About Crown & Mekhail
Our shared background as property-tax auditor-appraisers with San Bernardino County gives us a specialized view of business records, fixed assets, internal processes, and the story behind the numbers. We are building the kind of firm we would want to hire: technically careful, accessible, honest about scope, and focused on the real decisions in front of you.
Good accounting should do more than satisfy a deadline.
It should reduce uncertainty.
The future founders
Property tax audit, accounting & advisory
As a county property-tax auditor-appraiser, Donovan analyzes general ledgers, fixed-asset records, financial statements, and supporting documentation to reconcile asset activity and explain complex findings in plain language. He pairs that specialized experience with graduate accounting study and a long-term focus on CPA licensure and advisory work.
Property tax audit, operations & tax
Peter brings county property-tax audit experience together with years of frontline operations leadership as a former general manager. His background includes analyzing business-property records, managing payroll processes, and completing tax-preparation training. His long-term focus is Enrolled Agent licensure and owner-focused tax support.
Our standard
Responsibilities, timing, fees, assumptions, and limitations should be clear before the work begins.
A report or return is more useful when you understand what changed, what matters, and what happens next.
Questions and emerging issues should be raised early, while there is still time to respond.
