Our office is in Long Beach, just down PCH. Most of our work happens digitally, but being local to the South Bay means we can meet when a conversation works better face-to-face. We focus specifically on blue-collar and service-based businesses, so everything we do is built around how your business actually operates.

Redondo Beach Businesses We Work With
As a Long Beach bookkeeper and CPA, Michael Garr works exclusively with service-based and blue-collar businesses. Redondo Beach and the Beach Cities have some of the highest property values in LA County, which means steady demand for the contractors, tradespeople, and service providers who maintain and improve those properties. That creates a lot of busy business owners who don’t have time to manage their own books.
Most of the Redondo Beach businesses we work with are doing somewhere between $100K and a few million in revenue. They’ve been doing their own bookkeeping or handing a shoebox to their tax preparer once a year. Neither approach works well once the business reaches a certain size.
Contractors and Remodelers

Kitchen and bath remodels, room additions, whole-house renovations. Redondo Beach homeowners invest heavily in their properties, and the contractors doing that work need job costing, progress billing, and books that support bonding requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does working with a Long Beach firm work for Redondo Beach businesses?
We're just down Pacific Coast Highway. Most of our work happens digitally through shared access to your accounting software and secure file sharing. If you want to meet in person, our Long Beach office is a short drive away. Either way, the work gets done the same.
What does monthly bookkeeping cost?
Starting at $200 per month based on your total monthly expenses. We give you an exact price after learning about your business and transaction volume.
Do you handle both bookkeeping and taxes?
Yes. Michael Garr is a CPA, so we handle bookkeeping, business tax returns, personal tax returns, and tax planning all under one roof. Having one firm do both means nothing falls through the cracks at tax time.
My books are a mess. Can you still help?
That's actually how most of our clients come to us. We clean up the backlog, get everything current, and then move into monthly bookkeeping so it stays that way going forward.
Do you only work with construction and trades businesses?
We focus on service-based and blue-collar businesses. That includes contractors, skilled trades, landscapers, cleaning companies, property services, and similar industries. If your business runs crews or does hands-on work, we're a good fit.
