What we do with your books
A San Diego owner can spend a whole Saturday matching card charges to receipts and still not know if last month made money. That job belongs to a bookkeeper.
Bookkeeping cleanupBooks that exist but cannot be trusted, corrected from a known good date forward.
Catch-up bookkeepingMonths or years with nothing recorded, filled in from your statements and reconciled one month at a time.
Emergency bookkeepingWhen a deadline is close and the books are not ready, the work starts with what the deadline needs.
Monthly bookkeepingA bookkeeper closes your books every month, so the numbers are current when you need to make a call.
QuickBooks cleanupA QuickBooks Online file that drifted away from the bank, brought back into balance one account at a time.
QuickBooks bookkeepingYour QuickBooks Online file, kept current by a bookkeeper who knows where the software goes wrong.
How it works
Three steps
Tell us where your books stand
Which months are done, which software you use, and what has fallen behind.
A bookkeeper reviews them
We look at your accounts and tell you which help fits: monthly, catch-up or cleanup.
Your books get current
Then we reconcile them every month, so tax time is not a scramble.
Who we work with
Every kind of business keeps its books a little differently. Each page covers what matters in yours.
- ConstructionSee profit by job, track retention and keep subcontractor paperwork ready before anyone asks.
- RestaurantSee food cost, labor cost and true sales every month, not just what landed in the bank.
- Biotech life sciencesTrack grants, code research spend correctly and know your runway before the board asks.
- BreweryTie barrels brewed and removed to your excise returns, and see what each beer really costs.
- Defense contractorKeep costs by contract, unallowables set aside and timesheets tied to payroll, every month.
- Medical practiceMatch every insurance and patient payment to the bank, and see what the practice earns each month.
- Real estateKnow what each property earns, what deposits you hold and what your CPA needs in January.
- Short term rentalTurn platform payouts into clear income, track TOT each month and know what each property earns.
Books that match how you earn
A grant-funded lab, a taproom and a vacation rental all earn money in different ways, so their books should not look alike. We set up accounts, classes and rules around how your money really comes in and goes out.
That way the profit and loss answers real questions: which location carries the others, how many months of runway are left, or what a property clears after cleaning fees and platform cuts.
One team, not one person
Books kept by a single part-time helper are at risk the week that person gets sick, moves or quits. A team writes down how your file works, so the close keeps going when someone is away.
Questions also come to you in one weekly batch instead of a text every afternoon. You answer once, and the rule goes into the file for next month.
Questions owners ask
Short answers. Ask a bookkeeper for the long ones.
Is there a San Diego office I can visit?
No. The team works remotely through your accounting file, bank feeds, shared folders and video calls. Nothing has to be dropped off.
Do you work outside the City of San Diego?
Yes. Businesses in North County, the South Bay and East County are welcome. Location mainly changes the city license and local taxes that apply.
Which accounting software do you use?
QuickBooks Online and Xero. If you are still on QuickBooks Desktop or a spreadsheet, mention it on the call, because a move to an online file often comes with a cleanup.
Will you file my tax return?
The goal is a file your CPA can prepare returns from without redoing it. No CPA yet? Raise it on the call and the partner team will explain the options.
What does it cost?
That depends on the number of accounts, the monthly transaction count and how far behind the file is. The team discusses pricing after it reviews your books.
