About LYP

Senior-led, partner-executed, in two languages.

LYP Tax Advisors LLC is a U.S.-based CPA and tax advisory firm serving privately held businesses, their owners and foreign-owned U.S. companies. We handle the year-round work of tax, accounting and CFO support, and the moments that matter most: acquisitions, buyouts and ownership changes.

Our work is led by partners, not handed down. Each of our three partners brings more than 30 years of U.S. experience, from Ernst & Young’s audit practice to running finance on a $250 million budget. Clients come to us for a practical read on U.S. reporting, tax and compliance, in English or Spanish.
