Bookkeeping for Small Businesses Across Los Angeles County

Monthly bookkeeping and financial support for small businesses throughout LA County. Remote service from a accounting software ProAdvisor based in Long Beach.

What We Handle

Los Angeles County covers a lot of ground. Eighty-eight cities, millions of residents, and small businesses on practically every block from Long Beach to Lancaster. BirdWise Bookkeeping is based right here in Long Beach, and as a accounting software ProAdvisor in Long Beach, we work with business owners throughout the county through a fully remote process. Your books get the same level of attention whether you’re in Torrance, Glendale, Pasadena, or Pomona.

We handle the day-to-day financial record keeping that small businesses need but rarely have time for. Monthly bookkeeping, catch-up work when things have fallen behind, invoicing, bill payment, and your accounting software setup. Everything stays organized in one place, and you get clear financial reports every month that actually help you understand how your business is performing.

Monthly Bookkeeping

Transaction categorization, bank and credit card reconciliation, and financial statements delivered every month. Your P&L and balance sheet stay current so you always know where your business stands instead of guessing.

Catch-Up Bookkeeping

If your records are months or years behind, we work through the backlog and bring everything current. Most business owners who reach out to us are already behind on their books. That’s a normal starting point, not a reason to put it off any longer.

Bill Payment and Invoicing

We manage your accounts payable so nothing slips through and handle invoicing so payments come in on time. Less time chasing down money and fewer surprises when you check your accounts at the end of the month.

Accounting Software Set Up

If you’re starting fresh or switching from spreadsheets, we set up your accounting software properly from the beginning. Chart of accounts, bank connections, and training so you understand what you’re looking at when you log in.

Businesses Across the County

The LA County economy is enormous and incredibly varied. Construction crews are working residential and commercial projects from the coast to the Inland Empire border. Restaurants and food businesses fill every neighborhood. Creative agencies, tech companies, ecommerce brands, and professional service firms are scattered from Silicon Beach to downtown. It all adds up to one of the largest and most diverse local economies in the country.

We work with small businesses typically doing somewhere between a few hundred thousand and a few million dollars in annual revenue. Businesses that have enough volume and complexity to need professional bookkeeping but don’t have the budget or need for a full-time hire. That gap is exactly where BirdWise fits.

Construction and Trades

General contractors, electricians, plumbers, HVAC, and specialty trades. LA County always has projects going up, coming down, or getting renovated. We provide construction job costing so you can track labor, materials, and subcontractor expenses by project and see which jobs are actually profitable.

Creative and Professional Services

LA is the creative capital, and agencies, design studios, and production companies need clean books to track project revenue, manage contractor payments, and understand profitability across clients. We also work with consultants and other professional service businesses throughout the county.

Restaurants and Food Businesses

From food trucks to full-service restaurants, LA County’s food scene is massive. Margins are thin and the pace is fast. We track food costs, labor, and daily sales so you can see what’s working and where money is getting lost before it becomes a bigger problem.

Real Estate and Property Management

Rental property owners, agents, and property managers across the county. We handle bookkeeping for multiple properties or entities, track rental income and expenses by property, and keep everything organized so tax time doesn’t turn into a scramble.

Common Questions

Do you work with businesses throughout LA County?

Yes. We're based in Long Beach and work with businesses anywhere in the county. Everything is handled remotely through your accounting software, so your specific city doesn't matter.

What does monthly bookkeeping cost?

Starting at $199 per month based on your average monthly expenses. We provide an exact quote after learning about your business and transaction volume.

How does remote bookkeeping actually work?

We connect to your bank feeds through your accounting software, categorize transactions, reconcile accounts, and deliver monthly reports. Communication happens over email, phone, or video. Most clients find it easier than meeting in person.

My books are months behind. Where do we start?

We start with catch-up work. We go through your bank and credit card statements, reconstruct the missing months, and get you current. Then we transition to ongoing monthly service so it doesn't happen again.

Do I need to use your accounting software?

We work exclusively in your accounting software. If you're using something else or haven't started with any software yet, we can set up accounting software for you and walk you through how it works.
