Accounting That Knows Your Trade
TradeBuilt Accounting serves Tustin contractors, tradespeople, and service businesses from our office in Long Beach. We handle full-service bookkeeping, tax preparation, and the financial work that keeps your business running cleanly. Everything is done remotely, and we are close enough to meet when it matters.
Most of the Tustin businesses we work with came to us in the same situation. Books that were months behind, taxes filed with incomplete numbers, and deductions left on the table because nobody was tracking them properly. We fix that and then keep it from happening again.

Tustin Trades and Service Businesses
Tustin sits right in the middle of Orange County, which means the businesses here stay busy. The Tustin Legacy development alone has brought years of construction and contractor work to the area, and the surrounding residential neighborhoods keep home service companies booked through every season. There is no shortage of work for trades businesses in this part of OC.
What’s often missing is the financial foundation to support all that activity. Crews are running, invoices are going out, expenses are piling up, and nobody is keeping score. That’s the gap we fill with bookkeeping for trades businesses that actually reflects how your company operates.

Frequently Asked Questions
You're in Long Beach. Why would a Tustin business hire you?
Long Beach to Tustin is a straight shot down the 405 or the 22. But honestly, almost everything happens digitally. Documents go through a secure portal, we communicate by phone and email, and your books get done without anyone sitting in traffic. When we need to meet, we do.
What does monthly bookkeeping cost?
Starting at $200 per month. We quote a flat rate based on your monthly expense volume so you know exactly what you're paying. No hourly billing that creeps up.
Can you handle my business and personal taxes?
Yes. Business returns start at $1,200 and personal returns start at $500. When we do both your books and your taxes, nothing falls through the cracks at filing time.
What if I haven't done my books in over a year?
That's common with the businesses we work with. We do catch-up bookkeeping to get everything current, then move you into monthly service so it stays that way.
Do you only work with contractors?
Contractors and trades make up most of our clients, but we work with other service-based businesses too. Cleaning companies, property services, facility maintenance. If you run crews and do work in the field, we probably already work with businesses like yours.
