Aragon, Santillan & Associates

Aragon, Santillan & Associates is a family business founded by Ophelia Aragon 27 years ago.  Her son, Fabian Santillan, joined the firm part-time over 20 years ago, and this year it will be 15 years that Fabian has worked full time with Aragon, Santillan & Associates. After attending USC and Cal State Long Beach, Ophelia entered the world of tax and accounting.  Ophelia retired from LAUSD in December 2011, after almost 42 years of service.  She spent most of that time as a Senior Auditor and Financial Manager.  She has been in the tax preparation business for over 35 years.    Her business started by preparing the tax returns of her close friends and family, and has since grown to several hundred tax clients. Ophelia and Fabian are both licensed tax practitioners.  Ophelia is licensed through the Federal Government as an IRS Enrolled Agent.  Fabian is licensed in the State of California with the California Tax Education Council (CTEC) and the IRS as a Registered Tax Preparer (RTRP).    Fabian has over 25 years in the business management, accounting and taxation.  Before becoming partners with Ophelia full time, Fabian was the Legal Administrator for a large law firm in Los Angeles.
