We structure, plan, and file for clients whose affairs span multiple entities, properties, and income streams — with the rigor of a large firm and the attention of a partner who knows your file.
We concentrate on clients whose tax position is shaped by ownership structure, real property, and California’s rules — and we build the work around that structure, not around a single return.
Entity design, partnership compliance, 1031 exchanges, depreciation and cost-segregation coordination across portfolios held in multiple LLCs.
Consolidated compliance and planning for restaurant and hospitality operators running many locations under common ownership.
Owner compensation, the California PTE elective tax, shareholder transactions, and year-end planning modeled before December — not after.
Loan-out corporations, multistate residuals and touring income, and planning for writers, performers, producers, and athletes whose earnings arrive unevenly.
RSUs, ISOs and NSOs, AMT exposure, 83(b) elections, and liquidity events — modeled before you exercise or sell, not after.
Individual, gift, and trust returns for owners and their families, coordinated with their attorneys, wealth advisors, and bankers.
We map every entity, owner, and property before advising on any one of them, so decisions hold up across the whole group.
Projections and planning meetings each fall, while the decisions that move your liability are still available.
We coordinate directly with your attorneys, lenders, and wealth managers, so advice arrives as one plan rather than several.
Ricky founded Echevy & Associates to give business owners, investors, and families the depth of a large-firm tax practice with direct partner involvement. His work centers on family offices, real estate and hospitality groups, entertainment, and equity compensation.

He holds a Master of Business Taxation from the University of Southern California and a bachelor’s degree in accounting from California State University, Northridge, and is a Certified Public Accountant licensed in California.
A Los Angeles native, Ricky lives here with his wife and daughter. Outside the office, you’ll find him on the basketball court or soccer field, in the gym, trying a new restaurant, traveling, or at the park with his family.
