What Brought You Here?

Something's not working. The books are a mess, a decision is looming, or you need help with a transition you've never done before.

Months Behind on the Books

You've been meaning to catch up for a while now. The pile keeps growing and tax season is coming. We dig in, sort through everything, and get you current. Most cleanups go faster than clients expect.

Outgrew Your DIY Setup

QuickBooks made sense when you started. Now there are accounts you don't recognize and reports that don't add up. We clean it up, restructure it properly, or migrate you to something that fits how you work now.

Revenue Without Clarity

Money is coming in but you're not sure where it's going. You can't tell if you're actually profitable or which parts of the business are pulling their weight. Monthly closes give you that picture every single month.

Getting Ready to Sell

Whether you're retiring or just ready for the next chapter, buyers will scrutinize your financials. We organize your records, clean up the books, and build a financial package that supports your asking price.

Buying a Business

Before you sign anything, you need to know what you're actually getting. We analyze seller financials, look for red flags, verify the reported numbers, and help you decide if the deal makes sense.

Law Firm Trust Accounting

IOLTA compliance isn't optional. We handle trust account management and reconciliation for California attorneys, integrating Clio with QuickBooks and keeping you ready for State Bar audits.
