Advisory expertise. Operator experience.
Founded in 2009 by Chidi Uka, EA, MBA, GPMI Consulting has grown from a boutique tax firm into a full-service advisory practice. We serve business owners, dental practices, real estate operators, and growing enterprises — bringing the financial rigor of institutional advisory to the clients who need it most.
Advisory services built around your goals.
From tax strategy and IRS resolution to business valuation and entity design — GPMI provides the full spectrum of advisory services that growing businesses need.
Tax planning isn't just about filing — it's about designing your financial position to minimize liability year-round. GPMI provides strategic tax advisory for individuals, business owners, and multi-entity enterprises operating in California and across the US.
