B&H provides comprehensive accounting, bookkeeping, and tax services to Oakland small businesses — from Port logistics operators to Uptown restaurants to Chinatown retail. Flat-rate plans, direct access to your accountant.
Oakland's economy is one of the most diverse in the Bay Area — Port logistics, food and beverage, creative arts, retail, e-commerce, and a growing tech scene. We understand all of it, along with California's full complexity of payroll, sales tax, and business tax requirements.
Monthly bookkeeping, QuickBooks accounting, payroll processing, sales tax filing, and annual tax preparation — handled by the same team who knows your Oakland business.
Oakland's minimum wage is $16.50/hr as of January 1, 2026. We apply the current rate in payroll automatically and alert you to upcoming adjustments before they take effect.
When you call, Bill or Hannah answers — not a call center. You get the same accountant every month who understands your Oakland business and its financial history.
