We work with contractors, trades, and service businesses on The Peninsula and across Long Beach. If you need someone to keep your books current, get your taxes filed correctly, and make sure you’re not missing deductions at year end, that’s what we do. Hands-on support from a CPA who actually picks up the phone when you have a question.
The Peninsula has a lot of small businesses doing renovation work, property maintenance, and cleaning for the waterfront homes and rentals along Alamitos Bay. These are busy people running crews and managing jobs, not sitting at a desk sorting through receipts every weekend. We take the financial side off your plate entirely.

Trades and Service Businesses on The Peninsula
Waterfront properties on The Peninsula need constant work. Remodels, upkeep, cleaning, landscaping. The businesses handling that work are often owner-operated and growing fast enough that managing the books on their own stopped making sense a while ago. As a Long Beach bookkeeper focused on the trades, we understand how these businesses run and what they need from their financial records.
We work with service businesses doing anywhere from $50K to a few million in annual revenue. Big enough to need proper bookkeeping and tax support but not big enough to justify a full-time hire. That’s the gap we fill for trades and service companies throughout The Peninsula and the surrounding area.
Contractors and Remodelers
Contractors and Remodelers
General contractors, remodelers, and builders working on Peninsula properties and throughout Long Beach. We provide contractor bookkeeping that tracks job costs, so your bids are based on real numbers and you know which projects are actually profitable.
Home and Property Services
Home and Property Services
Landscapers, roofers, pool services, and pest control. The Peninsula’s waterfront homes keep these businesses busy year-round. We track revenue by service type and customer so you can see what’s driving your growth.
Cleaning Services
Cleaning Services
Residential cleaning, commercial janitorial, pressure washing, and rental turnover cleaning. The Peninsula has plenty of vacation rentals and second homes that keep cleaning companies on a steady schedule. We manage the books so you can manage the routes.
Skilled Trades
Skilled Trades
Plumbers, electricians, HVAC techs, and welders. If you’re running a trade business and your books are a mess or nonexistent, you’re probably overpaying on taxes every year. We fix that by keeping accurate records that capture every eligible deduction.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you work with businesses on The Peninsula?
Yes. We serve businesses throughout Long Beach including The Peninsula. Everything is handled remotely, so your specific location doesn't affect how we work together.
How much does monthly bookkeeping cost?
Starting at $200 per month. The actual price depends on your monthly expense volume. We'll give you a flat rate after reviewing your business.
Can you help with my taxes too?
Yes. Michael Garr is a CPA. We prepare business and personal tax returns, handle IRS notices, and do tax planning throughout the year. When we keep your books monthly, tax season is just a handoff because the records are already clean.
What if I don't have any books at all?
That's common with the trades businesses we work with. We set up QuickBooks, categorize everything from scratch, and get you current. Then we keep it going month to month so it never falls behind again.
Do I need to come to your office?
Not required. We handle everything remotely through secure document sharing and online communication. Our office is in Long Beach if you prefer to meet, but most clients find remote service more convenient.
