Meet Zhenya Lymar,
CPA, CEPA, CPWA®

I didn't take a traditional path to becoming a CPA. I immigrated to the United States and started over with nothing. My first job was selling cars on the road, traveling across the country. I built a window treatment design business, worked in soft fashions, and reinvented myself more than once. When Hurricane Katrina destroyed my home in Mississippi, I rebuilt again. In my mid 30's, while working full time, I went back to school for four years to earn my accounting degree. I passed all four CPA exams on my first attempt, then kept going to earn my CEPA and CPWA® credentials.

 

I share this because I want you to know who you're working with. I'm not someone who followed a predictable path. I'm someone who has built things, lost things, and rebuilt. I understand what it takes to create something from nothing and what it means to protect what you've worked for.

 

I created ClearSky CPA because I saw too many business owners getting generic tax prep with no strategic vision, or paying multiple advisors who never talked to each other. You deserve better than that.

​

My approach:

  • Clear communication.

  • Proactive guidance.

  • Strategic thinking that goes far beyond April 15th.

  • Honest advice, even when it's not what you want to hear.

What We Offer

Entity and Structure Optimization

We help business owners make smart, forward-looking decisions about their entity structure so it supports both today’s operations and long-term goals.

Owner Compensation Strategy

We help business owners design compensation strategies that balance personal income needs with business growth and tax efficiency. Instead of guessing or copying what others do, we create a structure that fits your business model, entity type, and future goals.

Cash Flow Scenario Planning

We help business owners understand how today’s decisions impact future cash flow before they commit. Through scenario planning and forecasting, we give you visibility into what different choices could mean for your business, so you can plan growth, manage risk, and avoid financial surprises.

Proactive Tax Planning
and Tax Preparation

Tax Reduction

We go beyond filing returns. We help business owners reduce tax liability, plan ahead with confidence, and use tax strategy as a tool to support growth, cash flow, and long-term goals.

Strategic Advisory for Growth and Decision-Making

Growing a business means making big decisions and guessing can get expensive. At ClearSky CPA, we help business owners evaluate opportunities, manage risk, and make confident choices using clear financial insight and long-term strategy. Instead of reacting to problems, we help you plan ahead and focus on the moves that create the greatest impact.

Exit Planning

We work with business owners to develop personalized, proactive exit strategies that maximize value, minimize taxes, and support a smooth transition. Whether your goal is to sell, transfer, or scale back, we’ll help you exit with clarity and control.

Business Meeting Discussion

IS THIS YOU?

You’ve worked hard to build something real. But somewhere between growing revenue and managing everything else, the financial strategy hasn’t kept up. If any of this sounds familiar, you’re in the right place.

You’re Making Good Money But Keeping Too Little

Your revenue is strong, $500K or more, but your tax bill feels disproportionate.

You Want a Strategist, Not Just a Tax Preparer

ou want someone who understands your business, thinks ahead, and treats your advisory fee as an investment.

You’re Making Big Decisions Without a Clear Financial Picture

Every decision has tax and value implications. You want clarity before you commit, not surprises after.

You’re Thinking About an Exit, Even If It’s Years Away

You want to know what your business is worth today and what it would take to exit on your terms.

Financial Independence

Evaluate your financial readiness to exit and fund the next chapter of your life on your own terms.

Our philosophy is simple:

  • Build value while you operate

  • Improve the drivers buyers and lenders care about

  • Reduce risk, surprises, and last-minute tax exposure

  • Create flexibility — not pressure — around timing

Most exits fail to deliver expected outcomes because planning starts too late.

How We Help You Prepare

Our exit planning process focuses on clarity and execution, not complexity:

  • Assess current business value and key risk areas

  • Identify value drivers that can be improved now

  • Align tax strategy with long-term transition goals

  • Reduce owner dependency and strengthen systems

  • Coordinate planning across tax, business, and wealth considerations

​

The result is a business that’s stronger, more valuable, and better positioned whether you exit or not.
