Wilshire-Montana Businesses We Work With
Montana Avenue is not a chain store strip. The businesses here tend to be independently owned, many of them for years or decades. That creates both opportunity and challenge. These owners know their craft, but accounting often takes a back seat to running the business day to day. Tax season arrives and records are scattered across shoeboxes and email threads.
We work with professional services, retail, restaurants, and medical practices doing anywhere from $100K to several million in revenue. If your business has outgrown doing the books yourself but doesn’t need a full-time bookkeeper, we fill that gap.
Law Firms
Law Firms
Solo attorneys and small practices handling immigration, family law, estate planning, or personal injury. Trust accounting that meets State Bar requirements and books that stay clean for your CPA.
Medical and Dental Practices
Medical and Dental Practices
Dentists, chiropractors, therapists, and specialty clinics. Insurance receivables, patient balances, and the revenue timing that makes healthcare accounting different from other service businesses.
Boutique Retail
Boutique Retail
The independent shops along Montana Avenue. Inventory tracking, sales tax compliance, and books that show which products actually drive profit so you can make better buying decisions.
Restaurants and Cafes
Restaurants and Cafes
The coffee shops, cafes, and restaurants that give the neighborhood its character. Daily reconciliation, tip reporting, payroll for hourly staff, and the cash flow tracking that food businesses need.
