What we handle.

Whether you need a one-time return or a long-term partner who knows your business inside and out — we build the relationship around what you actually need.

01 / Tax

Income Tax Preparation

Federal and state filings for individuals, families, and small business owners. We don't just file — we look ahead to next year.

02 / Strategy

Tax Planning & Consulting

Year-round strategy to lower what you owe, time decisions well, and avoid surprises in April. For owners and high-earners.

03 / Books

Bookkeeping

Clean, accurate, current. Monthly bookkeeping that keeps your numbers ready for any decision — or any audit.

04 / Payroll

Payroll & Sales Tax

Reliable payroll administration and quarterly sales tax filings — handled quietly in the background, the way it should be.

05 / Trusts

Trust & Estate Accounting

Sensitive, careful work for trustees and beneficiaries. We've helped families through this for two decades.

06 / Advisory

Business Advisory

From new business setup to entity restructuring to succession planning — guidance from someone who's seen the whole arc.

Two principals, one practice, every client knows our name.

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.
