Isaiah “Ike” Warren, CPA
Tax Manager
Ike has been an odd force of nature in the accounting and tax industry for over 12 years. Originally from New Hampshire, he got his start in the field of tax working with regional firms covering New England and serving clients of all industries and sizes. In 2015, he relocated to Los Angeles, and began working in the corporate tax department for Henry Company LLC.
Over his seven years with Henry Company, he honed his skills and systems knowledge in tax while achieving the position of Director of Tax. Through rebuilding Henry Company’s tax department and processes, Ike was able to help the company navigate the due diligence process of its eventual sale to Carlisle Companies Incorporated.
Concurrently with his experience at Henry Company, Ike founded what would become IkeTheCPA, Incorporated, a boutique accounting and tax firm serving the needs of closely held businesses, their owners, and freelancers. Through a tenacious and tireless approach, he was able to grow his business substantially over six years and bring a much needed personable, human element to the tax services industry.
After a brief stint in business management, Ike is excited to join CPA Collective and hang up the mantle of being a solo entrepreneur. He is focused on using his knowledge and expertise to simply make life easier for our clients; in his own words his approach is, “…akin to business therapy.”
