There are many accounting firms in Los Angeles that are extremely successful and have a whole slew of clients. But as technology advances, these firms have to respond. A recent launch of a law firm in the region did just that: Leverage – a cloud accounting company began operations last month which is only going to be beneficial to clients. According to CEO and founder of the firm, Michelle Richardson, cloud accounting provides “an opportunity to make the power and expertise of full accounting departments accessible to everyone…[enabling the firm to offer professionals, startups and small businesses possibilities and a level of service that was previously only available to much larger companies.”

Who else is working well as an accountant in the area? Earlier this year, the Los Angeles Business Journal’s Los Angeles County’s Top Accounting Firm ranked Prager Metis as Number 58 on its list.
