Bookkeeping for El Cajon Businesses
El Cajon is the working heart of East County. Auto shops along the main corridors. Contractors running jobs throughout the valley. Restaurants downtown and along Broadway. These are businesses that don’t have time to chase receipts or reconcile bank statements. That’s why we’re here.

El Cajon Businesses We Work With
El Cajon has the kind of business diversity that comes from being a regional hub. The Mile of Cars brings auto traffic. Downtown has restaurants and shops serving the local community. Contractors work sites from here to Alpine. What these businesses share is needing accurate books without the cost of a full-time bookkeeper.
We work with El Cajon businesses doing anywhere from $100K to a couple million in annual revenue. Big enough to need professional bookkeeping, small enough that hiring someone full-time doesn’t make sense.
Contractors and Construction
