Richards Bookkeeping & Income operates in Carlsbad Village at the intersection of Beech Avenue and Roosevelt Street, providing bookkeeping, individual and business tax preparation, and IRS audit-support services within the 92008 Village district. The firm's tax-preparation scope covers both individual Form 1040 and small-business Schedule C filings — a compliance range that complements the broader multi-entity CPA work at Rockwater Associates for businesses requiring reviewed or compiled financial statements. Richards' bookkeeping services include monthly bank and credit-card reconciliations, general-ledger maintenance, and accounts-receivable tracking for sole proprietors and single-member LLCs. Document authentication for tax filings and business transactions connects to the mobile notary services provided by Notary Apostille Express San Diego when apostille or consular legalization is required. The Village location places the practice within walking distance of the Carlsbad Farmers Market and the small-business corridor along Carlsbad Village Drive. Audit-support engagements include organizing substantiation documentation — receipts, mileage logs, and charitable-contribution records — into IRS-ready packages for correspondence and office examination responses.
