Serving Thousand Oaks

Bookkeeping for Thousand Oaks small businesses

Thousand Oaks has the most white-collar business mix in the county. Biotech and medical device companies and the suppliers and consultants who work alongside them, professional practices, financial and insurance firms, agencies, and the specialty retail and service businesses along the Thousand Oaks Boulevard corridor.

Very little of that is about inventory. It is about people and time. Revenue that has been earned but not yet invoiced, or invoiced but not yet earned. Contractors and employees mixed together. Two or three entities under one owner, with money moving between them and nobody quite sure how it should be recorded.

You will work with the two of us directly. No account manager, no call center, no offshore back office. If something looks wrong in your numbers, the person who noticed it is the person who calls you.

What we do for Thousand Oaks businesses

Every service below is available to clients across Ventura County.

Businesses we see in Thousand Oaks

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

Professional practices and agencies

Firms billing time, projects or retainers. Revenue recognized when the work is done rather than when the invoice clears, unbilled work tracked rather than forgotten, and utilization and revenue per employee reported monthly, because those are usually the only two numbers that change anything.

Biotech and device suppliers

Consultants, contract shops and component suppliers working with the larger companies in town. Project and milestone revenue that has to be recognized as it is earned, contractor spend tracked properly, and books clean enough to survive a customer's diligence.

Owners with more than one entity

A practice and the building it sits in, or two related companies under one owner. Each entity kept separately and correctly, transfers between them recorded as what they actually are, and a view that lets you see both at once when you need it.

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.
