Keep Your Books Current in Los Angeles, CA
The same bookkeeper every month, a flat rate agreed before we start, and books closed by the 10th — so the numbers are ready when you need them.
- Suspense and uncategorized cleared every month
- A second reviewer before anything reaches you
- Read-only access — we never move money
A large share of the work here comes from project-based businesses — production freelancers, loan-out companies, apparel labels, independent restaurants. Income arrives in bursts rather than monthly instalments, which makes a standard month-by-month profit report one of the least useful documents such a business can own.
What our service covers in Los Angeles
Everything below is part of the engagement — no surprise add-ons.
Account reconciliation
Bank accounts, credit cards, PayPal, Stripe and Square matched line by line to the statement every month.
Sales tax tracking
We track what has been collected and what is owed for each period and hand the figures to your CPA or preparer. We do not file the returns.
Monthly close
A real close — balances checked against source documents, suspense cleared, statements confirmed to tie — not just a report export.
Cash flow snapshot
A short view of what came in, what went out and what is committed, so a tight month is visible before it becomes a problem.
CPA liaison
Your CPA gets what they need directly from us at year end, which is usually faster than routing every question through you.
What happens after you get in touch
Only the first step needs anything from you.
Tell us where things stand
A 20-minute call covering your transaction volume, how many accounts are in play and how far behind (if at all) things are. You get a flat monthly rate on that call.
We take over the file
Read-only feeds get connected, the chart of accounts is built or cleaned up, and we agree what belongs in your monthly pack. Roughly a week end to end.
It just runs
Transactions are categorized as they arrive, accounts reconcile monthly, and your reports land by the 10th. When something needs a decision, your bookkeeper calls you.
Why Los Angeles businesses choose Feather Accounting
This is a good fit if…
- You want records your CPA can use without a cleanup first
- You are ready to hand the books over entirely
- You want the same person every month rather than a rotating team
- You are spending evenings on the books instead of the business
When income does not arrive monthly
A production company might invoice twice in a quarter and nothing for the two months either side. Read month by month, that business looks alternately spectacular and dead. Neither reading is true.
We report against the project rather than the calendar where the work justifies it, so a job carries its own costs and its own margin regardless of which month the payment cleared. The monthly close still happens — it is what keeps the underlying records clean — but the report you read is the one that matches how the money is actually earned.
Single-member companies with several income streams are the other recurring pattern. Separating those streams properly at the point of entry saves an expensive untangling later.
Questions about this service
Anything we have not covered, ask on the call — it is free and there is no follow-up sequence.
We track receivables and payables and flag what is drifting, but we do not send invoices or move money on your behalf. Our access is read-only by design.
