About Us

A firm built on trust.

Balance Beam was founded to give individuals and small businesses access to the kind of financial expertise that used to be reserved for large corporations.

David Rios

Founder & Principal Advisor

David founded Balance Beam with a simple belief: every business owner and individual deserves a financial advisor who actually knows their name, answers their calls, and gives them straight answers.

With deep expertise in bookkeeping, tax preparation, and IRS resolution, David and his team serve clients across Pasadena, the greater Los Angeles area, and nationwide.
