Over 20 years of entrepreneurial accounting experience.
Seth Gewirtz, CPA has a passion for creating profit for his clients and teaching the importance of building growth on a foundation of solid accounting principles. His ability to simplify financial systems removes roadblocks and enables business owners to focus on what they do best.
He earned a Bachelors’ degree in Business Economics with an emphasis in Accounting from the University of California, Santa Barbara. While working to become a licensed CPA, he was an internal accountant for a renowned public relations firm, learning successful entrepreneurship from the inside out. His father, Steven A. Gewirtz, CPA, is a career self-employed CPA for more than 40 years, and is a mentor, colleague, trusted business advisor, and friend.
Seth’s passion for business is driven by love for his family. He believes that hard work for clients means more time with his family. He lives for his beautiful wife, his two amazing daughters, two cats, and a Corgi named Molly. Camping, going to the beach, and a slow stroll to the park with his girls are his favorite pastimes.
He enjoys playing guitar for whoever is willing to listen and what he lacks in technical chops, he more than makes up for in entertainment value. Specializing in improvised lyrics and general silliness, this accountant from the suburbs can bring down the house, or at least the living room.
He’s an avid woodworker, mentored by his 94 year-old grandfather, making furniture and cutting boards in his free time. He stays fit by running and playing soccer, follows Liverpool in the EPL, loves a movie with great directing and character development, and is constantly reading. Always focused on improving skill and refining craftsmanship, he’s an avid student of life and learning.
What clients are saying…
As a company grossing close to $2M in sales annually, to be able to hand off the finances of our company to a firm like SNG, has eliminated the stress of the day-to-day business needs of money movement, invoicing, AR, AP, payroll preparation, etc., all while they helped us build a financial strategy – has been a dream. With our financial needs well kept, my staff and I can get better in aspects of the business where we can be more effective. I’ve owned Dealer Image Pro™ for just over ten years, and hiring SNG is easily in top 3 best decisions I’ve ever made for my company. We’ve “leveled-up” with our partnership with SNG, no doubt about it.

My partners and I were dealing with complex accounting issues on the amount of cash-flow, bills, and the number of payments that we each had going out individually every month. Seth developed a system for us that kept everything precise, organized, and efficient, helping to get the systems for my business outlined and in place. His personal interaction and constant contact helped me to improve efficiency, organization, and productivity. I would recommend him to friends, family, and colleagues because I’m confident he would help them like he’s helped me.

I started working with Seth because I needed help understanding certain business processes and priorities clearly. Taking action and producing results, with specific measurable practices and action steps, we were able to implement systems and take control of our business. If you are thinking about working with Seth, I’d say do it now. He helped us focus on fundamental business practices, identified specific actions, implemented tracking systems, and I got immediate results and now have more focus and control over my business. I learned better outgoing sales and follow-up techniques specific to my business and industry, and regimented the most important parts of our overall business. We learned to balance product/service, business development, sales, marketing, and accounting, all aimed at achieving the goals we set out when we first got into business. Seth is sincere, he really cares about you and your success, he’s a hard worker, he knows his stuff, and he knows how to get you to take action on the important things.

My wife and I have had a very positive, professional relationship with Seth for over five years. During this time, our service requirements have included tax planning and advice, tax preparation and reporting as well as IRS inquiry and audit responses. Each and every component of our, sometimes complex, tax work has been performed to the highest ethical, professional and interpersonal standards. Seth Gewirtz exudes competence, integrity and confidence. We couldn’t be more pleased with his results, which consistently exceed expectations; and, we highly recommend Seth Gewirtz Accountancy to any potential client.
