About Lukas
Big-Firm Expertise. Boutique Attention.
At Coast Legacy CPA, clients work directly with founder and Certified Public Accountant Lukas Melikian.
Over the course of his career, Lukas has advised individuals, families, and business owners on a broad range of tax matters, from annual compliance and tax planning to more complex issues requiring strategic guidance and representation. These experiences shaped his belief that effective tax advice begins with understanding each client's unique circumstances, goals, and challenges.
As the owner of the firm, Lukas works closely with every client, providing continuity throughout the engagement and a level of personal attention that is often difficult to find in larger practices.
Known for his thorough approach, responsiveness, and commitment to professional excellence, Lukas takes pride in building long-term relationships and serving as a trusted resource for his clients' evolving needs.
Outside of work, Lukas enjoys spending time outdoors, whether it's going for a run, exploring new hiking trails, or playing a round of golf.
“The most valuable tax advice doesn't happen at year-end — it happens before important decisions are made.”
