Bookkeeping for La Puente Businesses
We handle bookkeeping, payroll, and catch-up work for small businesses in La Puente and the surrounding San Gabriel Valley. Monthly reconciliation, clean financial statements, and records that are ready when your tax preparer needs them. The back-office work you shouldn’t be doing on Sunday nights.
La Puente is a working community. A lot of the businesses here are family-run, operating out of a home, a shop on Valley Boulevard, or a truck that goes wherever the work is. Our job is to keep the books right so you can focus on running the work.

La Puente Businesses We Work With
La Puente’s economy runs on service businesses and trades. Contractors living here and working jobs across the SGV. Landscapers and pool guys maintaining homes in Hacienda Heights and West Covina. Mechanics, tire shops, and body shops along Amar and Hacienda. Family restaurants and bakeries that have been in the community for decades.
Most of the owners we talk to started doing their own books, kept up for a while, then fell behind when the work got busy. They need home service bookkeeping that fits how the business actually runs, not a system built for corporate clients.

Common Questions
Do you work with businesses throughout La Puente?
Yes. We work with businesses across La Puente, Valinda, Bassett, and the surrounding San Gabriel Valley cities. Most work happens remotely, so your shop or office location doesn't limit service.
What does monthly bookkeeping cost?
Full-service bookkeeping starts at $199 per month. The exact rate depends on your transaction volume and total monthly expenses. We quote a flat rate after a short conversation about your business.
I run my business out of my home. Can you still help?
Yes. A lot of La Puente businesses are run out of the house or a work truck. That doesn't change how we handle the books. We keep your business finances clean and separate from personal.
My books are a year or two behind. Is that a problem?
No. Catch-up work is one of the main reasons owners come to us. We go back through the records, clean up what's there, and get you caught up so tax season isn't a scramble.
Do you handle payroll for small crews?
Yes. Whether you have two employees or twenty, we run payroll each pay period, handle tax deposits and filings, and produce year-end W-2s. Useful for landscapers, contractors, and service crews.
