Who We Are

Our Partners • Our Managers • Our Accounting Team • Our Support Team

Diane Decauwer
Whether it's the GYLD team, clients, prospects, vendors or referral sources, Diane's top priority, as part of our Management Team, is customer service. “It's important for us to know what we're doing right or how we can continue to dazzle clients… most businesses don't hear what they're doing wrong until it's too late.” She adds, “One unique characteristic GYL Decauwer LLP has over a lot of other businesses is that we answer all calls; we don't screen them. Callers are given directly to the person they ask for or to someone in the firm that can handle the call to their satisfaction. Clients deserve this type of customer service.” Married to Dennis Decauwer for over thirty years, she's been a part of the business since its inception.


Denise O'Keefe
As a graduate of California State University, San Bernardino, and a CPA candidate, Denise is an accountant in her own right. She got her start answering phones at GYLDecauwer, working her way through school until she became an accountant. Today, she plays a critical role as part of our Managing Team, overseeing workflow, training employees and coordinating myriad client tasks. She credits the firm's strong team orientation with the client satisfaction they're able to deliver. “Our entire team is extremely hard-working, diligent and, above all, we genuinely care about our clients.” Denise echoes the company's credo and explains what drives her team to succeed: “Without our clients, we're not in business. As a result, we treat them accordingly - with respect and the highest level of service possible.”

Derek Williams, CPA
With over 11 years in the business, Derek is a CPA who enjoys providing a real service to clients. “Accountants should be a great resource for a client, not just a necessary evil at tax time,” he notes. A graduate of Cal State Fullerton, Derek emphasizes that value is what he and the GYLD team bring to clients. Time and again he sees clients benefit when accounting is used to look at the Big Picture “so a company knows where it stands and is presented with options on how best to proceed - versus just crunching numbers in hindsight,” he says. “Using accounting results, we can help improve a company's financial future.” He notes, “Our size allows for more personal attention to a client. With some firms, it's quantity of clients that counts. Here, it's the amount of service we can provide. It makes a big difference.”
