Income tax preparation, planning, and consulting — plus business start-up consulting for owners launching something new.
Tax compliance and planning, estate and gift tax planning, and dedicated bookkeeper support throughout the year.
Strategies for owner contributions, group benefits, 401(k) and pension solutions, and trust coordination — built around your goals.
Complete management accounts, credit control and updates, and virtual bookkeeper support — clean books, ready when you need them.
Monthly and weekly payrolls, year-end returns, auto-enrollment details, and pension provider coordination — handled quietly in the background.
General ledger accounting, accounts payable and receivable, payroll and sales tax return strategy, and account reconciliations.
Eric Alden founded the firm in Westlake Village to do work that scales the way good accounting should — slowly, carefully, and on a first-name basis. Peter Malick, CPA-Principal, joined to bring depth in business advisory and trust work.
Between us, that's four decades of experience and a small enough practice that you'll always reach a real person.
The kind of relationships you build over decades aren't easy to summarize. Here's what some of them said anyway.
"I have always found Eric to be very approachable and nice to work with. He has always made himself available when I have had questions. His fees have been fair and reasonable."
"Eric and his team have been taking good care of my taxes for 20 years."
"The best accountant ever. Highly recommend. Reasonable price, professional, and a team that genuinely cares."
