Empowering Your Business Through Clear Financials  

About
Our Company

Let’s be honest: you didn't start your business because you love reconciling bank statements. But I did!

I’m Tarla Draper, owner of Bookkeeping Simplified. I’m here to help small business owners and solopreneurs find their peace of mind. I know that "the books" can feel like a dark cloud hanging over your head. My goal is to clear that away with simple, transparent, and friendly bookkeeping services. I handle the decimals so you can get back to doing what you actually love.

As a lifelong South Bay resident, I proudly serve local businesses, as well as clients across California and beyond.

No need to clear off a desk, all work is done remotely.
