As we have discovered over the past year, challenging and unexpected times require us to rely on our trusted advisors more than ever. In times of uncertainty, accountants and financial professionals are particularly needed to help our businesses respond and react to issues at hand. Those of us living and working in Los Angeles are fortunate to have access to an impressive, and diverse, selection of financial professionals.
Los Angeles is truly a national leader when it comes to diversity in business – and the field of accounting is no exception. There are some particularly stellar CPAs in the LA region who happen to be minorities. Our special section, “Minorities of Influence: CPAs” contains an alphabetical list of many of our region’s outstanding accountants, along with some highlights about their careers, practices and recent accomplishments they have achieved.
Congratulations to the superb professionals who made the list this year and thank you for working to keep the people and businesses of Los Angeles on the right fiscal track.
