Chris Li, CPA
Certified Public Accountant, New York
A CPA Built for NYC Small Business
Growing up in Queens, I watched countless hardworking business owners โ restaurant owners, salon operators, retail shop founders โ struggle with the complexity of the U.S. tax code. Between federal, state, and NYC taxes, most small business owners were leaving money on the table without even knowing it.
That experience is what drove me to become a CPA. I wanted to be the advisor that NYC small business owners actually needed โ someone who could explain a K-1, an S-Corp election, or a notice from the IRS in plain terms, help you save real money, and actually pick up the phone when you call.
Today, Li CPA Group serves over 500 small business clients across all five boroughs and Long Island. Whether you run a restaurant in Flushing, a salon in Brooklyn, a retail shop in Manhattan, or a service business in Nassau County โ we have the local expertise to help you pay less in taxes and keep your books clean. We pride ourselves on being responsive, transparent, and easy to reach.
"I started this firm because too many small business owners were overpaying in taxes and didn't even know it. Every client deserves a CPA who takes the time to explain things clearly and find every dollar you're owed."
