Meet Talar Pakhchanian, CPA
Experience. Guidance. Better Decisions.
Talar Pakhchanian is a Certified Public Accountant with more than 25 years of experience in accounting, taxation, auditing, and business advisory services.
Understanding Businesses From the Inside Out.
Talar graduated from Loyola Marymount University in 2000 with a Bachelor of Science in Accounting. Early in her career, Talar began in public accounting as an auditor, eventually joining a top 10 national accounting firm where she performed financial statement audits for both publicly traded and privately held companies. This experience provided a strong foundation in financial reporting, internal controls, and understanding the financial operations of businesses from the inside out.
As her career progressed, Talar transitioned her focus to taxation—a field she continues to enjoy today. What drew her to tax, and what continues to make her profession meaningful, is the opportunity to be involved in the real-life circumstances and decisions her clients face every day.
For Talar, tax is about much more than preparing a return. Whether a client is growing a business, making an investment, buying or selling property, planning for retirement, or considering another financial decision, she enjoys being someone clients can turn to for guidance.
Throughout her career, Talar has worked with individuals, entrepreneurs, business owners, partnerships, corporations, estates, trusts, and nonprofit organizations. She specializes in professional service businesses and has extensive experience in real estate, entertainment, healthcare, and e-commerce. Her experience includes tax compliance and planning, multi-state taxation, business transitions, accounting, entity structure, and federal and state tax matters.
Before Decisions Are Made.
Over more than 25 years in the profession, one thing has remained consistent: clients benefit most when conversations happen before decisions are made. That philosophy is at the heart of Better Solutions today.
Rather than focusing solely on preparing a tax return after the year is over, Talar works with clients throughout the year to identify opportunities, anticipate potential tax implications, and make better-informed decisions. She takes the time to understand each client's circumstances, explain complex topics in straightforward language, and provide practical options.
Talar believes that understanding the potential impact of a decision before it is made takes much of the uncertainty out of the process. By looking ahead, clients can better understand their options, make decisions with greater confidence, and encounter fewer surprises along the way.

Outside of the office, Talar enjoys reading, traveling, and spending time at the beach. A good book, a new destination, or a little time near the ocean is her favorite way to recharge.
