V — The founder
Samantha White, CPA
Founder, WBBM INC.
Trained in New York where the books had to hold up under federal scrutiny. Opened WBBM in Carlsbad in 2006 to bring that standard down to a size small businesses could afford. She still does the work herself.

VI — Who we work with
Four industries. Two decades. One firm.
Hospitality + Retail
Restaurants with real volume. Retailers with real complexity. Tip allocation, COGS, multi-location books.
Service Businesses
Retainers, project billing, recurring revenue. Clean books that hold up.
Government Contractors
DCAA-compliant cost accounting. Indirect rates. ICE submissions. Audit-ready, always.
VII — In their words
The work shows up when the audit comes.
“Samantha caught $40K in misclassified expenses our last bookkeeper let slip for two years. She doesn't miss things.”
VIII — Frequently asked
Are you a CPA firm?
Samantha White is a CPA and leads WBBM personally. We coordinate directly with your tax CPA when needed, or file business returns ourselves when you don't have one.
Do you outsource any work?
No. Every task — reconciliations, payroll, sales tax filings, DCAA work — is handled in-house in the United States. We never outsource, ever.
What industries do you specialize in?
Construction trades, hospitality and retail, service businesses, and government contractors. The common thread: businesses where the books have to be tight because the margins are.
Do you serve businesses outside San Diego?
Yes. Standard bookkeeping clients are mostly in San Diego County. DCAA-compliant and certified payroll work serves federal contractors and construction trades nationwide.
