Those businesses need accurate books to make good decisions and keep things running.

Common Questions
You're based in Bellingham. Why would an Acre business work with you?
Most bookkeeping happens through screens and bank feeds. We serve businesses throughout Greater Boston and MetroWest. We're about 45 minutes away if you want to meet, but most clients find remote service works well because there's no scheduling delays or driving across town.
What does monthly bookkeeping cost?
Starting at $199 per month based on your transaction volume and number of accounts. We quote exact pricing after learning about your business.
Can we meet in person?
Yes, when it makes sense. We're based in Bellingham and can meet in Lowell when needed. Most clients prefer working remotely once things are running smoothly because it's more convenient for everyone.
My books haven't been touched in months. Can you help?
Yes. Catch-up work is a big part of what we do. We organize the backlog, fix errors, reconcile everything, and get you current. Then we keep it that way going forward.
Do you work with restaurants?
Yes. The Acre has a lot of restaurants and we understand the accounting needs. Food cost tracking, tip reporting, payroll for tipped employees, and managing cash flow when margins are tight. We handle the books so you can focus on the kitchen.
