What Brought You Here?

Something's not working. The books are a mess, a decision is looming, or you need help with a transition you've never done before.

Months Behind on the Books

You've been meaning to catch up for a while now. The pile keeps growing and tax season is coming. We dig in, sort through everything, and get you current. Most cleanups go faster than clients expect.

Outgrew Your DIY Setup

QuickBooks made sense when you started. Now there are accounts you don't recognize and reports that don't add up. We clean it up, restructure it properly, or migrate you to something that fits how you work now.

Revenue Without Clarity

Money is coming in but you're not sure where it's going. You can't tell if you're actually profitable or which parts of the business are pulling their weight. Monthly closes give you that picture every single month.

Getting Ready to Sell

Whether you're retiring or just ready for the next chapter, buyers will scrutinize your financials. We organize your records, clean up the books, and build a financial package that supports your asking price.

Buying a Business

Before you sign anything, you need to know what you're actually getting. We analyze seller financials, look for red flags, verify the reported numbers, and help you decide if the deal makes sense.

Law Firm Trust Accounting

IOLTA compliance isn't optional. We handle trust account management and reconciliation for California attorneys, integrating Clio with QuickBooks and keeping you ready for State Bar audits.

Why Work With Us

A small firm built on real experience. We bring hands-on financial expertise to LA's small business owners.

10+ Years in Finance

Common Questions

Quick answers to things people usually ask before getting started.

How much does it cost?

Monthly bookkeeping starts at $200. Your rate depends on your monthly expense volume. We'll give you a flat quote after reviewing your situation.

My books are behind. Can you help?

Yes. Catch-up work is priced as a one-time project based on how far back we need to go and how complex the cleanup is. Once your books are current, we can move into regular monthly bookkeeping.

Is there a contract?

No. We work month-to-month. You can cancel anytime without penalty.

How do I send you documents?

We use a secure portal for document sharing. It takes a few minutes to set up and we'll walk you through it when you start.

Do we need to meet in person?

Not required. Most clients work with us remotely. If you're local to the San Gabriel Valley and prefer to meet in person, we can arrange that.

What accounting software do you support?

We work with QuickBooks Online, QuickBooks Desktop, and Xero. For payroll, we support ADP, Gusto, Rippling, Paychex, and others. We also use Bill.com for accounts payable, Clio and Filevine for law firms, and integrate with Shopify and Amazon for e-commerce clients.

What do I need to do each month?

Connect your bank feeds and upload any receipts through our portal. We handle the categorization, reconciliation, and reporting from there.

Do you handle payroll?

Yes. We offer full-service payroll including wage calculations, tax withholdings, direct deposits, quarterly filings, and year-end W-2s. We also handle payroll system setup if you're starting fresh.

Do you file taxes?

We don't file income taxes, but we prepare your books so your CPA has a clean file at year-end. We do handle sales tax filing for California businesses.

How quickly do you respond?

Same day. If you reach out during business hours, you'll hear back before the end of the day.

How soon can you start?

Usually within a few days of our first conversation. If your books need cleanup, we start there. If they're current, we move straight into monthly service.

Can you help me sell or buy a business?

Yes. For sellers, we organize records and prepare financial packages that support your asking price. For buyers, we analyze the seller's financials and identify any red flags before you commit.
