About Akansha Acharya, CPA

Akansha Acharya, CPA, founded Acharya CPA & Co. for owners who want more than a tax preparer: a financial partner who plans ahead and is reachable when it matters.

Akansha Acharya, CPA

Akansha works with owners and investors who want clean books, tighter cash flow and a tax plan that matches how they build wealth. Her work goes beyond compliance: structuring the business correctly, seeing what's really happening in the numbers, and making decisions with confidence.

She has more than five years of tax experience, including four years at Deloitte before founding the firm. She holds an MS in Business Analytics from the University of Denver and dual bachelor's degrees in accounting and economics, a combination she brings to every engagement: high standards, clear analysis and practical execution.

Her view is simple: the numbers are never only about the numbers. A cash crunch usually traces back to a pricing habit, a hiring decision or a fear of looking at the bank balance. Good advice deals with both the math and the person running the business.

Today she serves as fractional controller for a national media and entertainment brand and builds tax strategy for owners and real estate investors across the country. She has also published research on the financial advisory gap facing immigrant entrepreneurs and on the responsible use of AI in tax practice, and is completing the AICPA's Retirement Planning Certificate program, which covers retirement planning across the full life cycle.
