Los Angeles accounting firms are definitely not all the same. Some focus almost exclusively on business tax accounting, only calling you a few times per year to work on your taxes. Others might handle your payroll or your bookkeeping, but remain uninvolved in major business decisions.
Los Angeles accounting firm Furness & Associates is a different kind of organization. Founded by Encino CPA Raymond Furness in 2001, Furness & Associates operates on the philosophy that your Los Angeles CPA should be involved with your business every step of the way. Like a good friend, Raymond Furness is ready to answer your financial questions whenever they arise – not just during tax season.
Doctors, Dentists, and Movie Stars
Furness & Associates has earned a place for itself as a Los Angeles accounting firm specializing in helping doctors, dentists, and both companies and individuals in the entertainment industry to maximize their profits. As one dentist stated, without the help of Mr. Furness and his team, it would have been impossible to achieve the exponential growth in his practice that he has experienced.
As for the entertainment industry, before founding his own Los Angeles accounting firm, Mr. Furness worked for Nigro, Karlin & Segal, one of the largest entertainment CPA firms in the country. While working with Nigro, Karin & Segal, Mr. Furness audited major production companies, including Sony, Warner Brothers, Paramount, and MGM. He has also helped A-list Hollywood actors to better understand the issues surrounding their residual incomes.
