SMB CPA Group, PC is a CPA firm based in Los Angeles, California, serving clients nationwide. We are a team of certified public accountants, business accountants, and tax advisors with deep expertise in industry-focused accounting, financial reporting, tax, and general business advisory. Clients choose us for our sound, practical advice; high-quality, timely deliverables; and transparent communication — because we deliver excellence, not just our time.
The firm was established to provide personalized, thoughtful solutions to clients with moderate to advanced tax, accounting, and business matters. Our clients value guidance, timely insights, and results beyond mere compliance. We do not work with clients that have straightforward needs or that expect a transactional relationship.
Our Philosophy: Service vs. Solution
One of the most important principles that sets us apart is our focus on solutions rather than mere services. We remind ourselves — and our clients — that they are not simply in need of services, but in need of solutions. This means providing not only answers to and assistance with compliance matters, but also guidance for the future and clear, professional support in resolving complex issues. Understanding the difference between offering a service and delivering a solution has been critical to our clients’ satisfaction and success. This approach is reflected in how we operate our firm and how we conduct ourselves as professionals.
How We Work
We work closely with business owners, closely held businesses, and individuals or households with moderate to advanced tax and accounting needs. To meet these needs, we employ intuitive, organized, and frictionless processes, supported by leading technology. From communication methods and document sharing to project management tools and accounting software — everything we do is designed with our clients in mind.
Our Solutions
Many of our clients come to us after years of frustration and uncertainty — unsure of their accountant's role in their business and personal finances, disappointed by vague communication, and left with unmet expectations. We take a different approach: every engagement begins with a clear understanding of your needs, an honest assessment of whether there is a mutual fit, and a defined scope of work. From there, we recommend one of three solution paths:
‣ Tax Compliance Only (TCO): For clients who only require timely and accurate tax compliance, but have moderate to complex future needs.
‣ Tax Compliance, Strategy, and Planning (TCSP): For clients who desire proactive tax planning, strategy, and guidance alongside compliance.
‣ Custom Scope of Work (CSOW): For situations that demand a fully tailored engagement beyond our standard offerings.
Why We Are Different
We provide comprehensive accounting and tax solutions, specializing in six core industries — Real Estate, Creatives, Technology, Professional Services, Personal Care, Healthcare & Medical Offices. Unlike larger firms that focus on rigid internal processes and metrics, we remain focused on what truly matters: our clients’ success.

Managing Principal
SMB CPA Group, PC
Levon Galstian, CPA, AEP®, is the Founder and Managing Principal of SMB CPA Group, PC, a boutique tax and advisory firm headquartered in Los Angeles. Since its founding in 2021, the firm has grown rapidly, serving a select clientele of closely held businesses, high-net-worth families, and real estate professionals with complex tax accounting and advisory needs.
Prior to launching SMB CPA Group, Levon gained experience at a variety of national and regional CPA firms, advising sophisticated clients across multiple industries on tax, assurance, and financial matters. His exposure to a wide range of client needs and firm environments shaped his vision for a more refined and client-centered advisory experience.
SMB CPA Group was established to deliver the technical excellence of a large firm with the attentiveness and flexibility of a boutique practice—bringing clarity, strategy, and high-caliber execution to every client relationship.
Levon holds a Bachelor of Science in Accounting from California State University, Northridge, and is a Certified Public Accountant licensed in California. He is also an Accredited Estate Planner® (AEP®) and an active member of the California Society of CPAs (CalCPA), the American Institute of CPAs (AICPA), and the San Fernando Valley Estate Planning Council.
Cruncher Accounting was founded by Levon Galstyan, CPA. Levon has extensive experience in small business accounting, assurance, and entity & individual tax planning and tax return preparation. This exposure to technical areas of accounting and taxation coupled with years of experience interfacing with C-suite executives and strategic business leaders allows him to lead his team and clients to optimal solutions with confidence.
Levon began his career in 2016 at PwC's Los Angeles office providing solutions to private equity, hedge fund, and other alternative investment management funds, the sponsors of these funds, and the underlying portfolio companies which included financial services, e-commerce, software technology, and real estate finance. In 2019 he took his experience working on sophisticated and demanding clients to Moss Adams, LLP to provide the same level of service to small and medium size businesses. After several years in the practice of public accounting, it became clear that tailored audit and tax solutions were not readily available at reasonable cost to small and medium businesses. This lack of service and inability to adequately service small businesses and startups forced Levon to start his own practice; this gave rise to Cruncher Accounting.
Levon holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Accounting and Finance with honors from the David Nazarian College of Business and Economics at California State University, Northridge. He is a licensed Certified Public Accountant (CPA) in the state of California, an IRS Enrolled Agent (EA), and member at the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) and the California Society of CPAs (CalCPA).
"What became apparent immediately before the founding of Cruncher Accounting was that size does not correspond to quality service or depth of knowledge because large and middle market accounting firms are consumed by processes, profitability, and performance metrics that measure macro firm-level successes without focusing on client successes.
There are practically no metrics at typical CPA firms that measure client success. I wanted to start a firm that measured its success based on its clients' success; a firm that was concerned with client revenue growth, client geographic expansion, reduced tax liability, business owner's confidence in our team, business owner's satisfaction with our level of service, and determine how much of Cruncher Accounting's involvement helped result in those successes. It is a time-consuming and resource-draining endeavor, but small business owners deserve this level of service in a regulatory environment that is complex and highly technical.
In addition, many small CPA firms lack end-to-end solutions, such as business entity selection; formation and consulting; systems implementation and bookkeeping; tax planning and preparation; and accounting and assurance services.We are a small CPA firm built for and dedicated to small businesses, their owners, and individual clients, but our pedigree results in big firm capabilities and quality."
