Accountants and CPAs in Los Angeles, CA.

Every dot is a firm. None vetted yet.
If you do paid work inside the City of Los Angeles, the city expects you to hold a Business Tax Registration Certificate from its Office of Finance. That rule covers individuals as well as companies. The city collects tax on your first year of business when you renew in your second year, and it calls this the back tax. Small businesses can qualify for an exemption, but only when they renew on time. Freelancers are the largest specialty group among the 439 accounting firms we list here. When you compare accountants, ask whether they handle City of Los Angeles business tax renewals for their clients, because a late renewal can cost you the exemption.
