South Lake Businesses We Work With
Lake Avenue has been a commercial corridor for decades. Some businesses have been here for years. Others opened recently. What they share is a need for accurate financial records without the cost of a full-time bookkeeper or the hassle of doing it themselves.
We work with businesses doing anywhere from $100K to several million in revenue. Small enough to want personal attention. Big enough to need professional bookkeeping.

Yes. We're Clio certified and handle IOLTA trust accounting for attorneys. South Lake has a number of law offices, and we work with several practices in the Pasadena area.
My books are behind. Can you fix them?
That's how many clients come to us. We do catch-up work to get you current, then move into monthly service so it doesn't fall behind again.
Can you help prepare my business for sale?
Yes. We help owners clean up their financials and build documentation packages that support their asking price. With established businesses along Lake Avenue, this comes up more than you'd think.
