Milestone Certified Public Accountants logo — boutique CPA firm Pleasanton CA

A BOUTIQUE BAY AREA CPA FIRM

Built for business owners, real estate investors, and the families they support.

Three kinds of clients in the Bay Area need a CPA who actually understands their world. Year-round counsel. Flat fees. One partner on every engagement.

Principal-Led

Ronak Bhatt, CPA, MBA leads every engagement personally.

Flat-Fee Pricing

Scoped before we begin. No hourly billing surprises.

Year-Round Access

A CPA you can reach in October, not just April.

Nationwide Practice

Bay Area based. Multi-state filings and remote clients.

WHO WE SERVE

Three groups. Three playbooks. One CPA partner.

Each door leads to a page built around what you actually need, in language that doesn't assume you went to accounting school.

FOR BUSINESS OWNERS

Year-round counsel for owner-led firms.

Books that drive decisions. We work alongside you through hiring, partner buy-ins, expansion, and every quarterly call that shapes the next year.

For Business Owners →

FOR REAL ESTATE INVESTORS

5 to 50 properties. A CPA who reads K-1s.

Cost segregation that lands. 1031s timed before you sign. Investor reporting your LPs can read. East Bay and Tri-Valley deal flow is our backyard.

For Real Estate Operators →

FOR HIGH-EARNING FAMILIES

Wealth that needs to last more than one generation.

Estate plans that don't sit in a drawer. Trust returns done right. Business interests, brokerage accounts, and family LLCs that coordinate.

For Families →

WHAT CHANGES WHEN YOU WORK WITH US

Three things our clients tell us they didn't know to ask for, until they had it.

01

One CPA, end to end.

The person on your strategy call is the person reading your return. No relay race between a tax partner, a bookkeeper, and an audit manager who have never spoken to each other.

02

Tax, accounting, and advisory as one engagement.

Year-end planning starts in October because we already see the books in October. Decisions get modeled before the year closes, not after the return is filed.

03

A CPA who takes the time to understand you.

Your business, your family, your priorities. Not just your file. So the advice fits your actual life instead of a template.

FROM THE FOUNDER

I built Milestone for the conversations I never got to have at the big firms.

I spent years at large national firms watching the same pattern. Smart, capable business owners getting service that did not match what they were paying. CPAs who only showed up at the deadline. Advice that played it safe because nobody had the time to actually understand the situation.

Milestone exists to do the opposite. Flat fees you can predict. Year-round access to a CPA who knows your business. Advice specific to what you are building, not generic guidance copied from a template.

WHO WE WORK BEST WITH

If two or more of these describe your situation, we should talk.

Not everyone is the right fit. Here is what tends to bring people through the door.

01

Your current CPA only shows up at the deadline.

Tax season feels reactive. You want a partner who is planning with you in October, not telling you what happened in March.

02

Your business and personal financial life are tied together.

Real estate income, business distributions, equity comp, family entities. You need someone who sees the whole picture, not just one tax return.

03

You want to make better decisions, not just file forms.

Hire or wait. Buy or lease. Distribute or reinvest. You want a CPA who can model the trade-off, not just record it after the fact.

A COMPLIMENTARY CONSULTATION

Let's see if we are a fit.

A 30-minute call to review your situation and tell you honestly whether Milestone is the right CPA partner. Every inbound is read by a partner, with a response within one business day.
