About

You can count on me to count for you

I have been licensed as a California CPA since 1980 and opened my own Burbank firm in 2010. I earned my accounting degree from Cal State University, Northridge and have lived in the Burbank area my whole life. Most of my clients work in entertainment, the professions, real estate, or construction. I am a member of the California Society of Certified Public Accountants and the National Society of Accountants. Expertise.com has named me one of the best tax services in Los Angeles, and Best Businesses named me Best Accountant in Burbank. I am a husband and a father, and I watch Lakers basketball and USC football.

I quote a fixed fee before a project starts, and phone and email time about the project is covered in that fee. Your first meeting with me is free.
