Bookkeeping and Tax for Avocado Heights
Avocado Heights sits right off the 60 between the San Gabriel Valley and the City of Industry. It’s a community full of people who work with their hands. Contractors, tradespeople, landscapers, cleaning crews. The kind of businesses that stay busy all year but rarely have time to sit down and reconcile a bank statement.
We’re TradeBuilt Accounting, run by Michael Garr, CPA, out of Long Beach. We provide full-service bookkeeping and tax prep for blue-collar businesses in Avocado Heights and across greater LA. Our job is to keep your financial records accurate so you stop leaving money on the table at tax time and actually know where your business stands each month.
Monthly Bookkeeping
Monthly Bookkeeping
Transactions categorized, bank and credit card accounts reconciled, financial statements delivered. Every month, on time. You get a clear picture of revenue and expenses without doing any of the data entry yourself.
Catch-Up Bookkeeping
Catch-Up Bookkeeping
If your books are months or years behind, we fix that first. We reconstruct what’s there, track down what’s missing, and get everything current before moving to monthly service. Most of our clients started in exactly this spot.
Business Tax Returns
Business Tax Returns
Tax returns built on books we’ve maintained all year. Every eligible deduction is already captured. No scrambling, no guessing, no leaving write-offs on the table because receipts got lost or expenses went uncategorized.
Tax Strategy
Tax Strategy
Should you buy that new truck this year or next? Does your entity structure still make sense? These questions are hard to answer without accurate financials. We keep the books clean and then help you plan around them to reduce what you owe.
Avocado Heights Businesses We Work With
The businesses around Avocado Heights, La Puente, and Hacienda Heights tend to be owner-operated, service-based, and running hard. They don’t have accounting departments. Most don’t even have a bookkeeper. The owner handles everything until the books fall behind and tax season turns into a mess. That’s where a CPA for construction and trade businesses makes a real difference.
We work with businesses doing anywhere from $100K to a few million in revenue. Big enough that the finances have real consequences if they’re wrong. Not so big that you need a full-time accountant on staff. We fill that gap and stay involved throughout the year so you’re never guessing.
Construction and Contractors
Construction and Contractors
General contractors, remodelers, and builders working job sites from the SGV to downtown LA. We track income and expenses by job, keep your books lender-ready, and make sure nothing slips when you’re juggling multiple projects at once.
Skilled Trades

Electricians, plumbers, HVAC techs, welders. You’re running service calls across the valley and don’t have time to sort receipts at night. We handle the bookkeeping and make sure your truck purchases, tools, and material costs are properly recorded.
