Shael B. Jacobson, C.P.A.

It is firm policy to put all business and tax advice in writing, and clients are asked not to rely on anything said on a call until it reaches them that way. Shael B. Jacobson practices alone from Culver City, serving small and medium-sized businesses and individuals across Greater Southern California, and puts his experience at more than 45 years. The work runs from bookkeeping, payroll and write-up through financial statement preparation and tax planning to corporate, partnership, individual and trust returns. Outsourced CFO engagements extend to succession planning and merger and acquisition advisory.

As an Advanced Certified QuickBooks ProAdvisor he installs and sets up QuickBooks — Desktop, Online or Enterprise — then trains the client's staff to keep the records accurate. He also teaches bookkeeping and accounting courses at UCLA Extension. Architecture and design practices, engineering firms, law firms, restaurants and construction businesses are all on the books. Introductory calls are free but capped at thirty minutes and unavailable from February 1 through April 30; paid consultations run by phone or Zoom, and weekends are by appointment.
