That’s Where We Come In.
Books In Balance started in 1999 with a passion to bring the best bookkeeping services to successful, Bay Area small business owners.
Our mission is to treat every client like our best client and to never lose sight of the person behind the ledger.
You Deserve Customized, Cost Effective Bookkeeping Solutions

We create comprehensive, cost-effective plans designed to unleash the money-making potential of your business.
