We provide full-service bookkeeping and tax preparation for contractors, trades, and service businesses in the Exposition Park area. Monthly transaction tracking, bank reconciliation, financial statements, and tax returns prepared with books that have been maintained properly all year. The accounting work your business needs without hiring someone to sit in an office full-time.
Exposition Park is a busy part of LA with a lot going on between the Coliseum, BMO Stadium, USC, and the ongoing development reshaping the neighborhood. The trade businesses working in and around this area need accurate books just like anyone else. We handle that remotely from our Long Beach office so you get CPA-level support without the overhead of a downtown LA firm.
Monthly Bookkeeping
Monthly Bookkeeping
Transaction categorization, bank and credit card reconciliation, monthly close, profit and loss, and balance sheet. Your books stay current every month so you can make decisions based on real numbers instead of guessing.
Catch-Up Bookkeeping
Catch-Up Bookkeeping
If your books are months or years behind, we start there. We clean up the backlog, organize everything properly, and get you to a place where monthly service can take over without any gaps.
Business and Personal Tax Returns
Business and Personal Tax Returns
Annual federal and California tax returns prepared with books we’ve maintained all year. Every eligible deduction gets captured because the records are actually there to support them. That’s where clean bookkeeping pays for itself.
Tax Strategy and Planning
Tax Strategy and Planning
Proactive planning around equipment purchases, entity structure, and timing so you stop leaving money on the table. Most trade business owners we talk to don’t realize how much they overpay simply because nobody helped them plan ahead.
Exposition Park Businesses We Work With
The Exposition Park neighborhood sits between USC, the Coliseum, and a stretch of residential blocks that keep plenty of trade businesses busy. Renovation work on older homes, facility maintenance for nearby venues, cleaning crews servicing commercial and institutional buildings, and contractors working on the development projects that keep changing the area. These are the kinds of businesses we work with every day.
We’re a Long Beach bookkeeper and CPA firm that specializes in blue-collar and service-based businesses. If you run a crew, drive a truck to job sites, and don’t have time to think about your books until tax season forces you to, we built this practice for exactly that situation. Businesses doing anywhere from $100K to a few million in revenue, big enough to need professional bookkeeping but not big enough to justify a full-time hire.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you work with businesses in the Exposition Park area?
Yes. We're based in Long Beach and serve trade businesses throughout Los Angeles, including the Exposition Park neighborhood. Nearly all of our work happens remotely, so your exact location doesn't limit what we can do for you.
What does monthly bookkeeping cost?
Starting at $200 per month. Your rate depends on monthly expense volume and complexity. We'll give you a flat quote after a short conversation about your business so there are no surprises.
Can you handle my taxes too?
Yes. We're a CPA firm, so we prepare business and personal tax returns in addition to bookkeeping. When your books are clean all year, tax season becomes a simple handoff instead of a last-minute scramble.
What if my books are months or years behind?
That's how most of our clients come to us. We do catch-up work first to bring everything current, then transition into monthly bookkeeping so it stays that way going forward.
Do I need to come to your Long Beach office?
Not at all. We handle everything remotely through secure document sharing and regular communication. If you ever prefer to meet in person, we can arrange that, but it's never required.
