About the firm
Two friends, two CPAs, one firm
Jon Gabai and Aviel Ashkenazi started A&G CPAs to give clients the kind of attention they could not find at larger firms.
We give therapists, healthcare practitioners and real estate professionals something rare in accounting: two CPAs who know their business, lead the work themselves, and stand behind every number. Proactive strategy, careful work and honest advice, year after year.
We grow with you.
Our story
We were side by side through our entire accounting education at USC and through the CPA exam. We went on to work at different firms, but we always knew we would come back together and build our own. A&G is that firm, started to fill the gaps we saw at larger firms and the Big 4 when it came to client service and support.
The focus on therapists came from helping set up Jon’s wife’s psychology practice. Aviel’s wife is an associate MFT working toward her license, and we will build her practice the same way. So we know this world from the inside.
The partners
The partners behind the firm
Aviel Ashkenazi, CPA
Partner
Aviel helps clients get organized, so they always know where their money is going and what to expect. He makes the numbers easy to follow, even for people who have never looked at a financial report.
His wife is a marriage and family therapist working toward her license, and he is helping her build her practice the same way. He knows firsthand what new practice owners go through.

Jonathan Gabai, CPA
Partner
Jon helps business owners understand their numbers, plan ahead, and avoid surprises at tax time. He is at his best taking something that feels overwhelming and turning it into a clear, simple plan.
When his wife opened her psychology practice, Jon helped her set it up from scratch and still helps run the business side today. That experience is a big reason the firm works with so many therapists.
He is a graduate of the University of Southern California.
How we work
A small client list
We cap how many clients we take on. It means we turn work away, and it also means we remember your situation without having to look it up.
Partner-led
Every engagement is led by one of us. The partner you meet on the intro call stays your point of contact and knows your situation.
Defensible, not aggressive
We will find everything you are entitled to and explain the reasoning in writing. We will not take a position we would be uncomfortable defending.
Let’s get to know each other
A 15-minute call is the easiest way to find out whether we are the right firm for you.
