Bookkeeping for Los Angeles Small Businesses
Bookkeeping and payroll for Los Angeles businesses. A San Gabriel Valley firm serving small businesses across LA County.
Bookkeeping for Los Angeles Businesses
Los Angeles has more small businesses than most states have total businesses. Restaurants in Koreatown, law offices downtown, medical practices in the Valley, production companies on the Westside, contractors working sites from Pasadena to Torrance. Every neighborhood has its own economy, and most of it runs on businesses small enough that the owner still handles too much themselves.
We’re a small business accountant in the San Gabriel Valley, based in San Marino. Close enough to know LA, small enough to actually care about your books. We handle monthly bookkeeping, payroll, and catch-up work for businesses across the county that need professional accounting without the overhead of a large firm or a full-time hire.
Monthly Bookkeeping
Monthly Bookkeeping
Transactions categorized, accounts reconciled, books closed every month. Financial statements that show you where the business stands instead of making you guess.
Payroll Services
Payroll Services
Full payroll processing including California payroll taxes, quarterly filings, and year-end forms. Your team gets paid correctly and on time without you managing the deadlines.
Catch-Up Bookkeeping
Catch-Up Bookkeeping
Books that fell behind while you were running the business. We sort through the backlog, fix errors, and get you current so you can actually use your financials again.
Business Sale Prep

Clean financials matter when you’re ready to sell. We organize records and build documentation that answers buyer questions and supports your asking price.
Los Angeles Businesses We Work With
Most business owners we work with started doing their own books or had someone handle it who wasn’t quite qualified. It worked for a while. Then things got busy, the records got messy, and tax season became stressful. By the time they call us, they’re usually behind and frustrated.
We work with businesses doing $100K to several million in revenue. Law firms, medical practices, real estate investors, restaurants, contractors, and professional services throughout LA County. Businesses that have outgrown the DIY approach but don’t need a controller on staff.
Law Firms
Law Firms
Solo practitioners and small firms handling immigration, personal injury, family law, and estate planning. We offer IOLTA trust accounting with Clio integration and State Bar compliance support.
Medical Practices
Medical Practices
Dental offices, chiropractic clinics, therapy practices, and specialty care. We handle the timing gap between providing services and collecting insurance payments, plus the revenue tracking that makes healthcare accounting different.
Entertainment and Production
Entertainment and Production
LA runs on content. Production companies, commercial shoots, music studios, and the people who make things happen behind the scenes. Project-based revenue and contractor payments handled properly.
Restaurants and Food Service
Restaurants and Food Service
The food scene in LA is one of the best in the country, and the margins are some of the tightest. We track food cost, labor, and daily sales so you know whether the month actually worked or just felt busy.
Common Questions
How do you serve a city as large as Los Angeles?
Everything happens remotely. Bank feeds, secure document sharing, video calls when needed. We work with businesses from the Valley to Long Beach to the Westside. Location within LA doesn't change how we work together.
What types of LA businesses do you work with?
Law firms, medical practices, real estate investors, production companies, restaurants, contractors, and professional services. Businesses doing anywhere from $100K to several million in revenue that need professional bookkeeping without a full-time hire.
My books are months behind. Can you fix that?
Yes. Most clients come to us with some backlog to clean up. We handle catch-up work first, then move to monthly service so it doesn't happen again.
Do you work with businesses looking to sell?
Yes. We help owners prepare their financials for sale, organize records, and create documentation that answers buyer questions. With more business owners retiring, this has become a larger part of what we do.
What does monthly bookkeeping cost?
Starting at $200 per month based on your expense volume. We provide exact pricing after learning about your business.
