Bookkeeping for National City Small Businesses
Bookkeeping for National City businesses. A San Diego firm serving the South Bay with monthly bookkeeping, catch-up work, and payroll setup.
Bookkeeping for National City
National City has always been a working city. The Mile of Cars draws buyers from across the county. Restaurants serve everyone from Navy families to longtime residents. Contractors and trades keep the buildings standing and the homes running. These are businesses where the owner works in the business, not just on it, and bookkeeping tends to slip when everything else demands attention.
We provide bookkeeping services for small businesses throughout National City. Monthly bookkeeping to keep your records current, catch-up work when things have fallen behind, and payroll setup so you can handle that piece yourself. The financial back office you need without hiring someone full-time.

Books closed every month with transactions categorized and accounts reconciled. Financial statements that show you where the business actually stands, delivered on a schedule you can count on.
Catch-Up Bookkeeping

National City Businesses We Work With
The South Bay has its own economy, and National City sits right in the middle of it. Proximity to the port and Naval Base San Diego brings certain types of businesses. The Mile of Cars has created a cluster of auto-related services. And the city’s diverse population supports restaurants and shops you won’t find anywhere else in the county. If you need a San Diego bookkeeping service that understands smaller, owner-operated businesses, that’s what we do.
We work with businesses doing anywhere from $50K to a few million in revenue. Big enough to need proper bookkeeping, not big enough to justify a controller on staff.
Auto Sales and Services
Auto Sales and Services
The Mile of Cars puts National City on the map for auto buyers. Dealerships, service shops, detailers, and parts suppliers all have books that need tracking. Inventory, floor plan financing, and sales tax add complexity that requires attention.
Restaurants and Food Service
Restaurants and Food Service
National City’s restaurant scene reflects its community. Filipino restaurants, taco shops, family-owned spots that have been here for decades. We track food cost, labor, and tips so you know if the month worked.
Contractors and Trades
Contractors and Trades
Residential and commercial work across the South Bay. Plumbers, electricians, general contractors. Job costing that shows which projects make money and books that hold up when you need bonding or a loan.
Marine and Port Services
Marine and Port Services
The port and nearby shipyards create demand for marine-related businesses. Repair shops, suppliers, service providers. Books that handle the irregular timing of large jobs and keep cash flow visible.
