Los Angeles CPA Firm — Audit, Review & Financial Reporting Services

Serving Greater Los Angeles CPA — California CFE 12+ Years Experience

Lobel Accountancy Corporation serves privately held businesses throughout the greater Los Angeles area — from downtown LA and the Westside to the South Bay, Pasadena, and Long Beach. As a California-licensed CPA firm, we provide audit, review, compilation, financial statement preparation, and fractional CFO services with the depth of a large firm and the directness of a principal-led practice.

Los Angeles businesses working with LAC get Jeffrey Lobel, CPA, CFE on every engagement — not a partner who sells and disappears. That model is unusual in a market where large firms dominate, which is exactly why it works for the privately held companies that large firms underserve.

What We Provide to LA-Area Companies

The Los Angeles market includes some of the most complex privately held businesses in the country — entertainment-adjacent companies, real estate operators, tech startups, financial services firms, and multi-entity manufacturing groups. LAC brings the technical accounting depth to serve them well.

Audit & Assurance Services
GAAS financial statement audits, review engagements, and compilations for Los Angeles companies with lender requirements, investor obligations, or governance needs. Complex structures — consolidated entities, VIEs, multi-state operations — handled without subcontracting to third parties.
GAAP Financial Statement Preparation
Full GAAP financial statements with complete footnote disclosures. Technical standard implementation — ASC 606, ASC 842, CECL, ASC 860 — handled in-house. Restatements, corrections, and first-time GAAP adoption supported from start to finish.
Fractional CFO & Controller Services
Senior financial leadership on a part-time or project basis — close cycle management, board and investor reporting, lender covenant tracking, and financial infrastructure improvement. Ideal for Los Angeles businesses that have outgrown their bookkeeper but aren't ready for a full-time CFO hire.
Fraud Examination
Independent fraud examinations for attorneys, businesses, and individuals — conducted by a Certified Fraud Examiner (CFE). LAC brings structured investigative methodology to suspected misconduct, financial statement irregularities, asset misappropriation, and litigation support engagements. Findings are documented to professional standards suitable for legal proceedings.
Inventory Count Observation
Specialist inventory count observation for CPA firms requiring an independent, qualified observer. LAC integrates directly into your audit workflow — handling pre-count planning review, physical observation, test counts, and workpaper documentation so your audit file is complete and defensible.
Audit Readiness & Internal Controls
Pre-audit diagnostic and PBC preparation for Los Angeles companies facing a first audit, a capital raise, or a sale process. Control documentation, accounting policy development, and risk assessment frameworks — structured to make audits faster and findings fewer.

A different kind of CPA firm for the LA market

Los Angeles is well-served by large accounting firms. It is underserved by firms that combine senior-level technical depth with direct principal involvement and systems-level operational capability. Most CPA firms in the LA market are either very large (with the staffing model that implies) or very small (without the technical depth required for complex engagements). LAC sits in a deliberate middle position.

Technical depth: Jeffrey has worked on everything from public company SOX engagements to specialty finance securitization accounting to ASC 606 adoption for pre-revenue startups. The range matters for LA companies, which tend to have complex structures, technical accounting issues, and high-stakes audiences for their financial statements.

Direct involvement: Every engagement at LAC is run by Jeffrey. That's not a promise about availability — it's the operating structure. There is no staffing model where your engagement gets assigned to someone else. The senior CPA you engage is the one doing the work.

Systems fluency: LAC's technical capabilities extend beyond accounting into the systems that accounting runs on. When a Los Angeles client's close process, consolidation infrastructure, or reporting workflow is the constraint, we fix it — not just describe it.
