Trades and Service Businesses in Silver Lake
Silver Lake’s older craftsman homes and mid-century properties keep contractors and trades workers busy year-round. Between renovations, ADU builds, remodels, and routine maintenance, there is no shortage of work in the neighborhood. But staying busy doesn’t mean much if your books are a mess and you are leaving money on the table every tax season.
We work with trades and service businesses doing anywhere from a few hundred thousand to several million in annual revenue. If you have been doing your own books or just not doing them at all, we are built for that situation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you work with businesses in Silver Lake?
Yes. We work with contractors and trades businesses throughout Silver Lake and the rest of Greater Los Angeles. Everything is handled remotely so your specific location doesn't matter.
How much does monthly bookkeeping cost?
Monthly bookkeeping starts at $200. Your actual price depends on transaction volume and total monthly expenses. We quote a flat rate after reviewing your books so there are no surprises.
My books are a mess. Can you still help?
Yes. Most of the trades businesses we work with came to us in that exact situation. We clean up whatever backlog exists and get you current before starting monthly service.
Do you only work with construction companies?
We focus on trades and service-based businesses. That includes general contractors, electricians, plumbers, HVAC techs, landscapers, cleaning companies, and other blue-collar operations.
Can you help me pay less in taxes?
That is one of the biggest reasons we push for clean books. Contractors and trades businesses miss deductions every year because their records are incomplete or nonexistent. Accurate books mean we catch everything you're entitled to.
