About the Position

About Fishman, Block + Diamond (“FBD”)

FBD is a full-service very sophisticated accounting firm that specializes in representing very high net worth individuals and their various businesses with a high concentration in the real estate industry. We do not accept clients that generate less than $25,000 a year in fees and do not accept once a year tax clients. We also do not do bookkeeping work. We specialize in Tax Planning, Tax Services, Trusts & Estates, Accounting and Auditing, Entertainment and Business Management, and Business Advisory and Consulting Services.

Consisting of over thirty employees and five partners, we have dedicated ourselves to hiring and retaining the highest caliber of accountants and administrative personnel possible. Our clients and their employees can always count on receiving personal attention and a rapid response.

Unlike many professional firms, our staff members form a team working closely with our clients. We retain our employees and have many that have been with the firm more than 25 years. The devotion to continuity, staying technically proficient and providing the highest quality work possible has allowed FBD to grow into one of the larger firms in Los Angeles.

We do not actively market our firm in any way. The partners spend the majority of their professional time serving clients. We only grow and maintain our practice through the referral of satisfied clients and their teams of professional advisors. We are truly independent financial advisors. We do not accept commissions or referral fees, and we do not sell any financial services products.

Our firm makes a strong commitment to working with and investing in technology which allows us to promote a work-life balance that enables you to work anywhere and anytime.
