What Manhattan Beach actually looks like

Most people know Manhattan Beach for its pier and its beach, but it has a working business base of its own: professional practices, small businesses, retail and restaurants downtown and along the main corridors, e-commerce businesses run from home offices, and a large number of owner-managed companies.

Our office is at 1500 Rosecrans Avenue, Manhattan Beach, CA 90266, in the Rosecrans corridor business district on the city's northern edge, next to El Segundo. Meetings there are by appointment.

The businesses we work with here tend to be past the stage where a spreadsheet and a once-a-year tidy-up will do, but not at the size where a full-time finance team makes sense. That gap is the part we fill: a reliable monthly close, payroll and sales tax handled properly, and financial judgement when decisions need it.

How we help Manhattan Beach businesses

Accounting & payroll

Monthly close, reconciliations and reporting, plus payroll set-up and California payroll compliance as you hire.

CFO services

Budgets, cash planning and reporting for companies that have outgrown a bookkeeper.

Sales tax

Registration, district tax, use tax and CDTFA audit representation for retailers, restaurants and online sellers.

Audit preparation

Closed books, schedules and PBC lists ready for your independent auditor, and help engaging one.

Nearby

We work across the whole South Bay, including El Segundo, Hermosa Beach, Redondo Beach and Torrance, and across the Westside from Mar Vista to Santa Monica.

Common questions

Not answered here? Ask us directly: we would rather explain it than have you guess.

Do you have an office we can visit?

Yes. Our office is at 1500 Rosecrans Avenue, Manhattan Beach, CA 90266, and meetings there are by appointment. Book a time using the form on this page or call us. We are also glad to come to you.

We run a restaurant or a shop. Can you help with sales tax?

Yes. Cash-intensive businesses such as restaurants and retail are a common focus of CDTFA audits, so it pays to have registration, district tax and use tax right from the start. If a letter has already arrived, see CDTFA audit representation.

We sell online. What should we be watching?

Sales tax registration in other states as your sales grow, marketplace rules, and inventory held in third-party warehouses are the usual issues. Inside California, district tax on delivered goods generally follows the delivery address, which is where many online sellers go wrong. See e-commerce and our nexus page.

Do you perform audits?

No. We prepare you for one: we close and reconcile the books, build the schedules and the PBC list, support you through the engagement and help you engage an independent auditor. The audit itself, and any report on your financial statements, comes from that auditor.

How do we start?

Book a scoping call using the form on this page, or call us. We will ask what you need, who is asking you for it, and what condition your records are in, then tell you what the engagement involves and what it will cost before anything begins.
