Bookkeeping for Burbank Small Businesses
Bookkeeping and payroll for small businesses across Burbank. Flat monthly rates, tax-ready records, and a team that knows the area.
Bookkeeping for Burbank Businesses
We’re a Pasadena-based firm that provides bookkeeping services in Burbank for small businesses across the city. Monthly bookkeeping, payroll, and catch-up work for books that have fallen behind. The back-office help you need without hiring someone full-time.
Burbank has Disney, Warner Bros, and NBC, but beyond the studios there are thousands of small businesses that keep the city running. Restaurants, shops, contractors, auto shops, creative agencies, post-production houses. They all need the same thing. Clean books and someone reliable who keeps them that way.
Monthly Bookkeeping
Monthly Bookkeeping
Transactions categorized, accounts reconciled, books closed every month. Reports you can actually use to make decisions. No weekends spent inside QuickBooks trying to remember what a charge was for.
Catch-Up Bookkeeping
Catch-Up Bookkeeping
Books a few months behind? A few years? That’s where most of our clients started. We clean up the backlog, reconcile what’s been ignored, and hand back books you can work from.
Payroll and Contractors
Payroll and Contractors
We run payroll, handle tax deposits, file quarterly returns, and take care of 1099 filings for your contractors. Burbank businesses often pay a mix of W-2 staff and freelancers, and we keep both sides clean.
Tax-Ready Records
Tax-Ready Records
When your CPA asks for financials, they’re ready. Proper categorization, documentation in place, no scramble in March to track down receipts. Tax season becomes a handoff instead of a crisis.
Burbank Businesses We Work With
The media industry gets the headlines, but Burbank’s economy runs on more than the studios. Magnolia Park has a retail and dining scene that has built up over decades. Auto row has served the Valley forever. The Media District is full of small production, post, and creative shops working around the big names. And then there are the contractors, home service operators, and professional service firms taking care of a city of 107,000 people.
We work with businesses in the $100K to a few million revenue range. Big enough to need real bookkeeping, not big enough to justify a full-time hire. If that sounds like your situation, we probably fit.
Production and Creative Services
Production and Creative Services
Small production companies, post-production shops, VFX and animation studios, commercial producers. Project-based revenue, heavy 1099 activity, equipment to track. We handle the financial side so you can stay focused on the work going out the door.
Contractors and Trades
Contractors and Trades
General contractors, electricians, plumbers, HVAC techs. Burbank’s older housing stock keeps trade work steady, and the home values make renovation projects worthwhile. We handle contractor bookkeeping with job costing so you know which projects actually make money.
Restaurants and Retail
Restaurants and Retail
Magnolia Park, Downtown Burbank, Media City Center. Food and retail businesses with tight margins and high transaction volume. We keep daily activity reconciled and the books current, so you can see where you stand without guessing.
Professional Services
Professional Services
Agencies, consultants, law firms, independent professionals. Service businesses that bill clients and track expenses. Simple, clean books that show what you’re actually keeping after everything else is paid.
