Larson Gross welcomes the Liptz & Associates team to the firm, expanding the West Coast accounting and advisory practice into the captive insurance sector. The California-based Liptz & Associates team joined Larson Gross on 23 January 2026. The firm brings more than 20 years of experience in captive insurance, providing audit and tax compliance, IRS representation, and consulting services to the industry. Liptz & Associates clients will continue working with the same professionals, now with access to Larson Gross's broader advisory bench, expanded technology, and additional service offerings. The Liptz team will transition to the Larson Gross brand over the coming months. Kelli Visser, CEO of Larson Gross, says: "Their client-first approach and deep expertise in a highly specialised industry make them a natural fit. We're confident that our aligned cultures and shared dedication to service will deliver exceptional value to our clients for years to come." David Liptz, founder and owner of Liptz & Associates, says: "We weren't looking to change who we are—we were looking to strengthen how we serve. Larson Gross brings the depth, culture, and strategic mindset we were seeking." Larson Gross is a Bellingham, Washington-headquartered accounting and consulting firm with a 77-year history.
