Bookkeeping for Sunland-Tujunga Small Businesses
Bookkeeping and payroll for Sunland-Tujunga businesses. A Pasadena firm serving the foothill communities of the northeast Valley.
Bookkeeping for Sunland-Tujunga
Sunland-Tujunga sits at the edge of the Valley where the streets start climbing into the Verdugos and the San Gabriels. It has always been a working community. Contractors, trades, landscapers, auto shops, artists, horse people on the Shadow Hills side. The kind of businesses that get run from a truck, a garage, or a small storefront, by owners who know their craft and would rather do almost anything than spend a Sunday reconciling a bank account.
We are Pasadena bookkeepers serving the northeast Valley and foothill communities. Monthly bookkeeping, payroll, catch-up work, and the financial cleanup that owner-operated businesses need when the books have been sitting on the back burner. Based about 20 minutes east on the 210, available by phone and email the rest of the time.
Monthly Bookkeeping
Monthly Bookkeeping
Transactions categorized, bank and credit card accounts reconciled, books closed each month. You get a P&L and balance sheet that actually reflect the business instead of best-guess numbers at tax time.
Catch-Up Bookkeeping
Catch-Up Bookkeeping
Months behind, or years behind, is a common starting point. We work through the backlog, reconstruct what’s missing, and hand you a clean set of books you can work from.
Payroll
Payroll
Full-service payroll including tax deposits, quarterly filings, W-2s, and EDD reporting. Your crew gets paid, the filings happen on time, and you stop watching the calendar for payroll deadlines.
Tax-Ready Records
Tax-Ready Records
Books organized the way your CPA wants them. Clean categories, reconciled accounts, supporting documentation ready to hand off. Tax season becomes a handoff instead of an emergency.
Sunland-Tujunga Businesses We Work With
The area’s affordability compared to the rest of the basin has kept it a place where small businesses can actually operate. Shops and service businesses along Foothill Boulevard, contractors with yards tucked back on side streets, home service operators working routes that run from La Crescenta out to Lake View Terrace. Most of these are owner-operated, with a handful of employees or a mix of W-2 and 1099 help.
What they share is a need for bookkeeping that keeps up with the work without creating a second job. That’s the gap we fill. Established businesses, typically $100K to a few million in revenue, that need competent financials without hiring someone in-house.
Home and Property Services
Home and Property Services
Landscapers, tree services, roofers, pest control, pool service. The foothill terrain and older housing stock keep these trades busy year round. We handle recurring revenue tracking, crew payroll, and equipment expenses.
Contractors and Trades
Contractors and Trades
General contractors, remodelers, electricians, plumbers, HVAC. Residential work across the foothills and small commercial projects around the Valley. Job costing, subcontractor payments, and books that hold up for bonding or lending.
Auto and Equipment Shops
Auto and Equipment Shops
Repair shops, body shops, mobile mechanics, and small equipment operators along Foothill and the side streets. We separate parts from labor revenue, track inventory, and keep financials ready for quarterly sales tax.
Real Estate and Rental Operators
Real Estate and Rental Operators
Small landlords, flippers, and property owners working the more affordable pockets of the Valley. Property-level tracking, depreciation, and the reporting investors need when lenders or partners ask questions.

No. Catch-up work is a regular part of what we do. We sort through the backlog, reconcile accounts, and get you to a clean starting point before moving into monthly service.
Do you handle California payroll and sales tax?
Yes. Pay runs, tax deposits, quarterly filings, W-2s, and California sales tax filings for businesses that collect it. EDD and CDTFA handled.
Can you work with my CPA at tax time?
