Every engagement is led by an experienced partner, which means the person advising you actually understands your numbers, your goals, and your business.
Big-Firm Expertise Based in Manhattan Beach, California
DSA was founded by partners who spent their careers inside the world’s largest accounting firms. We built DSA to bring that level of rigor to the individuals and growing businesses who are too often underserved, the ones who face challenges every bit as complex as a large corporation, but without a dedicated financial team to navigate them. For Manhattan Beach clients, that translates into:

Financial Guidance Built for the Manhattan Beach Market
Manhattan Beach is home to a concentration of successful professionals, founders, and equity-compensated employees — many tied to the tech, aerospace, and creative industries clustered across the South Bay and neighboring El Segundo. That profile brings real financial complexity: equity compensation and RSU planning, high-earner and multi-state tax exposure, appreciated real estate, and the layered demands of running a business in one of the country’s highest-tax states.
It also brings local obligations that are easy to overlook: California’s state and local tax landscape, city business license and renewal requirements, and sales-and-use compliance for the area’s many retail, hospitality, and service businesses. DSA helps you stay ahead of all of it, with a partner who knows both the technical detail and the local context. Because our office is right here on North Sepulveda Boulevard, working with us is genuinely local. We’re available for in-person meetings when it matters and responsive year-round—not just at filing season.
