BOOK A CONSULTATION →What we do
Los Angeles is a city of complicated income. Loan-out corporations. Multi-state residuals. Tour receipts wired across borders. Household staff on payroll. Foundation grants going out. A production company across town. A ranch in Idaho. A place in New York.
Business management is the practice of handling all of that from one place. We are a boutique Beverly Hills CPA firm at 256 South Robertson Blvd — a mile from the Beverly Hills business-manager corridor and easy reach from Century City, Hollywood, Culver City, and the Valley. We pay the bills through Bill.com, run the payroll through ADP, close the books monthly in QuickBooks Online, coordinate the loan-out with the tax filings in ProConnect, and roll it all up under a CPA signature at the top of the org chart.
One monthly price. No hourly CPA fees. We never send your private data to foreign countries. All work is U.S.-based. All staff are U.S.-based. Named partners on every engagement.

Frequently asked
Q: What makes a Los Angeles business manager different from a bookkeeper or CPA?
A: A business manager handles the whole picture — bill pay, entity management, cash flow, payroll, tax, and coordination with the rest of the client's advisory team (agent, manager, attorney, wealth advisor). A bookkeeper handles data entry. A CPA handles tax and audit. A business manager coordinates all of them. Ours happens to also be a CPA firm — so tax and books never diverge.
Q: Do you take signatory privileges on client accounts?
A: Optional. Some clients delegate signature authority for efficiency; others keep it and use our routing for approval. Either way, every transaction generates a notification, every payment is audit-logged, and clients maintain 24/7 access to the underlying data. You're never left in the dark.
Q: Do you work with entertainment industry clients specifically?
A: Yes. Loan-out corporations, residual tracking, tour advances, production company distributions, and multi-state entertainment tax filings are all core work. See our /business-management-for-entertainment page for the entertainment-specific angle.
Q: How is fee structured?
A: One monthly price covers all recurring business management services — bill pay, close, reporting, payroll coordination, tax prep, ongoing advisory. Extraordinary projects (M&A, financing, litigation support) are quoted separately. No hourly CPA fees for the recurring work.
Q: Do you work with our other advisors?
A: Yes. We are one node on the advisory team — coordinating with agents, managers, entertainment attorneys, wealth advisors, and estate-planning counsel. We do not manage investments, do not accept referral commissions, and stay in our lane on tax, accounting, and cash-flow strategy.
Q: Is your team based in the U.S.?
A: Yes. Named partners on every engagement. All staff U.S.-based. We never send your private data to foreign countries. Enterprise security through Egnyte (SOC 2), Bill.com (audit-logged), and role-based access on every system.
