HandShake Accounting started their San Francisco bookkeeping company in 1988.

HandShake knows what it takes to start a business, run a business, deal with employees and accounting issues, and the stress of wondering why you decided to be an entrepreneur! It can be lonely with so much on your shoulders and employees who will never quite understand, or should know, about certain issues.

HandShake can help you by giving you support and a shoulder to lean on. We can keep your books current, help with financial planning and budgeting, discuss employee issues, keep your local, state and federal filings up to date, and give you the peace of mind of knowing your bottom line. When one area of your business is under control you can focus on growth and operations with a clear head.

HandShake's staff are full charge bookkeepers - not accounting clerks. Bookkeeping is much more than entering checks. Its knowing how to enter complicated entries, it's financial evaluation, cash flow planning and dealing with legal issues.
