Ragnar Storm-Larsen, MBA, EA

Besides the usual number crunching, Ragnar Storm-Larsen enjoys his role as a coach and educator for his clients. Over the years, he has helped clients buy businesses, and now he is helping some sell or retire from their businesses. Along the way, he helped them maximize the tax benefits while limiting risks.

Ragnar has indicated that all his employees are a part of Storm-Larsen & Company Inc. team. He encourages all team members to take additional education courses to add value in answering client questions and providing bookkeeping, accounting and taxations services. To keep them happy, he allows his employees to work flexible hours so they can meet family demands.

He also served as an outside member of the Board of Directors of Manna Pro whose annual sales were approximately $450 million and was First Treasurer for the new non-profit organization Alliance for the Arts. After many of the negotiating business deals, Ragnar decided that the same skills could be used on a smaller scale and 40 years ago, he let his entrepreneurial sense take over.

In his spare time, Ragnar travels with his family. He is also involved in numerous projects with the local Westlake Village Sunrise Rotary Club; a past committee member of the California Lutheran University Alumni Board; a past committee member of the Conejo Valley Unified School District after-school child care program and guest speaker at many charity organizations on subjects such as changes in tax law, financial planning and goal setting.

Mr. Storm-Larsen believes in accomplishing at least four goals in life: to be a provider to his family, to be a father to his children, to be a husband to his wife, and last but not least, to have time for himself. His goals in life are to create success for individuals, make the world a better place for everyone through his efforts with Rotary International Organization.

Mr. Storm-Larsen has lived in the Conejo area since 1964. He earned his BA and MBA from California Lutheran University of Thousand Oaks. In June 1984, Ragnar became a Certified Financial Planner and later became an Enrolled Agent which enables him to represent his clients before the Internal Revenue Service.
