BOOK A CONSULTATION →What we do
We are a boutique CPA firm serving West Hollywood from our office at 256 South Robertson Blvd, Suite 206 — a short drive from Sunset Blvd, minutes north of Beverly Hills, and directly adjacent to the WeHo south-of-Santa-Monica-Blvd corridor. MBA-holding CPAs. Named partners on every engagement. Boutique by design. Trusted advisor, not a mere client.
Our practice covers what a WeHo individual, entertainment principal, or business actually needs:
- Taxation — federal, California, and multi-state returns for individuals, entities, trusts, and estates, with year-round planning between filings. - Business management — fully-managed bill pay, cash flow, CFO oversight, and coordination with agents, managers, and entertainment attorneys throughout WeHo, Sunset Strip, and Beverly Hills. - Outsourced accounting — monthly close on QuickBooks Online for WeHo restaurants, boutiques, salons, creative studios, and professional-service firms. - Court & trust accounting — court-ready trust, probate, conservatorship, and guardianship accountings for LA County Superior Court. - Strategy — coordination across the client's attorneys, wealth advisors, bankers, and insurance advisors.
We do not sell securities. We do not manage investments. We do not accept referral commissions from other advisors. Our advice runs one direction — from us to the client.

Frequently Asked
West Hollywood — questions we hear.
What does a CPA in West Hollywood do for creative professionals and small business owners?
A CPA in West Hollywood serves creative agencies, boutique businesses, hospitality operators, and independent professionals. Typical work includes entity structuring, tax planning and preparation, bookkeeping oversight, S-Corp elections, and California-specific compliance. West Hollywood's concentration of small creative shops and hospitality means CPAs here often handle mixed W-2/1099 income, tip reporting, and tight cash flow planning for owner-operators.
How much does a CPA cost in West Hollywood?
In West Hollywood, individual returns typically run $500-$2,500, with more complex returns involving K-1s or self-employment often reaching $2,000-$4,000. Business returns generally price at $1,500-$6,000. Monthly bookkeeping for small businesses usually falls between $500-$2,000. Full-service business management engagements for higher-income clients often range from $3,000-$10,000 per month depending on entities and scope.
Can a West Hollywood CPA help LGBTQ+ business owners with entity and estate planning?
Yes. West Hollywood has a strong concentration of LGBTQ+ business owners, and CPAs here regularly handle domestic partnership vs marriage tax planning, joint entity ownership, and estate coordination with attorneys. California treats registered domestic partners and married couples similarly for state tax purposes but federal rules differ in specific situations. A CPA familiar with these distinctions catches planning opportunities generalist preparers often miss.
Do West Hollywood CPAs work with restaurants and hospitality businesses?
Yes. West Hollywood's dense hospitality scene means most CPAs here regularly handle restaurant and bar accounting, including tip credit calculations, sales tax filings, payroll for tipped employees, food and beverage cost analysis, and CA-specific labor compliance. The FICA tip credit alone can be worth thousands annually for restaurant owners, and it's a routinely missed opportunity when generalist preparers handle these returns.
How do I choose a CPA in West Hollywood?
Match the CPA's experience to your situation — West Hollywood has strong niches in creative agencies, hospitality, and small business ownership. Ask about direct partner access, response times, and whether the CPA offers year-round planning or just April tax prep. Confirm familiarity with California PTE elections, S-Corp reasonable compensation, and industry-specific issues like tip reporting for hospitality clients.
