About Lee CPA

Meet Chris Lee, CPA

Thank you for visiting Lee CPA Services PLLC.

Lee CPA Services PLLC, a Texas-licensed CPA firm. I founded the firm because I believe individuals and small business owners deserve more than someone who prepares tax returns once a year.

My goal is to build lasting relationships by providing proactive tax planning, accounting, and advisory services that help clients make informed financial decisions throughout the year. Whether you’re launching a business, growing an established company, investing in real estate, or planning for the future, I strive to become a trusted advisor who understands your goals and helps you achieve them.

Why I Started Lee CPA

Lee CPA Services PLLC was founded in 2020 to solve many of the challenges that arise beyond annual tax preparation.

Throughout my career, I saw individuals and small business owners who needed more than tax compliance. They needed someone who could answer questions throughout the year, explain complex financial matters in plain language, and provide practical guidance as their businesses and financial lives evolved.

Many small businesses are underserved—either because they are too small for large CPA firms or because they rely on preparers who focus only on filing tax returns. My mission is to bridge that gap by providing personalized service, proactive planning, and long-term relationships built on trust.

I believe the American Dream is achieved through sacrifice, hard work, thoughtful planning, and informed decision-making. My role is to help clients navigate the financial side of that journey with confidence.

Experience

With more than 18 years of accounting experience and licensed as a Texas Certified Public Accountant (CPA) since 2019, I’ve worked with organizations ranging from small privately held businesses to large publicly traded companies.

My experience spans the full spectrum of accounting—from day-to-day operations and financial reporting to SEC reporting for publicly traded companies.

Since 2020, I have provided remote tax advisory services through a national tax firm based in NY City, working with small business owners in all 50 states, including both U.S. and foreign-owned businesses. In addition, I collaborate with other CPAs and tax companies. and professionals to provide practical solutions for a wide range of tax and accounting matters.

This combination of corporate accounting, tax advisory, and collaboration with experienced professionals allows me to bring a well-rounded perspective to every client engagement.
