An accountant for Culver City, without the guesswork.
Bookkeeping and tax work for Culver City studios, production companies, startups, and professional practices — $100/hour, published rates throughout.
Request a consultation →Culver City is production, streaming, technology, and the freelancers who serve them. Project accounting, contractor 1099s, multi-state withholding, and equity compensation are the recurring issues, and we handle each of them directly.
Books close monthly with job-level detail where it matters, so a production or a project can be measured on its own rather than lost inside a single profit-and-loss line.
Work is done remotely by default, with in-person reviews at our Beverly Hills office, fifteen minutes east.

Do you handle production and project accounting?
Yes — job costing, per-project profit and loss, contractor payments, and year-end 1099 filing.
Can you help with RSUs and stock options?
Yes. We model the tax on vesting and exercise, set estimates so April is not a surprise, and file the return correctly.
Do you serve freelancers as well as companies?
Yes. Sole proprietors, single-member LLCs, and S-corps are a large share of the practice.
