About the Founder

Karen Yu

Hi, I'm Karen Yu,

After years in accounting at major LA companies like Time Warner and DirectTV. I noticed many business owners were great at making money but struggled with saving on taxes.

This hit home when I saw taxes becoming my biggest personal expense. That curiosity led me to discover strategies that could significantly reduce tax burdens.

I founded Astute Advisors in 2018 to help business owners keep more of their hard-earned money. Since then, we've saved our 200+ clients over $10M through proactive tax planning.

We're growing rapidly! If you're a business owner paying too much in taxes, book a call. And if you're an accountant looking to help businesses save while advancing your career, let's connect!

"Her team is amazing

"I have been working with her for the last five years. Her team emails back as quick as possible. I’ve done a lot of different tax strategies. Help me buy property and grow my business help with my cash flow and her team is amazing"

"My biggest regret is not believing we could have found someone like Karen sooner"

"We became aware of Karen Yu and her team through their very effective email campaign that provided valuable tax related tips. We were ending a 13 year relationship with our previous CPA and knew we needed someone who was professional, well informed, and easy to work with. Karen ticked all of those boxes and more. We had never understood the value of a CPA who focused on tax planning before. aren carefully walked us through the importance of planning forward rather than just documenting what was done in the past. Through her expertise and guidance, we have been able to implement strategies that have saved us much more in taxes than we imagined was possible. She always answers our questions on a timely basis and is patient with us when we lack understanding. My biggest regret is not believing we could have found someone like Karen sooner."

"She’s extremely professional, knowledgeable and a true warrior for her clients"

"I have had the distinct pleasure of working with Karen Yu the past 5 plus years. She’s extremely professional, knowledgeable and a true warrior for her clients in that she doesn’t just file taxes, she uses every tax incentive available and utilizes all of her resources to get the best tax savings possible. I highly recommend Astute Advisors and Karen Yu!"
