Trusted Accountant Serving San Jose, CA & Silicon Valley

Accountant in San Jose, CA

B&H is the San Jose accountant small business owners call when they want the books done right, taxes filed correctly, and a real person to answer the phone — not a form letter from a big firm.

Your Local Accountant in San Jose, CA

San Jose is California's third-largest city and the undisputed capital of Silicon Valley — home to the world headquarters of Adobe, PayPal, eBay, Zoom, and Broadcom, and to thousands of small businesses ranging from Willow Glen boutiques and Downtown restaurants to North San Jose tech startups and Almaden Valley professional firms. The city's economy creates an unusually complex mix of accounting needs: RSU vesting schedules from publicly traded tech giants, rental income from one of the most competitive housing markets in the country, first-year business filings from SJSU alumni launching their first companies, and payroll compliance under San Jose's own minimum wage ordinance.

B&H Accounting & Tax Services handles all of it. When a San Jose business owner calls us, they reach Bill or Hannah directly — the people actually doing the accounting. We specialize in what San Jose small businesses need most: clean monthly books, accurate business and personal tax returns, payroll that stays compliant, and catch-up work for businesses that have gotten behind. Everything is handled remotely through a secure portal — no office visits required, no waiting room, no junior staff fielding your questions.

Our office is in Milpitas, CA — directly adjacent to San Jose, sitting at the center of the triangle between San Jose, Fremont, and Santa Clara. When you call B&H, you are calling a neighbor — not a distant firm that placed your city on a landing page.
