I'm writing a business plan and need a pro to do some number crunching, can anyone recommend a decent accountant that won't charge me too much?

cheers.

You might consider first either getting some business plan software or making your own spreadsheet and then asking an accountant to look it over and write up the bits you can't do yourself, such as the p&l and balance sheet perhaps. I would leave an accountant out of the early stages if possible because that could be expensive and, more to the point, his input may stifle your creative thought. Remember that he would have no stake in making your business successful, only in presenting figures in statutory form.

I can't recommend an accountant in LOS but the task might suit an expat. retiree.
