Lakewood Village Businesses We Work With
Lakewood Village sits in a part of Long Beach where a lot of people run their businesses close to home. Contractors parking trucks in the driveway, service vans heading out in the morning, crews meeting up before driving to job sites across LA. The businesses are real and busy, but the books often get pushed to the bottom of the list.
We work with trades and service businesses in the neighborhood doing anywhere from $100K to a few million in revenue. The kind of operations that have outgrown the shoebox-of-receipts approach but aren’t big enough to hire a full-time accountant.
