My nickname is Rudy, and I'm a CPA based in Mendocino County, California. I'm a different kind of CPA. I intentionally keep a small client base so I can be responsive, turn work around quickly, and give each client the attention they deserve. You won't be one of hundreds. I don't just file last year's return and move on. I stay with you throughout the year, working with you on both the business and personal sides of your financial life. I work with large and medium-sized businesses, closely held companies and their owners, families, and high-net-worth individuals—including clients with complex, multi-entity situations—throughout the San Francisco Bay Area and Northern California. Warmest Regards, ~Rudy > When you call or write, you're talking to me. > > [Let's talk](#let-s-talk) ## What Clients Are Saying ###### Healdsburg Oral Surgery Rudy has been an outstanding CPA for both our business and personal taxes.
