About Tidwell Bookkeeping Services
We take day-to-day financial management off your plate, so you have more time to run your business. We work remotely across California, with meetings at our Atascadero office by arrangement.
Personal attention. Shared expertise.
Our team handles accounts payable and receivable, bank and credit card reconciliation, payroll, bill pay, and financial reporting. We also help trade contractors with certified payroll records, DIR reporting, and job costing.
Books that fall behind, reactive payroll and vendor payments, and unclear reports can make decisions harder. We bring a regular rhythm to your financial records, with a team that responds, explains, and learns how your business works.
Some local CPAs ask their clients to have Tidwell keep the books. We work alongside your CPA, who handles your income tax returns. Bookkeeping and payroll are all we do, so your account isn't set aside when tax season hits.

Our clients’ experience
Tidwell Bookkeeping has been part of the Semmes & Co Team for over a decade.
They are solid as a rock, making my job easier. With the extensive reporting and legal filings required these days, it is relieving to have their vast experience driving these deliverables, enabling my corporation to operate confidently and without penalty. I speak of the level of competence at Tidwell Bookkeeping with great enthusiasm, however, I certainly would be remiss if I failed to mention how absolutely pleasant and upbeat their staff remains and what a positive impact that has on the morale of my entire team. I would emphatically refer Tidwell Bookkeeping to anyone looking to kick their business up to the next level of professionalism.
We engaged Tidwell Bookkeeping Services for project-based work, and it has worked out better than could be imagined.
Tidwell Bookkeeping is dedicated and focused on doing what it takes to make sure the customer's needs are met. They showed excellent flexibility and provided innovative solutions as the project scope changed and tasks shifted. They are experts in their field: organized, timely, and a real pleasure to work with.
