CPA, Founder
Daniel Ariel, CPA
Daniel Ariel, CPA is a Certified Public Accountant and graduate of the University of California, Santa Barbara, where he earned his degree in Economics & Accounting in 2019.
After graduating, Daniel built his career in public accounting and went on to earn his CPA license. Along the way he developed a solid technical grounding in tax compliance, proactive planning, and practical problem-solving for individuals and privately held businesses. That hands-on experience shaped the thorough, client-focused approach he brings to every engagement.
In 2021, Daniel founded Finance Fellas, a Los Angeles–based firm offering tax preparation, tax planning, bookkeeping, payroll, and advisory services, both virtually and in person. He specializes in serving law firms, medical practices, real estate investors, and other closely held businesses, along with the individuals behind them. His clients want more than a once-a-year filing. They want a CPA who understands their industry, knows their full financial picture, and helps them plan ahead.
Outside the office
Daniel can usually be found outdoors. He loves backpacking through the Sierra Nevada Mountains, and in the winter months he spends as much time as he can skiing and snowboarding at Mammoth Mountain, his home mountain.
“If you feel like you’re paying more in taxes than you should, or your current CPA isn’t giving you the attention you need, let’s talk. Together we can keep more of what you earn and build a stronger financial future.”
