The mission of HBLA
Certified Public Accountants, Inc. is clear and
succinct – to help Southern California’s
privately held business become more valuable by
cultivating relationships and provide
professional, financial knowledge, expertise
and experience. Founded in 1985, the firm is
comprised of highly trained and creative
problem solvers dedicated to client
satisfaction. We understand business and we
understand business owners. We can meld this
understanding together with our technical
skills to provide information and guidance to
the entrepreneur.
Sure, we can perform audits and reviews of your financial statements and prepare your income tax returns, but so can most other accountants. Our value proposition goes well beyond the basic requirements. We want the business owner to have a clear vision of his business goals and a strategic plan that will serve as the roadmap to achieving the goals. We can help develop the plan and then design the metrics used to measure progress. We can help translate data into useful information that you can use to be successful. We can also help in succession planning – is it time to sell your business? How can you transition the business to the next generation? These are questions we have assisted many owners to answer.
HBLA... Making your business more valuable.
