Meet Edwin
You work directly with the owner.
I’m Edwin Rendon, owner of Golden Bear Bookkeeping. I have a bachelor’s degree in accounting from California State University, Los Angeles, and I’ve spent much of my accounting career working in the roofing industry, so I understand the numbers behind a trade business, not just bookkeeping in theory. Today, I work with contractors and trade businesses that need clean books, useful monthly reports, and someone they can actually reach when questions come up.
