Bookkeeping for Circle Area Businesses
Your neighborhood bookkeeper on Lakewood Blvd. Monthly bookkeeping, catch-up work, and QuickBooks support for Circle Area small businesses.
Right Around the Circle
BirdWise Bookkeeping is based right on Lakewood Blvd, just off the Long Beach Traffic Circle. We provide full-service bookkeeping for small businesses in the neighborhood and surrounding area. Monthly closes, catch-up work, bill payment, and invoicing handled with consistency so you always know where your business stands financially.
The Circle Area is full of small businesses that rely on their owners to handle everything. When bookkeeping keeps sliding to the bottom of the list, records get messy and tax season becomes a scramble. We take that piece off your plate with a smooth process that keeps things organized and on schedule.

Catch-Up Bookkeeping

Behind on your records? We clean up months or years of backlogged transactions, fix categorization errors, and bring everything current. Most clients start here before moving into regular monthly service.
Bill Payment and Invoicing

Circle Area Businesses We Work With
The businesses around the traffic circle and along PCH and Lakewood Blvd are mostly owner-operated. Restaurants, shops, service providers, professional offices. They don’t have accounting departments. They have an owner who is already wearing too many hats and a shoebox of receipts that keeps growing.
We work with these businesses because we understand the pace. As a QuickBooks ProAdvisor in Long Beach, Lily brings over a decade of bookkeeping experience along with an operational background that helps her understand how different businesses actually run day to day.
Restaurants and Food Businesses
Restaurants and Food Businesses
Restaurants, cafes, and food businesses along PCH and the surrounding streets. Sales tracking, tip reporting, and food cost monitoring. We keep the numbers clear so you can focus on running the kitchen and serving customers.
Retail and Local Shops

Common Questions
Are you actually located near the Circle Area?
Yes. Our office is at 2201 N Lakewood Blvd, right near the Long Beach Traffic Circle. We're a neighborhood business, not a remote firm that lists Long Beach as a service area.
How much does monthly bookkeeping cost?
Monthly bookkeeping starts at $199. We quote a flat rate based on your average monthly expenses and transaction volume. No hourly billing that creeps up on you.
What if my books are a mess right now?
That's how most clients come to us. We do catch-up bookkeeping to clean up the backlog, get your records current, and then move into regular monthly service so it stays that way.
Do I need to be using QuickBooks already?
No. If you're not on QuickBooks Online yet, we can set it up and configure it for your business. If you're already using it, we'll review the setup and make adjustments as needed.
Can we meet in person?
Absolutely. We're right on Lakewood Blvd. Most clients prefer working remotely because it's faster, but we're happy to meet locally whenever it's helpful.
