The number, explained
Eighty Years, Counted.
Our site says “over 80 years of experience.” The honest word — the one we use when clients ask — is combined. No single career holds eighty years. A team’s careers, stacked together, do.
Don’t take the headline’s word for it. Stack the decades yourself, and watch what the word “combined” actually adds up to.
A different number, kept separate: George Hamilton’s own time in practice runs past fifty years on its own. Two numbers, two frames — we don’t blend them, and neither should anyone quoting us.
About George’s fifty years → 80+ years of combined experience
Eight decades of tax seasons, stacked on one team.
That’s what “combined” means — careers stacked on one team, every one of them pointed at your file.
Each leaf is a decade of practice. The stack only reaches the headline because the decades belong to a team — that is the claim, stated exactly.

About George
One name on the door, for over fifty years.
George C. Hamilton has been in practice for over fifty years — long enough that the “new” problems clients bring him are usually ones he has solved before, in some earlier decade, under some earlier tax code. The firm that carries his name, George C. Hamilton, CPA, Inc., APC, works out of one office on East Olive Avenue in Burbank.
He is not the whole practice — a team works behind him, and their combined experience runs past eighty years — but he is its standard: meticulous care, plain English, and pricing he calls, simply, honest.
“We don’t just crunch numbers — we support dreams, protect legacies.”
That is the firm’s whole method in one sentence. The numbers matter — they are the job — but they are kept for people: the bike painter, the foundation, the family business on its second generation.
How to start
It starts with a free consultation.
No intake maze, no retainer conversation first. Three steps:
Book a time
Schedule your free consultation on George’s calendar. Consultations are available daily from 7am to 10pm — pick the hour that fits your life, not ours.
Open the calendar →Meet George
Bring the notice, the return, or the shoebox. You get a plain-English read on where you stand and what he would do next — before you commit to anything.
Or call 818.473.5390 →Work through a secure portal
Clients exchange documents through an encrypted client portal, with digital signatures — your records never travel as loose email attachments.
How it works, in the FAQ → Questions
Straight answers before you spend a dollar.
What will this cost me?
Our line is the one on our door: honest pricing. We do not publish a rate card, because the right work depends on your situation — a single return and a business with payroll are not the same engagement. The consultation is free, and it comes first: George reviews where you stand and the scope is discussed plainly, for the work you actually need, before you commit to anything.
What happens at the free consultation?
You meet with George C. Hamilton, CPA himself — about thirty minutes, booked on his calendar. Bring whatever you have: a return, an IRS or state notice, a year of bank statements, a shoebox. He tells you plainly where you stand and what he would do next. Consultations are available daily from 7am to 10pm, so the conversation happens when your schedule allows it.
I got an IRS notice, or I owe back taxes. Can you help?
Yes — tax resolution is a core service here: audit representation, back tax assistance, installment agreements and offers in compromise, penalty abatement, and lien and levy release. One thing we will not do is promise you a specific outcome — no honest firm can, and anyone who guarantees a settlement is selling you something. What we can promise is that your case is prepared, filed, and represented by a CPA with decades of resolution work behind him.
Do you work with businesses like mine?
Very likely. Our published industry list runs ten deep: real estate and property management, professional services, medical and wellness, trades and construction, nonprofits and foundations, automotive and equipment, entertainment and hospitality, financial and legal services, specialized trades, and technology and IT. It includes rental portfolios and HOAs — and, yes, boat rentals and knife sharpening. Fifty years of practice makes for a long list.
When are you open?
Two answers, because they are two different things. Our Burbank office hours are Monday through Friday, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Consultations are available daily from 7am to 10pm — evenings and weekends included — because tax problems do not keep office hours, and neither do our clients.
Who will actually do my work?
George C. Hamilton, CPA. His name is on the firm, and he has been in practice for over fifty years; behind him is a team whose combined experience runs past eighty years. This is not a call center and you are not a ticket in a queue — in George’s own words, you will never feel like just another file on a desk.
Start with a free consultation.
Fifty years of practice. Eighty-plus years of combined experience behind the team. One conversation to find out where you stand.
