Your Los Angeles CPA for Tax, Accounting and CFO Advisory
Los Angeles is one of the most dynamic business markets in the country, with industries spanning entertainment, real estate, tech, hospitality and professional services. In a city this competitive, you need a CPA who does more than file returns. You need proactive tax strategy and executive-level financial insight. That is where Eric Ting, your dedicated Los Angeles CPA , comes in.
As an Associate Principal at Dark Horse CPAs, Eric delivers more than compliance. He specializes in tax planning accounting advisory , and Fractional CFO services built for the demands of LA entrepreneurs, professionals and families. From minimizing tax liability and navigating California's complex tax landscape to providing strategic budgeting, cash flow management and long-term growth planning, Eric brings clarity and confidence to your financial decisions.
With Eric, you gain a trusted partner who combines Big 4 experience with a hands-on, relationship-first approach. He started his career at a Big 4 firm right here in Los Angeles, and he brings that depth of knowledge to every client he serves across the greater LA area.
Eric Ting, CPA, Associate Principal
The tax landscape in California is not forgiving, and most people are not getting the proactive guidance they need. My goal is to be the CPA who is in it with you year-round, not someone who shows up once a year to file your return. That is the only way to make real progress on your tax situation.
Accounting Solutions for Businesses.
The Problem: Business owners aren't getting timely, accurate and actionable data from their financials. Even worse, they're not receiving tax planning advice from their, "tax pro," which is costing them untold amounts of money. This is just plain wrong. We believe you deserve a better small business accounting firm.
Eric Ting, CPA, Associate Principal
In a market like Los Angeles, business owners need a CPA who is plugged in year-round, not just at tax time. I have seen too many businesses overpay or miss opportunities because their accountant was not involved in the day-to-day financial decisions. When your tax person and your accounting person are the same team, you get a complete picture. That is where real savings happen.
Tax Services for People.
The Problem: It’s not until you file your personal tax return that you feel the full weight of California's tax burden. Between state income tax rates that rank among the highest in the nation and federal complexity, most Angelenos are paying more than they should. We believe in No Surprises, especially the bad kind. That is why every engagement at Dark Horse includes proactive Tax Planning with your CPA. Not as an add-on. As the foundation.
Eric Ting, CPA, Associate Principal
Tax Preparation without Tax Planning is a missed opportunity. The real value is in the conversations that happen before the big financial decisions, not after. When we plan ahead, we can minimize risk and reduce your tax burden proactively. That is what separates compliance from real strategy.
