Bookkeeping and Accounting for Chandler Small Businesses
Chandler-based CPA providing bookkeeping, catch-up work, and financial strategy for local small businesses. Accurate books and real financial insight.
Bookkeeping and Accounting for Chandler
Jackrabbit Accounting is based right here in Chandler. Sean Larsen, CPA, started the firm to bring the kind of financial management that mid-size companies take for granted to small businesses that can’t justify a full-time accounting department. Before starting Jackrabbit, Sean spent years as a Director of Finance for a public homebuilder and began his career in Big 4 public accounting. That background shows up in how the work gets done and what you get back from it.
We handle bookkeeping, catch-up work, bill payment, invoicing, and financial strategy for Chandler businesses. As a QuickBooks ProAdvisor in Chandler, we also set up and clean up QuickBooks Online for owners who need their accounting system working properly from the start. The goal is always the same: accurate books and numbers you can actually understand and use.

Chandler Businesses We Work With
Chandler has changed a lot in the last twenty years. The Price Road tech corridor brought corporate offices and the professionals who work near them. Downtown Chandler has become a legitimate restaurant and retail destination. And the residential growth across the city keeps contractors and service businesses busy year-round. There’s more economic diversity here than people expect from what some still think of as just another Phoenix suburb.
We work with businesses doing anywhere from a couple hundred thousand to a few million in annual revenue. Small enough that hiring a full-time accountant doesn’t make sense, but established enough that the finances need professional attention. If you’re running a real business in Chandler and the books aren’t where they should be, that’s exactly the situation we’re built for.
Construction and Contractors
Construction and Contractors
Chandler keeps growing, and that means construction stays busy. General contractors, remodelers, and specialty trades working residential and commercial projects across the East Valley. We handle construction job costing that tracks labor, materials, and subs by project so you see real profitability. Sean spent years managing finances for public homebuilders, so this isn’t theoretical for us.
Home and Property Services
Home and Property Services
Pool maintenance, landscaping, pest control, roofing. Arizona homes require constant upkeep, and Chandler has no shortage of them. If you’re running a home and property services business with crews out in the field, we keep the books organized while you focus on routes and customers.
Restaurants and Retail
Restaurants and Retail
Downtown Chandler’s restaurant scene keeps expanding, and there are shops and dining spots scattered from Ocotillo to the 101. High transaction volume, tight margins, tip reporting, inventory tracking. We handle the financial complexity that comes with serving a lot of people every day.
Professional Services
Professional Services
Consultants, architects, engineers, agencies. Chandler’s growth has brought professional firms that need clean books and reliable financial reporting without building an internal accounting team. Whether you’re a solo consultant or a small firm with a handful of employees, we handle the numbers.

My books are behind. Can you help?
Yes. We do catch-up bookkeeping to bring everything current, then move into monthly service so it stays that way. Most clients start with some amount of cleanup.
Do you work with my tax accountant?
Absolutely. We deliver organized, tax-ready financials and communicate directly with your CPA or tax preparer. They appreciate getting clean books, and we speak their language.
Do you handle QuickBooks setup?
Yes. We're a certified QuickBooks Online ProAdvisor. If you need QBO set up from scratch or your current file needs to be restructured, we handle that too.
