Bookkeeping for Malibu Small Businesses

Bookkeeping for Malibu businesses. Monthly financials, catch-up work, and organized records from a Long Beach-based QuickBooks ProAdvisor.

Bookkeeping for Malibu

Malibu’s business community is smaller than most LA-area cities, but the financial complexity is anything but. Vacation rentals generating revenue across multiple platforms, contractors running high-end renovation projects, restaurants feeding locals and tourists along PCH. These businesses produce real revenue and need bookkeeping that keeps pace.

We’re a QuickBooks ProAdvisor in Long Beach who works remotely with Malibu business owners. Monthly bookkeeping, catch-up work for books that have fallen behind, invoicing, bill payment, and 1099 preparation. Your books stay current in QuickBooks Online, and you get accurate financials without having to drive into the city to sit down with someone.

Full-Service Bookkeeping

Transactions categorized, bank and credit card accounts reconciled, profit and loss statements and balance sheets delivered every month. Your books stay closed on schedule without you spending your evenings on QuickBooks.

Catch-Up Bookkeeping

Books untouched for months or years? We sort through the backlog, reconstruct what’s missing, and deliver a clean set of records you can actually work from going forward.

Bill Payment and Invoicing

Accounts payable tracked and paid on time. Invoices sent and followed up on. You stop chasing payments and missing due dates, and your cash flow picture stays clear.

Tax-Ready Records

Organized financials your CPA can use without a stack of follow-up questions. Proper categories, clean documentation, and a smooth handoff when tax season arrives.

Malibu Businesses We Work With

The stretch of PCH through Malibu has restaurants, shops, and service businesses packed into a narrow corridor. Up in the canyons and along the bluffs, there are real estate investors, property managers, contractors, and creative professionals running businesses that look nothing like each other on paper but all need the same foundation of accurate, current books.

We work with small businesses typically doing $50K to a few million in revenue. Big enough that a spreadsheet doesn’t cut it anymore, but not big enough to justify hiring someone on staff to manage the finances.

Construction and Contractors

High-end residential work is constant in Malibu, between new builds, renovations, and rebuilding after fires. Construction job costing that tracks labor, materials, and subcontractors by project so you know which jobs are actually profitable.

Real Estate and Property Management

Vacation rentals, long-term rentals, investment properties. Revenue tracked across multiple units, expenses categorized by property, and books that support lending decisions and tax reporting at year end.

Restaurants and Hospitality

The dining scene along PCH draws visitors from across LA County. Daily sales reconciliation, vendor payments, tip tracking, and food cost monitoring that keeps your margins visible instead of something you guess at.

Creative and Professional Services

Photographers, production companies, consultants, and freelancers. Project-based revenue tracking, 1099 preparation for the contractors you work with, and organized financials for businesses where income doesn’t arrive on a predictable schedule.

Common Questions

You're based in Long Beach. How does that work for Malibu businesses?

Everything is handled remotely through QuickBooks Online and secure document sharing. Most bookkeeping happens digitally regardless of where your bookkeeper sits. Long Beach is about an hour east on PCH, but the distance doesn't affect the work.

What does monthly bookkeeping cost?

Starting at $199 per month based on your average monthly expenses. We'll give you an exact price after a short conversation about your business.

Do you work with vacation rental owners in Malibu?

Yes. We track income and expenses by property, handle the categorization that matters at tax time, and keep your books organized whether you have one rental or several.

My books are behind. Can you catch them up?

Yes. Catch-up bookkeeping is one of our core services. We clean up past months or years of records, get everything current in QuickBooks Online, and then move into monthly service so it stays that way.

What software do you use?

QuickBooks Online. It keeps everything in one place, makes collaboration easy, and gives you access to your books whenever you need them. If you're not already on QBO, we can set it up and train you on how to use it.
