What services does a full-service CPA firm provide?

A full-service CPA firm like Duffy Kruspodin provides tax planning and compliance for individuals and businesses, audit and assurance services, outsourced accounting and CFO services, business operations support including HR, IT, and marketing, transaction advisory services such as business valuations and due diligence, and wealth management. The key advantage is having all of these disciplines under one roof so your advisors can coordinate across your financial picture.

What is the difference between a CPA and an accountant?

A CPA (Certified Public Accountant) has passed the Uniform CPA Examination and met state licensing requirements including education and experience thresholds. CPAs can perform services that general accountants cannot, such as issuing audited financial statements, representing clients before the IRS, and signing tax returns as paid preparers. When you work with a CPA-led firm, you get licensed professionals who are held to strict ethical and continuing education standards.

How do I know which CPA services my business needs?

The services you need depend on your business stage and complexity. Most businesses start with tax compliance and basic accounting. As you grow, you may need outsourced accounting or controller services for financial reporting, audit and assurance for investors or lenders, transaction advisory for acquisitions or exits, and business operations support for HR and IT. A good CPA firm will assess your current situation and recommend the right mix of services for where you are today and where you're headed.

Does Duffy Kruspodin work with businesses outside of California?

Yes. While Duffy Kruspodin is rooted in California with offices in San Diego, Irvine, Woodland Hills, and Beverly Hills, the firm serves clients nationwide. The team handles multistate tax compliance, federal filings, and advisory services for businesses operating across the United States.

What industries does Duffy Kruspodin specialize in?

Duffy Kruspodin has deep industry expertise in Real Estate, Professional Services, Construction, Restaurants and Hospitality, Arts, Sports and Entertainment, Manufacturing and Distribution, and Not-for-Profit organizations. Each industry has unique accounting, tax, and compliance requirements, and the firm tailors its services accordingly.

How long has Duffy Kruspodin been in practice?

Duffy Kruspodin has been in practice for over 35 years, with a team of more than 200 professionals. The firm has been recognized as a Top 150 CPA Firm and has earned Best of Accounting awards. Many client relationships span 20 to 30 years, reflecting the firm's commitment to long-term partnership.
