Trades Businesses in Leimert Park
With the Metro K Line bringing more development to the area and older homes throughout the neighborhood needing ongoing maintenance, there’s no shortage of work for trades businesses around Leimert Park. What most of these businesses don’t have is an accurate set of books. That makes it hard to know which jobs are profitable, tough to plan for taxes, and nearly impossible to answer basic financial questions when they come up.
We work with businesses doing anywhere from a few hundred thousand to a few million in annual revenue. Owners who have been doing the books themselves or not doing them at all and are ready for someone to take it off their plate entirely.
