Tax
Zach has over twenty-five years of extensive multi-state planning and compliance experience in public accounting. As a tax partner at KPMG Peat Marwick, where he spent approximately twelve years, Zach specialized in providing professional tax services to closely held, owner-managed companies and publicly traded companies, including consolidated groups. At HCVT, Zach's client base is concentrated primarily in the service, real estate and manufacturing industries. Zach opened both the Woodland Hills and Oxnard offices of KPMG Peat Marwick prior to joining the HCVT team.
Since most of Zach's clients are owner-managers, many of his clients operate through either ‘S' corporations or partnerships. Of course, individual tax planning is a necessary expertise as a result of his owner-manager client base.
In 1992, Zach established the Westlake Village office of HCVT. Since the founding of that office, it has nearly tripled in staff size. Additionally, Zach is involved as a speaker and planner for various professional conferences relating to taxation.
Zach graduated from the University of California at Los Angeles with a bachelor's degree in political science. He is a member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants,(AICPA) the California Society of Certified Public Accountants, and a member of the AICPA Tax Division. Zach has served on the planning committee for California Society of CPAs conferences and has spoken to CPAs on technical topics.
