Bookkeeping Services for San Diego Businesses
San Diego-based bookkeeping for local businesses. Monthly books, catch-up work, and payroll setup from a bookkeeper who knows the area.
San Diego Based, San Diego Focused
Fresh Ledger is a San Diego bookkeeping firm. We’re based here, we work with businesses across the county, and we understand what it takes to run a company in this market. When you need to meet in person or drop off documents, we’re local.
Most of our clients are business owners who are good at what they do and less interested in managing QuickBooks. You focus on running your company. We make sure your books are accurate, current, and ready when you need them.

Part-Time CFO
When you need more than bookkeeping. Cash flow forecasting, budgeting, and financial strategy for San Diego businesses ready to grow beyond gut-feel decision making.
San Diego Businesses We Work With
San Diego’s economy is more than tourism. There are professional services firms downtown, contractors building throughout the county, craft breweries in North Park and beyond, marine businesses along the harbor, and restaurants serving locals and visitors alike. All of them need clean books.
We work with businesses doing roughly $200K to $3M in revenue. The size where doing bookkeeping yourself no longer works, but hiring someone full-time doesn’t make sense yet. That gap is exactly what we fill.
Professional Services

Marine Services
