Vardan Pogosian is a Certified Public Accountant and a former IRS Agent who brings an insider’s perspective to clients in advanced tax planning and IRS representation. As a tax auditor for the IRS for nearly ten years, he served with both the Small Business/Self-Employed Division and the Large and International Business (LB&I) Division, and through these experiences, has worked on some of the most difficult and complicated IRS tax cases.

As a result of each challenge he’s encountered, he has also discovered opportunities and solutions, which makes him that much more practiced at what he does. Most CPAs have not worked for the IRS, and many have not had the opportunities Vardan has to be a part of a highly competent team.

By working in that high stake’s environment alongside highly accomplished tax attorneys, CPAs and business consultants, Vardan acquired the knowledge that makes him uniquely qualified in advising clients on a wide range of business and tax issues. 

Vardan earned his Bachelor’s Degree in Accounting from the University of Southern California (USC) and is a proud member of UCS’s Alumni Association, as well as an active member of CalCPA and ProVisors. Vardan formerly served as an Adjunct Instructor at Glendale Community College teaching Financial Accounting. Additionally, while serving as an IRS agent, he mentored and taught numerous classes and workshops for newly – hired agents.

With his expertise and IRS background, Vardan enjoys giving presentations to professional organizations. Most recently, he spoke about “The IRS Audit Selection Process” and “Three Little Known Tax Planning Strategies.”

In his spare time, Vardan enjoys traveling, reading, mentoring youth at his local church, and spending time with his wife and two children.
