Chris Lamb is the founder and managing partner of Class Advisors, a San Diego-based CPA firm committed to delivering exceptional accounting and tax services tailored specifically to small businesses and their owners. With over two decades of experience in tax strategy, financial consulting, and business advisory, Chris brings a depth of expertise and a reputation for reliability and strategic insight that distinguishes him as a trusted partner in the business community.
A licensed Certified Public Accountant (CPA) in the state of California, Chris earned his Bachelor of Accounting degree from the University of San Diego in 2001, where he also showcased his competitive spirit and leadership as a four-year starting offensive lineman on the university's football team. His time on the field shaped not only his team-first mindset but also instilled the resilience and discipline that continue to fuel his professional journey.
Driven by a philosophy that successful businesses are built on strong financial foundations and informed decisions, Chris designed Class Advisors to be more than just a CPA firm—it's a platform for empowering entrepreneurs and helping them thrive amid the challenges of growth, regulation, and changing markets. His team delivers personalized, strategic solutions that simplify tax complexities, optimize operations, and support long-term financial health.
Beyond traditional tax services, Chris serves as an outsourced financial officer for Loan Goat Inc, offering hands-on guidance to improve existing financial processes and implement new systems that support operational efficiency and long-term success. His strategic approach helps Milad make informed decisions, streamline operations and build scalable financial infrastructures. Chris has been a valuable resource in raising capital for Loan Goat Private Clients and deploying capital for trust deed investments.
Outside the office, Chris remains deeply connected in athletics and financial education. He actively supports local college football programs, including those at the University of San Diego and San Diego State University, providing mentorship and financial literacy resources to student athletes. Chris is also a proud father to two children, Boston and Isabella. Whether coaching youth sports, golfing with friends, or attending major sporting events with his family, he brings the same enthusiasm and integrity to his personal life that he does to his professional endeavors.
