Bookkeeping for Thai Town Small Businesses
Bookkeeping and payroll for Thai Town restaurants and small businesses. Helping family-owned businesses keep their books clean and their doors open.
Bookkeeping for Thai Town
Thai Town is the only officially designated Thai Town in the country. The stretch of Hollywood Boulevard between Normandie and Western has one of the densest concentrations of Thai restaurants anywhere outside of Thailand. Behind those restaurants are owners who came here, built something, and kept it running for years. Those businesses deserve a bookkeeper who understands what it takes to stay open.
We provide Los Angeles bookkeeping services for Thai Town restaurants and small businesses. Monthly bookkeeping, payroll, catch-up work for books that fell behind during a busy stretch. The financial support you need without hiring someone full-time.
Monthly Bookkeeping
Monthly Bookkeeping
Transactions categorized, accounts reconciled, books closed every month. You get financial statements that show how the business is actually doing without spending your off-hours in QuickBooks.
Payroll
Payroll
Restaurant staffing is complicated. Tipped employees, varying hours, California wage requirements. We handle the paychecks, tax deposits, quarterly filings, and year-end W-2s so you can focus on the kitchen.
Inventory and Food Costs
Inventory and Food Costs
Inventory accounting that tracks your cost of goods sold accurately. For restaurants, knowing your actual food costs versus what you think they are makes the difference between profit and loss.
Catch-Up Bookkeeping
Catch-Up Bookkeeping
Running a restaurant means some months the books don’t get touched. We clean up whatever backlog exists, get you current, and keep it that way going forward.
Thai Town Businesses We Work With
Walk down Hollywood Boulevard through Thai Town and you’ll see what makes this neighborhood work. Family restaurants that have been serving the same dishes for twenty years. Grocery stores stocking ingredients you can’t find anywhere else. Massage parlors, bakeries, and small shops filling in the gaps. These are real businesses built by real people, not corporate chains.
We work with the owners who built these places. Many came here, started with nothing, and created something worth keeping. Our job is to help them know their numbers so they can keep going or pass it on when the time is right.

Common Questions
Do you work with Thai Town restaurants?
Yes. Restaurants are one of our primary focus areas. We handle the specific challenges food businesses face, including food cost tracking, tip reporting, and sales tax compliance.
What does monthly bookkeeping cost?
Starting at $200 per month based on your expense volume. Restaurants with higher transaction volumes will be quoted accordingly. We give you an exact price after learning about your business.
Can you help if my books are months behind?
That's a common starting point. We do catch-up work to get you current, then move into monthly service to keep it that way.
Do you meet in person?
Yes. We're based in San Marino, which is about 20 minutes from Thai Town depending on traffic. Most work happens remotely, but we're happy to meet when it makes sense.
I'm thinking about selling my business someday. Can you help?
Absolutely. We help business owners prepare their financials for sale. Clean books and organized records make a real difference when it's time to show a buyer what your business is worth.
