5 Best Accountants in Los Angeles (2026)

Independently ranked by our review of ratings, reviews and reputation · How we chose

By Lorian Hartfield, Real Estate and Financial Expert · ✓ Data verified July 2026 · 8 min read

Every accountant on this Los Angeles list holds a perfect or near-perfect Google rating, so the number that actually separates them is how long they've been doing it. One CPA here has worked with the same client's family for 27 years straight, while another built a five-star record in under a year, and both approaches have their place depending on what you need done.

Short answer: Prestige Tax Group leads Los Angeles accountants with a perfect 5.0-star average across 30 Google reviews, the deepest track record on this page. Abeye Hailu, CPA, MBA and MiklosCPA are also rated 5.0, both known for multi-year client relationships. None of these firms publish a standard fee, so ask for a written quote based on whether you need a personal return, business books, or year-round advisory.

How we score

Every number on this page comes from public Google data on the date shown, not opinion or payment. Rating is the firm’s live Google star average. Review volume is how many clients have rated them, ranked against other LA accountants. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 5.0 built on 30 reviews carries more weight than one built on a handful. Recency reflects how recently clients are still leaving reviews. No business can pay to change these numbers.

How much does an accountant cost in Los Angeles? (2026)

Accountant fees in LA scale with the complexity of your filing, whether it’s a simple return or a multi-entity business situation. This is general guidance rather than a fixed price list, since exact fees vary by firm and case:

Serving all of Los Angeles

The accountants above are based across Downtown LA, from the Arts District to the Financial District along Figueroa and Flower streets. Searching for an accountant near me? Every listing here shows a live phone number and directions so you can reach the closest firm fast, whether you’re filing personal or business taxes.

What to ask before you hire an accountant

  • Are you a licensed CPA, and can you provide your license number?
  • Do you charge a flat fee or hourly rate, and what does it include?
  • Have you handled situations like mine before, such as multi-state income or stock options?
  • Will you represent me directly if the IRS has questions or disputes?
  • How do you handle document sharing, an online portal or email?
  • What’s your availability outside of tax season if I have questions?

Frequently asked questions

How did you choose these accountants?

We started from accountants and CPA firms in Los Angeles with a public Google presence, then ranked by rating, review volume, consistency and recency. See How we score above.

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from the public Google data in the scorecard. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner, which adds a badge and top placement, but that never changes another business’s score or position on the underlying data.

How often is this updated?

The data carries a verified date, July 2026 on this page. We refresh listings periodically so ratings and review counts stay current.

Do these accountants handle both individual and business taxes?

Most do. Prestige Tax Group, Abeye Hailu and MiklosCPA all handle a mix of individual returns, business filings and more complex cases like multi-state income or IRS disputes.

Should I still verify my own filings with the IRS?

Yes. Regardless of who you hire, it’s good practice to confirm directly with the IRS or your state tax agency that your returns were actually filed and accepted.

The bottom line

Prestige Tax Group is the safe default on this list, with the deepest review base and a perfect rating, while Abeye Hailu and MiklosCPA suit anyone looking for a long-term relationship or help catching up on back taxes. Whoever you choose, ask for the license number and confirm your filing was actually submitted.
