What We Do

Financial leadership, scoped to where you are.

Finance Leadership

Forecasting, board and investor reporting, capital raise support, and unit economics — senior financial strategy without a full-time hire.

Outsourced Controller

Monthly close, GAAP-compliant financial statements, and the systems and internal controls that keep your books audit-ready.

Bookkeeping

Day-to-day transaction management and reconciliations, delivered with the discipline of assurance-grade review.

Cross-Border Accounting

Bridging Mexican NIF, US GAAP, and IFRS for companies operating on both sides of the border.

Financial Statement Preparation

Clean, organized financial statements prepared for internal use, lenders, or stakeholders — without the cost of a full assurance engagement.

Audit & Diligence Readiness

Getting your books and records in shape before a lender review, an acquisition, or your first formal audit.

GAAP, NIF & IFRS Bridge

Project-based conversion and reconciliation between US GAAP, Mexican NIF, and IFRS — built for cross-border reporting, financing, and investor requirements.

Valuation & Acquisition Due Diligence

Business valuations and financial due diligence for small and mid-sized companies navigating an acquisition, merger, or sale.

Internal Controls Design

Building the internal controls and financial processes growth-stage companies need to scale — before an audit or investor requires them.

Industries We Serve

Built for the businesses that build Southern California.

Consumer Services

Food & B2C

Restaurants, cafés, and direct-to-consumer brands — we help manage tight margins, inventory, and seasonal cash flow.

Retail & Export

Cross-Border Trade

Importers, exporters, and retail operations moving goods across borders — we track landed costs, currency exposure, and cross-border compliance.

Manufacturing

Production & Supply Chain

Producers managing raw materials, labor, and overhead — we build costing systems and reporting that show true product-level margins.

Medical Services

Private Practices & Clinics

Private practices and clinics — we handle insurance receivables, equipment financing, and the compliance-heavy side of healthcare accounting.

Content creators, agencies, and digital-first businesses — we handle subscription revenue, ad income, and multi-platform reporting.

About the Firm

Javier Durand, CPA

Founder & Principal

Durand Advisory Accountancy Corporation was built on a simple premise: growth-stage businesses deserve the same caliber of financial rigor as large enterprises, delivered with the responsiveness of a dedicated advisor.

Javier is a California-licensed CPA with a background in public accounting audit and corporate finance, including experience within wealth and asset management and in corporate finance roles across Latin America. He is a CFA candidate and a graduate in accounting from the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM), bringing a binational perspective to every engagement.

DAAC works closely with Southern California's Latino entrepreneurial community and with founders who need a financial partner fluent in both the language and the accounting standards on either side of the border.
