Who we are
At Hilltop CPA, our foundation is built on the deep technical expertise and executive-level governance that you typically only find at the world's largest professional services organizations.
Our leadership team is comprised of CPAs who spent eight or more years managing complex tax compliance and advisory engagements for Fortune 500 companies and global enterprises at a Big 4 firm. That experience is the Hilltop CPA standard.
Angela Zhou, CPA
Founding Partner, Hilltop CPA
I founded Hilltop CPA with a clear mission: to bring Big 4–level expertise to growing businesses in a way that is proactive, streamlined, and personalized. After eight years in management roles at Ernst & Young (EY), a Big 4 firm, where I led complex tax projects for Fortune 500 companies, I built Hilltop CPA to deliver that same level of rigor directly to business owners.
