Peter Mockary

Peter was first introduced to LA’s BEST in 2014 as its financial statement auditor, and has audited many private foundations, charitable organizations, and businesses across Los Angeles. In July 2021, he transitioned from auditing LA’s BEST from the outside to offering his services in support of LA’s BEST as Interim Controller. As Interim Controller, and now the permanent Controller, Peter manages the finances of the organization, maintains the accounting records, tracks budgets and compliance for restricted grants, oversees the financial systems and internal controls, and helps ensure the organization’s future monetary wellbeing. Peter is a CPA, and in addition to working as a financial statement auditor, he has worked as a contracted CFO managing businesses and nonprofits for several years. He graduated Summa Cum Laude with a B.S. in Business Administration specializing in Finance and Management from the Master’s University. When not combing through spreadsheets, you can find Peter enjoying a variety of outdoor activities. He enjoys skiing down mountains in winter, and hiking back up them after the snow melts. You can also find him cycling along the beach, playing volleyball, or finding a new favorite mom-and-pop shop to eat!
