Many of our clients are individuals and small-to-mid sized business entities (i.e., corporations, partnerships, and LLCs) who are involved in industries and professions such as entertainment, real estate, health care (doctors and dentists), legal, creative & design, finance, technology, non-profit, high net worth individuals, and other service oriented industries and professions who value the expertise of only a top-notch CPA firm.

The level and quality of service we provide are often only seen in large accounting firms. The key to our success is our personal commitment to helping our clients achieve their goals and objectives. We hold our client’s hand every step of the way!

At Cory Franklin & Associates, Inc., we take pride in developing efficient and effective tax and accounting services that can pay for nearly all their own costs through money and time saved:

Mission

At Cory Franklin & Associates, Inc., our mission is to assume the burden of the financial, accounting, and tax needs for each of our clients, enabling them to devote themselves wholly to the development and operation of their businesses or professions. We create an environment of free-flowing communication, by embodying the spirit of excellence, dedication, and responsiveness. We foster the belief that only by becoming your most trusted and involved financial advisor can we provide you with the support you need to successfully build and grow your business.

For most, taxes are by far the single greatest expense incurred over one’s lifetime. We also understand that no two clients are alike. Therefore, we continually stay abreast on the ever-changing landscape of tax laws and search for new opportunities and developments and analyze their implications, all which can help us create unique tax savings strategies specifically tailored to each client. We realize that each client has special needs and we are interested in learning about you, your business, and your individual needs in order to help make you money and keep it.

Our CPA firm offers a no-cost, no obligation consultation to determine if we can help potential clients achieve tax savings through strategic and thoughtful tax planning and tax preparation. We also provide our clients with other outstanding business solutions and services, such as accounting, bookkeeping, QuickBooks services, business management services, and IRS audit representation, to name a few. During this consultation, we will review your current financial information and prior year tax returns, discuss your current needs, and identify potential tax savings strategies.

We are located in Beverly Hills, California and serve the greater Los Angeles and Southern California area (including Hollywood, West Hollywood, Brentwood, Westwood, Bel Air, Culver City, Century City, Santa Monica, Venice, Studio City, Burbank, Sherman Oaks, South Bay/Long Beach, Orange County, Palm Springs, and San Diego).

About Us:

Cory R. Franklin, CPA

Cory R. Franklin, Owner & President, began the firm in Beverly Hills in 2009. Cory is a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) with over 15 years of tax and accounting experience. Prior to launching Cory Franklin & Associates, Inc., Cory was the Director of Taxes & Audits at a mid-sized CPA firm in Los Angeles where he performed substantial tax planning, compliance, and accounting services. He worked primarily with high net worth individuals and small to mid-sized companies within a number of industries and professions. He was also responsible for successfully representing many of the firm's clients in IRS and state agency tax audits. Additionally, he performed extensive tax research on numerous IRS and state level tax advisory issues and provided written opinions and solutions on these issues.

After graduating from college in 1994, Cory began his career at the international accounting firm KPMG. He was responsible for implementing federal, state, and local tax minimization strategies for a number of high profile clients, many of them being Fortune 500 companies. He performed extensive tax consulting and research pertaining to federal, state, and local and payroll and employment tax issues. Additionally, he conducted comprehensive financial statement audits of large corporations for several of KPMG's clients.

After his successful career at KPMG, Cory decided to broaden his expertise and accepted a Tax Director position at California State University, Long Beach. He was responsible for ensuring tax compliance throughout all departments within the University and the entire CSU system. He implemented policies and procedures relating to nonprofit tax compliance, employment taxes, sales taxes, 1099 payments to contractors, and issues relating to international taxes of foreign students, faculty, and guest speakers. Additionally, during his time at the University, he maintained an outside tax preparation and consulting business where he worked primarily with individuals and small business entities.

Cory has found that the 15+ years of experience he has acquired during his career of working with both large and small clients greatly lends to the unique strategies and solutions he is able to provide to his clients.
