About Basil V. Chochla,
Founder of The Bee Dance CPAs
“I am the descendant of mountain survivors and noble borderlanders—restoring meaning, justice, and dignity where others forget to look.”
Basil V. Chochla, CPA, founded The Bee Dance CPAs with a vision rooted in the Carpathian highlands and shaped by centuries of resilience. His ancestors—bearing names like Chochla and Sasik—lived at the edge of empires, in villages where Polish nobility, Vlach shepherds, and Lemko highlanders forged identities beyond simple categories. The name Chochla, meaning ladle, speaks to the quiet power of sustenance and strategy—carving meaning from the ordinary, and strength from simplicity.
With a background in international tax strategy, cross-border compliance, and fractional CFO leadership, Basil brings a rare depth of insight to immigrant entrepreneurs, global founders, and mission-driven businesses. His work is animated by a commitment to restoration—of financial clarity, legal dignity, and cultural roots long buried by history or bureaucracy.
At The Bee Dance CPAs, Basil leads a firm that doesn't just file returns or balance books. He builds strategic ecosystems—infused with the precision of accounting, the fluidity of global movement, and the reverence of ancestral memory.
Whether you’re protecting global assets, resolving tax disputes, or structuring a business that honors both your mission and your roots, Basil invites you to join a different kind of dance—one that moves with wisdom, balance, and sacred intention.

Background
Beyond his professional pursuits, Basil's hobbies encompass marathons, cycling, foreign languages, and observing his 2-year-old son's development. Rooted in Psalm 23, his concept of human development embraces psychology, interpersonal relationships, law, spirituality, and economic well-being.
Basil's family history weaves into his professional ethos. His grandfather's meticulous work as a clockmaker embodies the value of deliberate practice and dedication. The influence of his paternal grandfather, a veterinarian, instilled in him a love for ecosystems and understanding chain effects. His maternal great uncle's beekeeping background highlighted the significance of seemingly small creatures, aligning with Basil's business philosophy.
The Bee Dance CPAs
Embracing the symbolism of The Bee Dance, Basil's firm, tagged as The Best Value Deal (TBvD), embodies the principles of defending and protecting, mirroring the care given to pollinators. The Bee Dance encapsulates the entire value cycle, from tax resolution to financial literacy, government incentives, and strategic planning, ensuring clients build long-term value for their companies and families.
The Bee Dance extends beyond negotiation in Spanish ("negocio") to signify being in a constant state of beta, synthesizing new strategies and solutions. Similar to pollinators, Basil believes in the synthesis of diverse perspectives to yield the best outcomes for clients, challenging assumptions, and embracing a dance of negotiation with customers, vendors, employees, and government entities to create win-win scenarios.
