Regional CPA firm serving mid-market businesses, government, and nonprofits
LSL is a 95-year-old CPA partnership with ~100–200 staff operating across the United States from Orange County, CA. The firm's tech stack is almost entirely Microsoft and finance-application-native (Office, Teams, QuickBooks, Workday, Workiva, Caseware) — no custom engineering infrastructure — yet maintains 1 active engineering hire, suggesting early-stage investment in audit-automation or reporting tooling to address stated pain points around audit efficiency and ACFR/GASB compliance automation.
LSL provides tax, audit, advisory, and accounting services to mid-market businesses, government agencies, and nonprofits. The firm operates across nine industry specialties including government, healthcare, manufacturing, real estate, and not-for-profit sectors. With capacity to serve larger organizations while maintaining personal service standards, LSL conducts peer reviews on other CPA firms and leverages a team of senior partners and emerging leaders. Current hiring is concentrated in finance (14 roles), with active projects centered on complex tax and accounting work, financial reporting, and government compliance (GASB, ACFR).
