Book Free Consultation

Who This Is For

Small business owners across California who need reliable books, whether they're starting from scratch, behind on prior months, or want monthly maintenance that connects directly to their tax return.

What's Included

Because we also prepare your tax return, year-end books are delivered as a tax-ready package, with no separate hand-off to a different firm.

How We Work

  1. 1

    Free consultation

    We learn about your business, what state the books are in, and whether you need monthly bookkeeping, catch-up, or clean-up.

  2. 2

    Clear next steps and pricing

    We explain what's needed, what documents to gather, and how pricing will be determined.

  3. 3

    Secure document collection

    You provide access to bank and credit-card statements, payroll reports, and prior books through the secure portal.

  4. 4

    Bookkeeping work

    We categorize transactions, reconcile accounts, and follow up on anything unclear. For clean-ups, we also correct prior posting errors.

  5. 5

    Reports and review

    We deliver profit and loss, balance sheet, and other reports as agreed, and review them with you so you can use the numbers to run your business.

Pricing Approach

Pricing depends on the type of service, filing complexity, number of income sources, number of states, business activity, bookkeeping condition, payroll needs, and whether prior-year or amended filings are involved. During the consultation, we review your situation and provide clear pricing before work begins.

We work with common bookkeeping, payroll, and tax systems and can help organize your records into a tax-ready format. Our process also uses secure document collection.

Frequently Asked Questions

I'm several months (or years) behind. Can you catch us up?

Yes. Catch-up bookkeeping is one of our most common projects. We import historical bank and credit-card data, categorize transactions, reconcile accounts, and prepare year-end statements so the business return can be filed cleanly.

What's the difference between catch-up and clean-up bookkeeping?

Catch-up means the books haven't been kept at all and we need to build them from source documents. Clean-up means books exist but have miscategorizations, unreconciled balances, or other issues that need to be corrected before they can be relied on.

Do my books connect to my tax return?

Yes. Because we prepare both, year-end books roll directly into the business return. You get a tax-ready package rather than a hand-off to a separate firm.

What reports will I receive?

Profit and loss statements, balance sheet reports, and year-end financials. We can customize the format and frequency based on your needs.
