A few quick questions, a real range, and you can start today by paying your first month. Prefer a human? Call or text 714-489-5316 or book a free consultation.

Your Accounting Department,
Without the Payroll

You know what you sold. Do you know what you keep, what you owe, and what to do next? Each level of the ladder answers a bigger question.

Managed Books closes your month and hands you numbers you can trust. Controller turns those numbers into cash discipline. CFO puts a finance chief in your corner for pricing, hiring, and the decisions that decide the year. One team, one ladder, and you move up only when the business asks for it.

Built for companies like yours

This service fits Orange County companies that have outgrown basic bookkeeping. Typical signs:

  • Roughly $2M to $25M in annual revenue
  • 10 to 75 employees, or payroll for 10 or more
  • More than one entity or location
  • Inventory or work in process on the books
  • Sales tax filings in one or more jurisdictions

Smaller operation? Our Monthly Bookkeeping service starts from $450 per month and may fit you better.

The Ladder

Start Where It Hurts. Move Up When You're Ready.

Every price is a published range. Your exact number comes in writing before any work begins.

"Are the books done?"

Managed Books

from $1,495 per month

  • Full-cycle monthly accounting on an accrual basis
  • Every bank and credit card account reconciled
  • Payables and receivables run through the books
  • Payroll integrated into the books, sales tax tracked and filed
  • Books closed on a set calendar each month
  • Real financial statements: profit and loss, balance sheet, and cash statement

Move up when: you need someone actually watching the numbers, not just producing them.
Not included: forecasting, budget tracking, KPI reporting, and review calls.

MOST OWNERS CHOOSE THIS

"What do these numbers mean?"

Controller

from $2,750 per month

  • Everything in Managed Books
  • Cash forecasting, updated every month
  • Budget versus actual, tracked and explained
  • KPI reporting built around your business
  • A monthly review call to walk through the numbers
  • Internal controls: documented processes that protect the money

Move up when: decisions on hiring, pricing, or financing need modeling, not just monitoring.
Not included: financial modeling, scenario planning, and lender and investor reporting.

"What should we do next?"

CFO

from $4,500 per month

  • Everything in Controller
  • A financial model of your business, kept current
  • Scenario planning: what happens if you hire, expand, or take the loan
  • Pricing and margin analysis
  • Hiring capacity planning
  • Lender and investor reporting

The top of the ladder.
Not included: attest work such as audits and reviews (we coordinate with your CPA firm for those), investment advice, and IRS representation.

Onboarding and historical cleanup: $2,500 to $7,500, one time

Every engagement starts with a diagnostic of your current books, catch-up on any months behind, a chart of accounts rebuild where needed, and reconciliation of prior periods. Where you land in the range depends on how many months behind you are, how many entities you have, your transaction volume, and the condition of the existing file.

The whole ladder costs a fraction of one in-house hire, and it scales with you instead of ahead of you.

What Moves Your Price Up or Down

An honest answer, because "it depends" is not a price.

Moves it up
  • More entities or locations to account for
  • Higher transaction volume
  • Payroll for a larger headcount
  • Inventory or work in process on the books
  • Sales tax filings in multiple jurisdictions
  • A faster close, or more frequent forecast updates
Moves it down
  • A single entity with clean books
  • Lower transaction volume
  • Simple payroll handled by an outside provider
  • A monthly close cadence instead of weekly reporting

Either way, you get an exact number in writing before any work begins, and it does not change without a conversation first.

Common Questions

Straight answers about Client Accounting Services.

Why do you publish your prices?

+
-

Because nobody else in Orange County does, and we think you deserve to know what things cost before you get on a call. The ranges on this page are real. Your exact number is tailored to your business and delivered in writing before any work begins.

How do I know which level I need?

+
-

Start with the question you keep asking. If it is "are the books done?", you need Managed Books. If it is "what do these numbers mean?", you need Controller. If it is "what should we do next?", you need CFO. We help you pick on the first call, and you can move up later.

What does onboarding involve?

+
-

A diagnostic of your current books, catch-up on any months behind, a chart of accounts rebuild where needed, and reconciliation of prior periods. It is priced once, between $2,500 and $7,500 depending on how far behind the books are and how complex the business is, and you approve the number before we start.

Do you handle audits or other CPA work?

+
-

No. Attest work such as audits and reviews belongs to a licensed CPA firm. We coordinate with your CPA firm for that work and keep your books in a condition that makes it faster and cheaper. What you get from us instead: direct access to the person doing the work, no partner-hour billing, and no busy-season blackout.

Can I start smaller?

+
-

Yes. If your company has fewer than 10 employees and straightforward books, our Monthly Bookkeeping service starts from $450 per month and covers categorization, reconciliation, and monthly statements. You can step up to Client Accounting Services when the business grows into it.
