The firm
About Wago Pop
An accounting and CFO practice serving businesses and nonprofits across the South Bay and West Los Angeles.
Why the firm exists
Most accounting websites in Los Angeles are built to catch someone searching for help with a tax return in March. That is a real business, but it is not this one.
Wago Pop was set up for organisations with an obligation to discharge: a board preparing for an audit, a lender asking for statements, a federal contract that requires the books to be structured a particular way, an agency that has started asking questions. Those are year-round problems, and they need somebody who does this work often enough to be quick at it.
How we work
- One person who knows your file. You deal with whoever is doing the work.
- Fixed scope, fixed fee. Agreed before anything starts. No invoice for a phone call.
- Work stays in Los Angeles. Records are not sent offshore, and if that changed we would need your written consent first.
- We tell you when you do not need something. Frequently the requirement is smaller than you were told.
- Plain language. Standards vocabulary where it is genuinely required, and plain English everywhere else.
What we do, and what we do not
Wago Pop provides accounting, CFO, payroll, sales tax and audit preparation services. We do not perform audits, reviews or compilations, and we do not issue audit reports or opinions.
Where a board, lender, funder or statute requires an audit, we get the books ready for it: closed, reconciled and documented, with the schedules and the PBC list built. We then help you engage an independent auditor and support you through the engagement.
Where we work
We operate as a service-area practice across the South Bay and the Westside. El Segundo, Torrance, Manhattan Beach, Redondo Beach, Hermosa Beach, Gardena, Carson, Hawthorne, Lawndale, San Pedro, Inglewood, Mar Vista, Culver City, Santa Monica, Venice, Marina del Rey and Playa Vista. Our office is at 1500 Rosecrans Avenue in Manhattan Beach.
Audit preparation and CFO work is largely performed remotely, with meetings at the office or on site where the engagement calls for it. Being slightly outside that ring is rarely an obstacle: ask.
