Bookkeeping for Madison Heights Businesses and Landlords
Bookkeeping for small businesses and property owners in Madison Heights, Pasadena. Clean books, clear reporting, flat monthly pricing.
Bookkeeping in Madison Heights
Madison Heights sits just south of Caltech, quiet streets lined with bungalows, Craftsmans, and small apartment buildings that have been here for decades. It’s mostly residential, but that doesn’t mean it’s short on business activity. Landlords, home service operators, independent professionals, and small real estate investors all run real books out of this neighborhood.
We’re Pasadena bookkeepers based a few minutes away in Old Town. We handle monthly bookkeeping, catch-up work, payroll, and property accounting for owners who need clean numbers without hiring internal staff. Everything happens either remotely or in person, whichever makes sense for you.

Who We Serve Around Madison Heights

Common Questions
Do you work with small landlords in Madison Heights?

Where is your office?
We're in Old Town Pasadena at 157 S Fair Oaks Ave. Madison Heights is a short drive east, so in-person meetings are easy when they're useful. Most ongoing work happens remotely through secure document sharing.
What does monthly bookkeeping cost?
Full-service bookkeeping starts at $199 per month. The final number depends on transaction volume and how many accounts or properties we're tracking. You get a flat rate after we review what your books actually look like.
My books are behind. Can you still help?
Yes. Catch-up work is one of the most common ways clients start with us. We organize backlogged transactions, reconcile accounts, and get your records current before moving into monthly service.

Yes on both. We manage sales tax filings where applicable and run full payroll including tax deposits, quarterly filings, and year-end W-2s.
