You're not a ticket number
You should actually know the people doing your books.
Most accounting firms feel cold, transactional, hard to reach. We've spent 45 years building the opposite — a firm where clients pick up the phone because they want to talk to us, not because something's on fire.
Start a conversation →We know your story
Your family, your business, the inflection points you're navigating. Long-term advisors actually remember the conversation from last quarter.
Proactive, not reactive
We reach out before deadlines and decisions, not after. The relationship is built on heads-up calls, not cleanup work.
We root for you
Your wins are our wins. Multi-generational client relationships happen because we genuinely care about the businesses we partner with.
Built for founders & owners
Work smarter. Grow faster. Stress less.
We work with entrepreneurs and business owners who are too busy building something to wrestle with their finances. We bring the strategic clarity, tax muscle, and proactive guidance that lets you focus on the part only you can do — the business.
Scale without the chaos
Financial systems that grow with you, not against you.
Tax strategy on autopilot
Year-round planning, not a panicked April scramble.
Advisory that compounds
The strategic voice in every major decision.
Clarity over guesswork
Real numbers, real visibility, real confidence.
The people behind the firm
The kind of CPAs you'd actually grab a drink with.
We take the work seriously. Ourselves? Less so. Forty-five years in, the personality hasn't been polished out of this place — and that's exactly why clients stay.
The whole crew
115+ professionals. One family. Three generations of entrepreneurial energy in Cypress, California.
"We laugh a lot. And we file a lot of returns."
Firm motto, unofficial

The story
Founded by twin brothers Mike and Pat Murphy — who started preparing returns out of the trunks of their cars after leaving Big 8 firms. When their father B. Patrick Murphy merged his practice in, Murphy, Murphy & Murphy was born. Three generations later, the spirit hasn't changed.
What we do
Five ways we show up for the businesses we love.
Full-service, but never one-size-fits-all. We meet you wherever you are — first hire or hundredth, first quarter or fortieth year.
Tax Strategy
Year-round planning. Real strategy. Never just compliance.

Some of our clients have been with us longer than their own kids have been alive.
We don't market hard. We don't have to. The firm has grown for 45 years on referrals, long-term partnerships, and the kind of trust that gets passed from one generation of business owners to the next.
