Bookkeeping, payroll, and catch-up work for Bassett small businesses. Pasadena-based and serving the San Gabriel Valley.
Bookkeeping for Bassett Businesses
Bassett is a small residential community tucked between La Puente, Industry, and Baldwin Park. Around 15,000 people, mostly homes, and a strong base of owner-operated businesses that serve the neighborhoods across the San Gabriel Valley. Landscapers, handymen, plumbers, cleaners, pool techs, and the kind of small operators who earned their client list one neighbor at a time.
We’re A Squared Bookkeepers, based in Pasadena and serving small businesses throughout LA County. If you’re running an operation out of Bassett and your books have stopped keeping up with you, we can help. Clean monthly financials, payroll that runs itself, and records that are ready when your CPA asks for them. Learn more about our bookkeeping services in Pasadena and the broader San Gabriel Valley.
Monthly Bookkeeping
Monthly Bookkeeping
Transactions categorized, bank and credit card accounts reconciled, and financial statements delivered every month. Books that stay closed instead of piling up until tax season.
Catch-Up Work
Catch-Up Work
Behind six months or six years? We clean it up. Most of our Bassett-area clients start with catch-up work, then move into monthly service once everything is current.
Payroll
Payroll
Full-service payroll including paychecks, tax deposits, quarterly filings, and year-end W-2s. California has specific rules for wage reporting and we keep you compliant with them.
1099 Preparation
1099 Preparation
If you pay subcontractors, you need to file 1099s. We collect W-9s, track payments through the year, and file the forms on time so January doesn’t become a scramble.
Bassett Businesses We Work With
A residential community like Bassett generates a specific kind of business owner. Someone running a truck-based trade. A crew leader for a landscaping route. A handyman whose phone rings from word of mouth across La Puente and Hacienda Heights. These are real businesses, often with real revenue, but the owners didn’t get into the work to spend Sundays in QuickBooks.
We focus on service businesses doing roughly $100K to $3M in revenue. Big enough to need accurate books. Small enough that hiring a full-time bookkeeper doesn’t make sense yet. That’s where we fit.
Home and Property Services
Home and Property Services
Landscapers, pool service companies, pest control operators, and roofers working Bassett and the surrounding SGV neighborhoods. We handle the recurring revenue tracking, crew payroll, and equipment costs that come with property service work.
Skilled Trades
Skilled Trades
Electricians, plumbers, and HVAC techs running residential calls or working as subs on larger jobs. We track vehicle and tool expenses, manage licensing costs, and keep job-level costs organized.
Cleaning and Janitorial

Remodelers, handymen, and small general contractors taking residential jobs around Bassett and neighboring communities. We set up monthly bookkeeping that shows profit by job so bids get sharper over time.
Common Questions
Do you have an office in Bassett?
No. We're based in Old Town Pasadena and work remotely with clients throughout Los Angeles County. Bassett is a short drive when meeting in person makes sense, but most of what we do happens online.
What does monthly bookkeeping cost?
Full-service bookkeeping starts at $199 per month. Your rate depends on transaction volume and the complexity of your books. We quote a flat monthly price after looking at what you have.
I run my business out of my home in Bassett. Does that matter?
Not at all. A lot of our San Gabriel Valley clients are home-based operations. Whether you work from a truck, a garage, or a spare bedroom, we handle the books the same way.
My books are a few years behind. Can you still help?
Yes. Catch-up work is one of the most common reasons people come to us. We reconstruct what's missing, clean up what's there, and get you current before moving to monthly service.
Do you handle payroll and 1099s?
Yes. We run full-service payroll including tax deposits, quarterly filings, and W-2s. We also prepare 1099s for subcontractors and vendors at year-end.
