniel Sage

I’m an Audit Partner at Smith and Howard working with privately held companies, PE-backed businesses, and nonprofit organizations that need financial reporting boards and investors can rely on.My focus is simple. Deliver credible financial reporting while running a smooth, well-planned audit process that does not disrupt operations. Leadership teams should be focused on running the business, not chasing audit requests.I work closely with CFOs, controllers, executive directors, and private equity stakeholders to anticipate risk, navigate complex accounting matters, and strengthen reporting and internal processes. I translate technical accounting guidance into practical direction that supports better decisions at the board and ownership level.Whether a company is growing, preparing for a transaction, or simply looking to raise the bar on reporting discipline, my role is to bring clarity, accountability, and confidence to the process.I am a licensed Certified Public Accountant (CPA) and Certified Fraud Examiner (CFE), and an active member of the AICPA, GSCPA, and the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners.
