About Kaufmann Advisors

Managing Your Finances Shouldn't Be Complicated

At Kaufmann Advisors, we believe accounting, taxes, and financial strategy should work for you, not confuse or frustrate you.

We started this firm on a simple idea: managing your business finances doesn’t have to that hard. With the right plan, clear numbers, and proactive guidance, you can make confident decisions, reduce taxes, and grow faster.

That philosophy drives everything we do. From our Tax Advisory System, where clients regularly save 30–50% on taxes, to our CFO Success System, which helps business owners build stronger, more profitable companies.

Proactive, Transparent, and Focused on You

Most CPA firms react after the fact. We do things differently.

At Kaufmann Advisors, we partner with you year-round to plan ahead — not just at tax time. That means no surprises, no guesswork, and no missed opportunities.

We combine deep tax knowledge with business advisory expertise to give you one clear advantage: financial clarity and control.

Our mission is simple: help business owners keep more of what they earn, understand their numbers, and use them to reach their goals.

Meet Simon Hase, CPA

Simon Hase started Kaufmann Advisors over 15 years ago to help business owners move beyond basic tax preparation and into proactive strategy.

As both a Certified Public Accountant and Certified Tax Planner, Simon approaches accounting a little bit differently. His clients often discover that their previous accountants missed multiple deductions, credits, or opportunities to legally reduce taxes.

Simon graduated from California State University, Chico with dual majors in Financial Management and International Economics.

He has also started and managed multiple businesses and invested in and developed real estate and knows that having someone else take a second look at your business and investments can mean the difference between success and failure.

As an avid traveler and scuba diver, he likes learning languages and meeting new people. He is always interested in a good story and a great cup of coffee.
