Book a scoping call Request a proposal

The Westside has the highest self-employment rate of any part of Los Angeles County, well above the national average, and an unusually high concentration of small professional practices, agencies and creative businesses. It also holds a substantial share of the county's nonprofit sector, and the Silicon Beach corridor running through Playa Vista and Culver City.

It is a market full of organisations that have outgrown a bookkeeper, have a real audit or reporting obligation, and have been choosing between a solo tax preparer and a firm in Century City.

Common questions

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

Do you work with technology companies in Playa Vista and Culver City?

Yes: for accounting, CFO support and audit preparation. Where venture-backed companies need audited statements for a financing round or a board, we get the books and schedules ready and help you engage an independent auditor. Worth starting the conversation before the round rather than during it.

Most accountants who appear for Westside searches are based elsewhere. Does it matter?

For pure tax filing, honestly not much. For audit preparation and CFO work it does: on-site work, board meetings and being reachable in the same time zone with the same traffic conditions all matter. It also affects how well a firm knows your context. There is a difference between an accountant who works here and one running a page about a neighbourhood.

Do you have an office we can visit?

Yes. Our office is at 1500 Rosecrans Avenue, Manhattan Beach, and meetings there are by appointment. We are also glad to come to you, which is often the more practical arrangement during a close or while preparing for an audit.

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.

The California compliance calendar

Every filing a Los Angeles business, nonprofit or association owes in a year, in date order, with the statute beside it. One page, so it can go on a wall.

  • Federal, California and Los Angeles County dates in a single sequence
  • Entity by entity, so you only read your own rows
  • The citation for each date, so you can check it yourself
  • Reviewed and dated, and reissued when a date moves

There is no instant download. A person sends it, usually the same working day.

We email you this one document and nothing else unless you ask. We do not share your details, we do not add you to a sequence, and one reply saying stop ends it.
