Accounting Services


As creative professionals on the go, you likely need access 24/7 to your secure financials online. Your unique business may also require accurate, decision-ready information.  H. Jakobsen translates financials into business intelligence so companies can make smart decisions.

 

We offer a combination of CFO, Controller, Accounting Manager, specialty Production Accounting, or basic Business Bookkeeping services under one roof – tailored to fit your creative and special business to keep your company functioning smoothly.

 

“H. Jakobsen & Co. prepares my monthly personal and business bookkeeping. I have found that having one service prepare both sets of books has been extremely useful, especially when it comes to tax preparation, cash flow forecasting, and any financing activities. Heidi and her team are always available for special projects, reporting requirements, and other projects that come up for me as a small business owner. I would recommend H. Jakobsen & Co. to others.” — Mark McKee, Capital Alternatives, Investment Management, San Francisco, CA
