Andrew Phillips
Company: The Phillips Group, Inc.
For over a decade, Andrew Phillips worked as the Business Manager for his father’s well-established dental-CPA firm, Phillips Accountancy Corporation. In September 2021, he and his wife Laura co-founded their own firm, The Phillips Group, and acquired Phillips Accountancy. The Phillips Group is perhaps one of the state’s last remaining truly boutique healthcare-focused accounting firms. They have decades of experience serving dentists and physicians nationwide, but what sets them apart is their technology-focused, proactive, endlessly communicative mindset. As Chief Growth Officer, Andrew’s role is to ensure that the firm is always moving forward, whether it’s by developing new strategic partnerships, enhancing the client or employee experiences, or implementing new technologies or processes.
Before entering the accounting industry, Andrew served as a medic in the Army. After leaving the Army, he worked for Emergency Ambulance Service as an ambulance attendant/emergency medical technician. Finding the 24-hour shift schedules difficult, Andrew switched fields to find a profession that was better suited to starting a family, but never lost his love for working “in the field” with new people each day. As the former Director of Interns & Volunteers with the Newport Beach Film Festival, he also brings a wealth of management and leadership skills to any organization he joins.
Andrew is a past treasurer of his homeowners’ association and currently supports the following organizations:
- P.A.T.H. (People Assisting The Homeless)
- Fostering Unity
- Second Harvest Food Bank
- The Little Red Dog
- American Red Cross
When he’s not working or volunteering, he can often be found riding his motorcycle, on a golf course, at a shooting range (he used to compete with the USPSA, although he rarely finds the time now), or enjoying some fine wine. Andrew resides in Yorba Linda with his wife and 2 dogs.
