Long Beach Businesses We Work With
Long Beach is one of the most economically diverse cities in Southern California. The port drives logistics and trade, downtown keeps adding restaurants and retail, and neighborhoods like Belmont Shore, Bixby Knolls, and Retro Row are full of independent businesses. From contractors working job sites across the city to creative agencies and property managers, the range of small businesses here is wide.
We work with business owners who need accurate books but don’t have the volume or budget for a full-time bookkeeper. Typically that means businesses doing anywhere from $50K to a few million in revenue. Big enough to need professional support, small enough that outsourcing makes more sense than hiring.
Restaurants and Food Businesses
Restaurants and Food Businesses
Long Beach has a growing food scene from 2nd Street to downtown to Bixby Knolls. High transaction volumes, tight margins, and tip reporting that needs to be right. We handle the bookkeeping for restaurants and bars so you can see where the money actually goes each month.
Construction and Contractors
Construction and Contractors
Residential and commercial projects across Long Beach and the surrounding area. Job costing, subcontractor tracking, and financial records that support accurate bids, bonding requirements, and lender relationships.
Real Estate and Property Management
Real Estate and Property Management
Rental property owners, agents, and property managers throughout the city. We track income and expenses by property, handle 1099s for contractors and vendors, and keep your books organized for tax time.
Professional and Creative Services

Consultants, marketing agencies, IT firms, and other service-based businesses. Long Beach has a strong community of professionals who need clean books for client profitability tracking, invoicing, and year-end reporting.
