South Coast Metro is one of Santa Ana's distinctive business communities. A major retail and commercial district. Whether you run a storefront, a service company, or a home-based venture here, Tides Bookkeeping keeps your books accurate, categorized, and ready for tax season - without you ever leaving South Coast Metro.
As part of the greater Santa Ana, CA economy within Orange County, South Coast Metro businesses share the same California tax and compliance landscape as the rest of the area. Our remote-first process means you get a dedicated bookkeeper and clean monthly financials no matter where in Santa Ana you are located - reconciled accounts, categorized transactions, and monthly profit-and-loss and balance-sheet reporting you can actually use.
California carries the heaviest tax load in the country. The personal income tax is the nation's highest, graduated up to 13.3%, and the state sales tax starts at 7.25% - the highest base rate in the U.S. - which local district taxes push past 10% in many areas. On top of that, every LLC and corporation owes an $800 minimum annual franchise tax to the Franchise Tax Board, regardless of profit. Keeping income, sales, and franchise-tax records clean is exactly what we do.
