Bookkeeping for Santee Small Businesses

Monthly bookkeeping, payroll setup, and catch-up services for Santee businesses. Clean books without hiring staff.

Bookkeeping for Santee Businesses

We provide small business bookkeeping for companies across Santee. Monthly transaction tracking, financial statements, catch-up work for books that have fallen behind. The accounting support you need without adding a full-time employee to your payroll.

Fresh Ledger is based in San Diego and works with businesses throughout the East County area. We handle everything remotely, which means you get professional bookkeeping without scheduling around office visits or waiting for someone to drive out to Santee.

Monthly Bookkeeping

Monthly bookkeeping that keeps your records accurate. Transactions categorized, bank accounts reconciled, profit and loss statements delivered. Your books stay current every month without you doing the work.

Catch-Up Bookkeeping

Books a few months or a few years behind? We clean up the backlog, fix errors, and get you current. Most of our clients started with catch-up work before moving to monthly service.

Payroll Setup

We configure your payroll system correctly and train you to run it yourself. You get it set up right the first time without paying ongoing fees for something you can handle once it’s working.

Bills and Invoicing

Accounts payable and receivable management. We track vendor invoices, schedule payments, send customer invoices, and send payment reminders so cash keeps moving through your business.

Santee Businesses We Work With

Santee has a solid mix of local businesses. Contractors and trades working across East County. Home service companies maintaining the pools, yards, and solar panels that come with suburban living. Retail and restaurants along Mission Gorge Road serving residents and visitors heading to Santee Lakes.

We work with business owners who started handling their own books and eventually hit a wall. Tax prep became stressful. Invoices slipped through the cracks. The numbers stopped being useful because nobody had time to keep them accurate. That’s where we come in.

Home Services

Pool maintenance, landscaping, solar installation, pest control. Santee and the surrounding neighborhoods have plenty of homes that need ongoing service. We keep the books straight while you keep the routes running.

Contractors and Trades

General contractors, plumbers, electricians, HVAC techs working throughout East County. Job costing that shows which projects make money and books that are ready when you need bonding or a loan.

Restaurants and Retail

Local eateries and shops serving the Santee community. We handle the daily reconciliation, inventory tracking, and sales tax compliance that come with high-volume, tight-margin businesses.

Professional Services

Consultants, agencies, and small firms. If you’re running a business from a Santee office or your home, we handle the bookkeeping so you can focus on the work that actually brings in revenue.
