Welcome to HBG Bookkeeping. I’m Frederic Gladle—though most of my clients and partners know me simply as Fred Gladle. To me, “Helping Businesses Grow“ is more than a tagline—it’s the fundamental reason I do bookkeeping.

My work is centered on helping business owners increase profits, save time, and avoid costly financial mistakes through accurate, personalized financial management. Most small business owners don’t struggle because they lack skill; they struggle because they lack clear, reliable financial information. My job is to remove that burden so you can run your company with total confidence.

High-Stakes Financial Experience Brought to Small Business

I bring over 20 years of high-level financial experience to HBG Bookkeeping. My background includes holding a B.S. Degree in Corporate Finance and Investment Analysis from the University of Southern California (USC), as well as managing operations, compliance, and internal bookkeeping for a registered investment advisory firm and hedge fund.

Throughout my career, Frederic Gladle has worked closely with startups to develop business plans and secure operational structures, including assisting two companies that successfully listed on the NASDAQ stock exchange.

Operating in high-stakes financial environments taught me the critical importance of absolute accuracy, detailed documentation, and ethical integrity. Today, Fred Gladle applies those exact enterprise-grade standards to every small business HBG Bookkeeping supports.
