A small-business accountant
in San Diego.
Monthly bookkeeping and tax preparation for San Diego small businesses — from Pacific Beach to Chula Vista to everywhere in between. Flat monthly pricing. A real person you can email. Books current within 30 days — or your next month is free.
Serving San Diego and greater San Diego County.
We work with small businesses across the San Diego metro. Everything is delivered remotely — you send us what you have, we do the work, you approve. But we know the local terrain: California's franchise tax minimum, San Diego's business tax certificate, and the quarterly estimated payments that trip up every first-year owner.
If your business runs in one of these neighborhoods (or anywhere in San Diego County, including North County and the South Bay), we're a fit.

Sound familiar? Here’s exactly what we do about it.
“I have a shoebox of receipts and no idea where to start.”
Send us the shoebox. We build your books from scratch. Your first month is on us if we can’t get you current within 30 days.
“My last accountant took 8 days to reply.”
Yes, it’s written into your invoice. We track it. You see it.
“I’m terrified of an IRS audit.”
Three specific checks, every return, every time. Ask us to walk you through them on your discovery call.
Four services. Zero jargon. Real deliverables.
Monthly bookkeeping
“The shoebox problem”
Send us anything. We categorise it. You get one clean report on the 5th of every month.
Tax preparation
“The 11pm-Google problem”
Federal, state, local. Every deduction. We file. You approve. Nobody Googles “K-1” at 11pm ever again.
Quarterly tax planning
“The “am I paying too much?” problem”
Every three months we tell you exactly what to owe — and how to owe less next year.
Audit support & representation
“The “the IRS just called” problem”
We pick up. We prepare the paperwork. We show up with you. You are not alone in that room.
Hi, I’m Njock.
I co-founded NJ’s Accounting and Tax Services because small businesses deserve an accountant who answers the email. I’m QuickBooks-certified, working on my CFO certification, and I’ve spent enough years doing this to know what a bad quarter feels like.
When you email us, I’m the one who answers. Not a receptionist, not a bot, not a junior.
What actually happens after you say yes.
Free. No pitch. We just listen and tell you if we’re a fit.
Last 3 months of receipts, statements, and last year’s return. That’s it.
End of month: you get a walkthrough call and a clean report on Day 30.
One check-in call per month. No surprises. Ever.
Questions San Diego small-business owners ask us most.
- Do you actually work with San Diego small businesses, or is this just an SEO page?
- We work with small businesses across the San Diego metro — every neighborhood listed above, plus North County and the South Bay. All work is delivered remotely, but we know California and San Diego filing rules cold. If we don't think we're a fit, we'll tell you on the discovery call — free.
- How does California's franchise tax affect my small business?
- California charges an $800 minimum franchise tax for LLCs and corporations — due even if your business earned nothing that year. Most new owners don't know about it until the bill arrives. During onboarding we set up your California compliance calendar so nothing catches you off guard.
- Do I need a San Diego business tax certificate?
- If you operate within San Diego city limits you need a business tax certificate (sometimes called a business license). It's renewed annually and the fee varies by revenue. We don't file the certificate itself — that's a city clerk form — but we make sure you know the deadline and help categorize the cost.
- What about California sales tax and the San Diego district rate?
- California state sales tax plus the San Diego district add-on applies to most tangible goods sold locally. If you sell online, post-Wayfair nexus rules mean you may owe tax in states you've never visited. We map your actual nexus exposure and file where you owe — nowhere you don't.
- Are you a CPA firm? Do I need one for a San Diego small business?
- Njock is an accountant, not a CPA — which is honestly what most small businesses actually need. If your situation calls for CPA-level representation (FTB audit, IRS field audit, complex M&A), we'll say so upfront and either bring in a CPA partner or refer you out. No ego, no upsell.
- Do you have a San Diego office I can visit?
- No — and we're transparent about it. We keep overhead low so we can charge $299/mo instead of $600. Every client works with us over email, video, and phone. If in-person matters to you, we'll tell you honestly on the discovery call so you can decide.
