SMB CPA Group, PC is a CPA firm located in Los Angeles, California serving clients in California, Nevada, Arizona, Utah, New York, New Jersey, Texas, Florida, Washington, and Hawaii. We are a team of certified public accountants, business accountants, and tax advisors with extensive experience in industry–focused accounting, financial reporting, tax, and general business advisory. Our clients retain us for our sound and practical advice, high-quality and timely deliverables, and transparent communications — clients buy access to excellence, not our time.
An important distinction that has helped us achieve high client satisfaction and deliver high-quality results is that we constantly remind ourselves that clients are not just in need of services; they are in need of solutions—answers to their questions, assistance with compliance functions, guidance in planning for the future, and professional support in thinking through issues. Understanding the difference between a service and a solution is critical, and our clients have come to understand this distinction well.
We work with closely held businesses, business owners, and individuals or households with moderate-to-advanced tax and accounting needs. To meet these needs, we’ve selected the most intuitive, organized, and frictionless processes and technology. Everything—from communication methods, document sharing, and meetings to project management tools and accounting software—has been designed with you [and us] in mind.
Our firm offers comprehensive accounting and tax solutions, but we focus on six primary industries. This industry focus, without limitations on services, enables us to provide a true end-to-end experience for business clients while maintaining quality deliverables and practical advice.
"What became apparent immediately before the founding of SMB CPA Group, PC was that size does not correspond to quality service or depth of knowledge because large and middle market accounting firms are consumed by firm-level processes, profitability, and performance metrics without focusing on their contributions to client success...
We're a small CPA firm with technological leverage and expertise built for and dedicated to small businesses and their owners. Ultimately our pedigree results in big firm capabilities and quality."

Managing Principal and CPA
Levon Galstyan founded SMB CPA Group, PC in 2021 and the firm has grown rapidly since inception. Levon and his team have extensive experience in providing integrative finance, accounting, and tax solutions to his client base of small and medium-sized businesses, business owners, high-net-worth families, and tax-designated real estate professionals.
Levon's career began at PwC in the firm's Assurance practice in Los Angeles. In 2019 he took his expertise from PwC to several mid-tier CPA firms to offer tax and assurance solutions to business entities and high-net-worth families at a regional level. Noticing gaps in expertise, service, and quality work, he founded SMB CPA Group, PC [previously Cruncher Accounting, PC] to modernize the client experience and deliver big-firm expertise to his preferred client base.
Levon holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Accounting from California State University, Northridge. He is a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) in California, an Accredited Estate Planner® (AEP®), and an active member of CalCPA, AICPA, and the San Fernando Valley Estate Planning Council.
A resident of Toluca Lake, he and his wife are active members of the Toluca Lake Chamber of Commerce, the Sherman Oaks Chamber of Commerce, and the Glendale Chamber of Commerce advocating for small businesses, business owners, and financial literacy.
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."
