Bookkeeping for Agassiz/Radcliffe Small Businesses

Bookkeeping for small businesses in Cambridge's Agassiz/Radcliffe neighborhood. Professional services, contractors, and local businesses.

Bookkeeping for Agassiz/Radcliffe

Agassiz/Radcliffe sits at the edge of Harvard’s campus in a part of Cambridge where academics, professionals, and longtime residents share the same streets. The neighborhood has its share of consultants running practices from home offices, small firms tucked into commercial spaces along Mass Ave, and contractors renovating the area’s historic homes. Real businesses with real bookkeeping needs.

We’re based in Bellingham and serve small businesses throughout Greater Boston, including Cambridge. Monthly bookkeeping, payroll, catch-up work, and the financial reporting you need to make decisions. Everything handled remotely so you’re not commuting across the city for meetings.

Monthly Bookkeeping

Transactions categorized, accounts reconciled, books closed every month. Financial statements delivered on time with a plain-English summary of what changed. No surprises at year end.

Job Costing

For contractors working in Cambridge’s older buildings, job costing that shows true margins by project. Track labor, materials, and subs so you know which jobs actually make money.

Catch-Up Bookkeeping

Books a few months or a few years behind? We clean up the backlog, fix miscategorizations, and get you current. Most clients come to us with some cleanup needed.

Tax-Ready Records

Your CPA gets clean financials with proper categorization and supporting documentation. Quarterly estimates tracked so April doesn’t bring surprises.

Agassiz/Radcliffe Businesses We Work With

The businesses in this part of Cambridge don’t fit a single profile. You have consultants billing by project or retainer. Creative agencies serving the biotech companies up the street. Contractors dealing with Cambridge’s permit requirements and historic renovation work. Service businesses keeping the neighborhood running.

We work as the bookkeeper for small business owners who have outgrown doing it themselves but aren’t ready to hire someone full-time. Typically businesses doing $50K to a few million in revenue. The back office support you need without the overhead.

Professional Services

Professional service firms and solo practitioners. Architects, engineers, attorneys, and specialists who need clean books and reliable reporting without managing an accounting function.

Management consultants, IT consultants, business coaches. Project-based revenue tracking, retainer management, and expense categorization for businesses where time is the primary product.

Contractors

Renovation and restoration work on Cambridge’s older homes and commercial buildings. We handle progress billing, retainage tracking, change orders, and the financial complexity that comes with construction projects in a permit-heavy city.

Local Service Businesses

Restaurants, retail, salons, and the businesses that serve the neighborhood. Daily reconciliation, tip reporting, inventory tracking. Books that stay current while you focus on customers.
