Serving Simi Valley

Bookkeeping for Simi Valley small businesses

Simi Valley sits at the far end of the county, closer to the San Fernando Valley than to the coast, and the business mix reflects that. Contractors and specialty trades working across two counties, light manufacturing and machine shops in the industrial parks off Easy Street and Cochran, professional practices, and retail and service businesses along the Tapo and First Street corridors.

The recurring theme here is work that crosses a county line. Jobs in Los Angeles County, employees who live in one place and work in another, and licensing, insurance and payroll that have to keep up with both. Add job costing that most bookkeeping never really does, and the numbers stop meaning much by about March.

We are about forty-five minutes away, and most of the work happens over email, phone and video anyway. You will work with the two of us directly. If something looks wrong in your numbers, the person who noticed it is the person who calls you.

No account manager, no call center, no offshore back office. Two people, both of whom you will know by name.

What we do for Simi Valley businesses

Every service below is available to clients across Ventura County.

Businesses we see in Simi Valley

The work is the same everywhere. What changes is which problems come up first.

Contractors and specialty trades

Working jobs across Ventura and Los Angeles counties. Job costing that actually holds up, work in progress, retainage sitting unpaid for months, and progress billing that has to tie back to what was completed rather than what was invoiced.

Light manufacturing and machine shops

Small production shops in the industrial parks. Raw materials into work in progress into finished goods, with direct labor and overhead applied, so you can see what a part really costs rather than what you hoped it would.

Professional and service businesses

Practices, agencies and service firms billing time or retainers. Revenue recognized when the work is done rather than when the invoice clears, plus utilization and revenue per employee, which are usually the only two numbers that matter.

What every client gets

  • A flat price, agreed first. Monthly plans are a fixed fee and project work is one number in writing before anything starts.
  • Statements by the 15th. Profit and loss, balance sheet and cash flow, every month, on the same schedule.
  • A 30-minute review call. Included in every plan, with the person who did the work.
  • No charge for questions. Call, text or email as often as you need.
  • Your file stays yours. In your name, and it leaves with you if you go.

Typical fit

Owner-run businesses doing roughly $250K to $5M a year, with one to forty employees, who have outgrown doing it themselves.

If you are past that, we will tell you honestly rather than take the work and struggle.

How it starts

Three steps, and the first two cost you nothing.

1. A 20-minute call

What you run, what software you are on, how far behind you are, and what is driving you crazy.

2. A quote in 24 hours

A flat monthly price in writing, plus a separate one-time cleanup fee if you need one.

3. Setup week

We connect accounts, fix the chart of accounts, and set the close calendar. Then your first close.
