Who we help in California
Owners of landscapers, cleaners, salon and barber owners, food trucks, and independent contractors — in Los Angeles, San Diego, San Jose, San Francisco, Fresno, Sacramento, and everywhere else in the state. Everything happens online by upload and email, so there's no office to visit.
How it works
- You send your bank statement, cash jobs, and any notes.
- We do the books: every transaction sorted into Schedule C categories, reviewed by a person.
- You get an email with money in, expenses, profit, and a suggested tax set-aside, plus Excel and PDF files.
What California business owners should know
- California LLCs owe an $800 annual franchise tax to the Franchise Tax Board, even in a slow year. Your books help you plan for it instead of being surprised.
- If you sell taxable goods, you generally need a seller's permit from the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration (CDTFA). Your monthly report separates taxable sales so filing is simpler.
- California has a state income tax, so the set-aside guidance in your report is a starting point to review with your tax preparer.
