Everything We Do, in One Place
Bookkeeping, Payroll & Financial Services for Small Businesses
Bookkeeping that works as hard as you do: clean finances, current records, and a business that keeps moving forward. Tidwell delivers a complete suite of outsourced financial services for small businesses and trade contractors across Atascadero, San Luis Obispo County, and nationwide.
Outsourced Financial Services Tailored to Small Businesses
Every business has different financial rhythms. A construction company tracking job costs and certified payroll has different needs than a retail shop or a service firm. Tidwell builds your service mix around how your business actually operates, not around a generic template. The services below can stand alone or combine into a full-service monthly bookkeeping partnership.
Our Full Service Lineup
Monthly Bookkeeping
Bank and credit card reconciliations, expense categorization, AP/AR oversight, and clean, audit-ready financial statements delivered on a consistent monthly cadence. The foundation every healthy business runs on.
Payroll
Full-service payroll processing, direct deposit setup, federal and state tax deposits, and W-2/1099 reporting for hourly, salaried, and contract staff.
Prevailing Wage & Certified Payroll
DIR electronic certified payroll (eCPR) submissions, prevailing wage determinations, fringe benefit tracking, and WH-347 federal certified payroll filings. Our flagship specialty: certified construction payroll for trade contractors.
Financial Reporting
Profit & Loss statements, balance sheets, cash flow reports, and monthly close packages. We translate raw numbers into reports you can actually use to make decisions.
Sales Tax Filing
Sales tax tracking, jurisdiction-accurate reporting, and on-time filing across California and multi-state operations. Stay compliant and avoid penalties without thinking about it.
Catch-Up & QuickBooks Cleanup
Months or years behind? Messy QuickBooks file? We rebuild backlogged records, reconcile historical periods, and deliver clean, tax-ready financials, fast.
Specialized Prevailing Wage & Certified Payroll Compliance
While we serve small businesses across many industries, one specialty sets Tidwell apart: certified payroll and prevailing wage compliance for trade contractors. Public works projects carry strict DIR reporting, wage determination, and fringe benefit requirements that generic bookkeepers don’t handle, and that’s exactly where we lead. If you’re a contractor bidding or working public works, this is the partner you want in your corner.
