Stephanie A. Shepherd
Certified Public Accountant
Verified Licensed
Location Boulder Creek, California 95006
Based in Boulder Creek, California, Stephanie A. Shepherd provides accounting and financial planning services to a diverse client base, including small and medium-sized businesses, entrepreneurs, and startups.

California maintains one of the largest and most competitive CPA markets in the nation. The California Board of Accountancy requires 150 semester units of education and specific ethics coursework for licensure. CPAs must complete 80 hours of continuing education every two years, including 20 hours in accounting and auditing subjects and 2 hours of regulatory review.

Key Tax Considerations: California has its own complex tax code separate from federal regulations, with the highest state income tax rates in the nation. CPAs commonly handle Franchise Tax Board audits, California LLC fees ($800 annual minimum), sales and use tax compliance, and multi-state tax allocations. The state's high-income population creates strong demand for estate planning, wealth management, and stock option taxation services.

Industry Specializations: Technology startups (especially Silicon Valley), entertainment and media (Los Angeles), agriculture (Central Valley), international trade, venture capital, real estate, and cannabis businesses are major focus areas. Many CPAs specialize in R&D tax credits, stock option and equity compensation taxation, film production accounting, and cryptocurrency taxation.

For CPA Professionals: The California Society of CPAs (CalCPA) offers extensive networking and continuing education opportunities across multiple chapters. Major concentrations of firms exist in Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego, Sacramento, and Silicon Valley. Competition is intense in metro areas but rural regions often experience CPA shortages. The state offers diverse practice opportunities but comes with high cost of living and complex regulatory requirements.
