Apercen Partners Llc
Tax planning and compliance for high-net-worth families, fund partners and executives, from Lytton Avenue.
Acerca de
The name Apercen Partners LLC is a compound the firm explains itself: apercu, an act of insight, and census, a study of wealth and property. Founded in 2008, the tax consulting firm works from 314 Lytton Avenue, Suite 200, in downtown Palo Alto, two blocks from University Avenue and the Caltrain station. It offers high-net-worth individuals what it calls a full spectrum of income and multi-generational tax planning and compliance services. Natalie Mandella is recorded in the chamber's directory as a manager.
Practice areas the firm states
The client base is specific: partners at venture capital, private equity and hedge funds, entrepreneurs and corporate executives, and the families and family offices around them. For those clients the firm handles individual income tax planning and preparation, carried-interest and partnership questions, foreign and multi-state filings, estate and multi-generational planning, and ongoing compliance. Family office services bundle the bookkeeping, reporting and coordination that wealthy households otherwise piece together across several advisors.
The LinkedIn page lists between 201 and 500 employees, which makes it a sizeable firm for its niche, and the firm appears on the NASBA registry of continuing-education sponsors.
Becoming a client
Bring the prior two years of returns, K-1s and fund documents, equity compensation records, and a list of states and countries in which you have income or residence. Ask which partner and team will own your account, how fees are set (hourly, fixed or a retainer), how the firm coordinates with your estate attorney and investment advisor, and what the calendar looks like around quarterly estimates and extensions. If you are a fund partner, ask specifically about the firm's experience with your fund's structure.
Reach from downtown Palo Alto
Clients come from Palo Alto, Menlo Park, Mountain View, Los Altos, Stanford, East Palo Alto, Sunnyvale and Redwood City, the Sand Hill Road and Peninsula venture corridor, and from further afield by video call. The office is a short walk from the University Avenue Caltrain stop, with parking in the downtown garages.
