Custom Content from the Los Angeles Business Journal
Knowledgeable and skilled accountants and financial professionals are particularly needed today to help our businesses respond and react to economic fluctuations caused by the world’s issues. 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, “Leaders of Influence: Minority CPAs” contains an alphabetical list of many of our region’s outstanding accountants, along with some basic information about their careers, practices and some relevant recent accomplishments they’ve 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.
Methodology: The professionals featured in these pages did not pay to be included. Their profiles were drawn from nomination materials submitted to the Los Angeles Business Journal.
