Bookkeeping and Tax for Mount Washington Businesses
Mount Washington’s hillside homes and older properties keep contractors, trades workers, and service crews busy year-round. If you’re running one of those businesses, you need books that actually reflect what’s happening financially. We handle full-service bookkeeping, tax returns, and catch-up work for trade businesses operating in and around the neighborhood.
We’re a Long Beach-based CPA firm that works remotely with clients across Greater LA. Mount Washington businesses get the same monthly attention and hands-on support as anyone else we work with. No office visits required, no waiting on callbacks. Just clean records and straight answers about your numbers.
Monthly Bookkeeping
Monthly Bookkeeping
Transactions categorized, bank and credit card accounts reconciled, and financial statements delivered every month. Your books stay current so you can make decisions based on real numbers instead of checking your bank balance and guessing.
Catch-Up Bookkeeping
Catch-Up Bookkeeping
If your records are months or years behind, we get them current before moving to monthly service. Most trade business owners we work with started in this exact spot. We clean it up without judgment and build a system going forward.
Business Tax Returns
Business Tax Returns
Tax returns filed by the same team that kept your books all year. That matters because nothing gets missed. Deductions for tools, materials, vehicle expenses, and equipment are already tracked and categorized before we ever start the return.
Tax Strategy
Tax Strategy
Should you buy that truck this year or next? Does your entity structure still make sense? These are the kinds of questions we help answer. Proper books make tax planning possible. Without them, it’s just guesswork.
Trade Businesses in Mount Washington
The neighborhood’s older craftsman homes, steep hillside lots, and ongoing renovation activity create constant work for construction and trade businesses. Remodels, hillside retaining walls, re-pipes on aging plumbing, panel upgrades in homes built decades ago. The demand is there. But the businesses doing that work often have books that don’t reflect the money moving through them.
We focus on service-based, blue-collar businesses doing anywhere from a few hundred thousand to a few million in annual revenue. If you’ve been filing taxes without proper books, you’re almost certainly leaving deductions on the table and overpaying. We fix that.

What does monthly bookkeeping cost?

Can you help if I haven't done my books in over a year?
Yes. That's actually how most of our clients come to us. We clean up the backlog first, get everything current, and then move you into monthly service so it stays that way.
Will you work directly with my tax preparer?
We handle tax returns in-house, so your books and your return come from the same team. That means nothing falls through the cracks between bookkeeping and filing. If you already have a CPA you want to keep, we can coordinate with them too.
How do I get started?
Reach out and we'll set up a call to review your situation. If your books need cleanup we scope that first. If they're reasonably current, we can start monthly service within about a week.
