BPM Named to LA Times Studios’ 2026 Top Accounting and Business Advisory Firms Lists in Los Angeles and Orange County
September 28, 2026
BPM is pleased to share that it has been named to both LA Times Studios’ 2026 Top Accounting and Business Advisory Firms lists, ranking #25 in Los Angeles County and #22 in Orange County. The recognition reflects the Firm’s growing presence across Southern California and the strength of the teams serving clients throughout the region.
“Los Angeles and Orange County are home to some of the most dynamic businesses in the country, and we are proud to be part of that community,” said Kyle Bybee, BPM Tax Partner and Managing Partner of the South Coast Region. “This recognition belongs to our colleagues who show up for clients with care and curiosity, and who invest their time in the organizations that make this region thrive. As we continue to grow here, our commitment stays the same: be the trusted advisor our clients call first and be a good neighbor in the places we are fortunate enough to call home.”
The recognition arrives alongside continued investment in the region. BPM will open a new Los Angeles office later this year, giving the Firm’s Southern California teams a modern home base to collaborate and serve clients across the market.
The Top Accounting and Business Advisory Firms lists are produced annually by LA Times Studios, which invites firms across the region to submit data. Firms are ranked by the number of CPAs based in their Los Angeles County and Orange County offices, with separate lists published for each market. Submissions also capture accounting professional and employee headcount, services offered, industries served, and local leadership.
The 2026 lists were published in the Business by LA Times Studios magazine, distributed with the Sunday print edition of the Los Angeles Times, and available online.
These rankings offer a transparent, data-driven look at which firms have meaningful scale and depth in a given market, which matters to clients. Depth of local CPA talent means faster response times, deeper knowledge of the regional business landscape, and teams that can grow alongside the companies they serve. For BPM, appearing on both lists signals that the Firm is not just present in Southern California, but building for the long term there.
It is also a reflection of the people behind the work. BPM’s placement is the direct result of colleagues choosing to build their careers in LA and Orange County, and clients choosing to trust them.
