Accounting & Tax for Granada Hills
Granada Hills is settled money — long-tenured homes, rental property, retirees planning the next chapter, and the small businesses along Chatsworth Street. That mix needs an accountant who handles rentals, trusts and Prop 19, retirement tax, and a shop's books alike. We do all of it, about fifteen minutes down the 5, with flat fees and same-day response.

15 minutes, no obligation. Tell us what's on your mind — a rental, a Prop 19 question, a shop's books — and we'll tell you the flat price, same business day.
Based in Santa Clarita · Fifteen minutes to Granada Hills
Granada Hills is one of the closest affluent pockets to us — a straight shot down the 5 and a few minutes over on the 118. It's long-tenured homeowners near O'Melveny Park and Knollwood, rental owners, retirees, and the family businesses along the Chatsworth Street old town. The tax questions here are the settled kind — a rental to sell, a Prop 19 transfer to the kids, an RMD to plan around — and they're exactly what we handle. Call during business hours and you'll hear back the same day, whether it's February or July.
What we do
The tax that comes with decades in a place
A long-held home, a rental or two, retirement on the horizon, maybe a small business on the strip — that's a fuller tax picture than a single W-2. We handle all of it under one roof, and plan ahead so the big decisions aren't made blind.

The clients we see most in Granada Hills
A lot of our work looks like this: a long-tenured family weighing a Prop 19 transfer to the kids. A rental owner selling one property to buy another. A retiree planning RMDs and charitable giving. A Chatsworth Street shop whose books fell behind. If that sounds like your situation, this is exactly what we do.
Why people stay
What you can expect
The same-day rule
Call or email during business hours and you'll hear back the same day. That is how we run the firm.
We handle the settled stuff
Rentals, trusts, Prop 19, RMDs — the tax questions that come with decades in a home. Not just a W-2 and a refund, but the fuller picture, planned ahead.
We give you the numbers, you keep the decisions
We model the tax of a sale, a conversion, or a gift — we're not investment advisors and don't sell products. You weigh it and execute through your own accounts.
Communication
You'll always know where you stand.
The decisions that matter here — selling a rental, a Prop 19 transfer, a Roth conversion — are ones you want to see the tax on before you commit, not after. We work ahead of them and keep you posted. Specifically:
- — Every call and email answered the same business day, all twelve months
- — The tax modeled before a sale, a transfer, or a conversion
- — A monthly close for businesses — reconciled books, P&L, and balance sheet
- — A direct line to the person handling your account — not a queue
It sounds basic. It's also what clients mention most in our reviews.

FAQ
Questions Granada Hills clients ask
I own rental property. Can you handle the taxes?
Yes — rental owners are a big part of what we do. Schedule E done right, depreciation set up correctly, repairs split from improvements, and 1031-exchange reporting if you're selling one property to buy another. The exchange itself runs through a qualified intermediary; we handle the tax side and keep you on the rules.
We've owned our Granada Hills home for decades and are thinking about Prop 19. What do we need to know?
Prop 19 changed how a home's property-tax base carries to your kids or to a replacement home, and the details and deadlines matter. We walk you through the tax implications and the timing; the claim itself is filed with the county, and for the legal side of an estate we work alongside your attorney.
I'm retired. Can you help with RMDs and charitable giving?
Yes — we model the tax of required minimum distributions, Roth conversions, and charitable strategies like qualified charitable distributions, so you keep more of what you've saved. We handle the tax side; you execute through your own accounts, and we're not investment advisors.
Do you work with the small businesses on Chatsworth Street?
Yes — the shops, offices, and practices in Granada Hills' old town are a natural fit. Bookkeeping, payroll, and the return, handled together, plus a cleanup if the books got behind.
How much does it cost?
Tax preparation is flat-fee — individual returns from $350, self-employed from $650, and business returns from $850. Bookkeeping and payroll are a flat monthly fee based on your volume. You get the exact price in writing before we start.

We're a straight shot down the 5 and over on the 118, about fifteen minutes, so Granada Hills is close. Most work runs remotely through our secure portal, but we can meet in person when it helps, and we answer the same business day.
