Two longtime Coachella Valley CPA firms have merged, creating a new powerhouse that establishes the region’s largest and most experienced CPA firm. The merger brings together Lund & Guttry and Osborne Rincon to provide full-service accounting and financial services from income tax preparation and tax planning to financial reporting, fraud analysis, bookkeeping services, estate planning and business valuations.
Lund & Guttry was founded in 1953, holding the distinction of being the desert’s first CPA firm. After a half century in business, the firm joins forces with Osborne Rincon – which has been the leading CPA firm in the region after rebranding from Peterson, Slater & Osborne to Osborne Rincon in 2011.
Osborne Rincon’s key leadership team for the past decade – Lee Osborne, Pedro Rincon and Bruce Legawiec – are pleased to welcome Lund & Guttry partners, Keith Lyrla, Mary K. Brock, Marie Schneider and their team.
“On behalf of my directors and staff, we are very excited to bring Lund & Guttry onboard to offer additional capabilities and a more expansive team to collectively serve the clients of both firms as well as new clients,” said Lee Osborne, president of Osborne Rincon.
Along with its 40+ years of experience, Lund & Guttry brings substantial healthcare financial capabilities and accounting skills in particular, which is synergistic with Osborne Rincon’s healthcare expertise along with the firm’s other industry specialties: agriculture, construction, country clubs, professional services and restaurants
“We are pleased to be joining Osborne Rincon, and believe that a larger organization will allow us to provide a wider array of more in-depth services,” said Lund & Guttry partner, Keith Lyrla. “We conducted an extensive search within our region for an opportunity like this, and Osborne Rincon exceeded our hopes for a firm we can continue with which also shares the same values as we do.”
Osborne Rincon purchased a building in La Quinta a little over a decade ago that would allow the firm to grow over time. “It was always our intention to expand, and we wanted to allow for that,” added Osborne. “We moved into part of the building initially, and leased out the space we weren’t occupying for the next 5 years.”
The merger with Lund & Guttry increases Osborne Rincon’s staff to 24. The firm is located at 79245 Corporate Centre Drive in La Quinta. For more information, visit www.OsborneRincon.com or call (760) 777-9805.
