Bookkeeping for Wrigley Heights Businesses
Wrigley Heights is a neighborhood full of people who work hard for a living. Contractors, plumbers, electricians, landscapers, and cleaners who live here and run their businesses across Long Beach and greater LA. The work gets done, but the books often don’t. We see it all the time. Tax season rolls around and there’s a scramble to piece together a year’s worth of transactions from bank statements and shoeboxes of receipts.
We’re TradeBuilt Accounting, a Long Beach CPA firm that provides full-service bookkeeping and tax preparation specifically for trades and service businesses. Our office is just down PCH. We keep your books current month to month so you know where you stand financially and so tax time is a handoff instead of a headache.
Monthly Bookkeeping

Every transaction categorized, every account reconciled, books closed each month. You get a P&L and balance sheet that actually reflect how your business is doing. No more guessing.
Catch-Up Bookkeeping
Catch-Up Bookkeeping
Behind on your books? Six months, two years, whatever it is. We reconstruct and organize everything so your records are current and usable. Most of our Wrigley Heights clients started right here.
Business and Personal Tax Returns
Business and Personal Tax Returns
Because we do the bookkeeping, your tax returns are built on accurate numbers. That means every eligible deduction gets captured. Equipment, materials, mileage, subcontractor payments. Nothing falls through the cracks.
Tax Strategy
Tax Strategy
Should you buy that new truck this year or next? Is it time to change your entity structure? These questions are hard to answer without clean books. We help you plan purchases and timing so you keep more of what you earn.
Trades and Service Businesses in Wrigley Heights
The businesses we work with in this neighborhood are typically owner-operated. One truck or a small crew. Revenue between $100K and a few million. Big enough that the DIY bookkeeping approach is costing real money in missed deductions and bad financial decisions, but not big enough to justify a full-time accountant on staff. That’s exactly the gap our firm fills with bookkeeping for trades businesses.
Most of the owners we talk to in Wrigley Heights already know their books are a problem. They just haven’t found someone who understands their type of business. We do, because it’s all we work on.
Construction and General Contractors
Construction and General Contractors
Construction and contractor bookkeeping is our bread and butter. Job costing that shows profit by project, tracking materials and labor, and financials that hold up when you need bonding or a line of credit.
Skilled Trades
Skilled Trades
Electricians, plumbers, HVAC techs, welders. Many of you are running your own shop after years working for someone else. We set up your books right from the start and keep them that way so you can focus on the work.
Home and Property Services
Home and Property Services
Landscapers, roofers, pool service, pest control. Recurring routes and seasonal fluctuations mean your books need to reflect how your business actually operates, not how a generic template assumes it does.
Cleaning Companies
Cleaning Companies
Commercial janitorial crews, residential cleaning, pressure washing. Multiple crews, subcontractors versus employees, supplies and equipment tracking. We handle the financial side so you can keep growing the route list.
