Bookkeeping and Tax Services for Wrigley Businesses
Bookkeeping and tax services for contractors and trade businesses in Wrigley, Long Beach. Clean books, tax returns, and catch-up work at flat monthly rates.
Accounting for Wrigley Businesses
Wrigley is a working neighborhood in north Long Beach where a lot of trade and service business owners live and operate. Contractors, plumbers, electricians, cleaning companies, and landscapers running their businesses from here and working job sites across the city and the South Bay. The work always comes first. The books come whenever there’s time, which usually means they don’t.
We handle everything on the accounting side so the financial piece doesn’t fall apart while you’re busy. Monthly bookkeeping, tax returns, tax planning, and the cleanup work that happens when things have gotten away from you. All at flat monthly rates from a CPA who works exclusively with trade businesses.

Transactions categorized, bank and credit card accounts reconciled, and financial statements delivered every month. You get a clear picture of how the business is performing without spending your evenings in QuickBooks.
Catch-Up Bookkeeping

Proactive planning around equipment purchases, entity structure, and timing. We help you make informed decisions throughout the year instead of finding out what you could have done differently after the fact.
Trades and Services in Wrigley
The trade businesses in Wrigley don’t have accounting departments. Most don’t even have a dedicated office. The owner runs the crew, bids the jobs, handles the customers, and somewhere in there tries to keep the finances together. Eventually something gives, and it’s usually the books.
TradeBuilt is a CPA firm built for construction and trade businesses doing $250k to a few million in annual revenue. Big enough to need professional bookkeeping and tax preparation, but not big enough to justify hiring someone full-time. That’s exactly the gap we fill.
Construction and General Contractors
Construction and General Contractors
General contractors, remodelers, and builders working residential and commercial projects in Long Beach and throughout LA County. Job costing, progress billing, and financials that hold up when you apply for bonding or need a bank to take you seriously.
Skilled Trades
Skilled Trades
Electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, and welders. We track materials, labor, and job profitability so you can see which work is actually making money and which jobs aren’t worth the drive across town.
Home and Property Services
Home and Property Services
Landscapers, roofers, pool service companies, and pest control operators. Recurring service revenue mixed with one-time project work creates bookkeeping that gets complicated quickly if nobody is staying on top of it.
Cleaning Services
Cleaning Services
Commercial janitorial crews, residential cleaning companies, and pressure washing operations. Labor is your biggest cost and we track it properly against revenue so you can see where your margins actually stand across different accounts and contracts.
