Bookkeeping for the businesses of Little Arabia.

In August 2022, after years of advocacy from the Arab American Civic Council, the Anaheim City Council formally recognized the stretch of Brookhurst Street from Ball Road to Broadway as Little Arabia — the first city in the country to give an Arab American business corridor that kind of official designation. The community had been building there for decades before the sign went up: Lebanese, Syrian, Palestinian, Yemeni, and Egyptian-owned restaurants, bakeries, halal markets, and cafes, about ten minutes from Disneyland but a world away from it.

A business district built on food, family, and import

Walk Brookhurst through Little Arabia and the business mix is distinct: Middle Eastern restaurants and bakeries, hookah lounges, halal grocers and butchers, import shops carrying goods you won't find anywhere else in Orange County. A lot of these are family-run, some for multiple generations, with the kind of inventory and cash-flow patterns that don't fit a generic small-business chart of accounts — imported goods with long lead times, halal certification considerations, a restaurant scene built around family recipes rather than a franchise playbook.

Built around how these businesses actually run

• Restaurants & bakeries: POS and delivery-platform reconciliation, inventory/COGS, tip tracking
• Halal markets & import grocers: inventory with longer lead times, vendor payables across import suppliers
• Cafes & hookah lounges: cash-heavy transaction handling, inventory turnover
• Retail & specialty shops: vendor payables, sales tax handled correctly

Flat pricing, quoted up front

Monthly bookkeeping starts at $300/mo. If your books haven't been touched in a while, cleanup comes first — see how that works. Nearby, I also work with businesses in Little Saigon and Midway City.
