Bookkeeping for Boston Small Businesses
Bookkeeping, payroll, and job costing for Boston businesses. MetroWest-based team serving Greater Boston with clean books and flat monthly rates.
Bookkeeping for Boston Businesses
We’re a MetroWest-based firm that provides small business bookkeeping for MetroWest Massachusetts and the Greater Boston area. Monthly bookkeeping, payroll, job costing, and catch-up work for books that have fallen behind. The financial support you need without adding a full-time employee.
Boston businesses face high operating costs across the board. Rent, labor, and overhead add up fast. Working with a firm outside the city means you’re not paying for downtown office space on top of everything else. We handle everything remotely, which keeps costs predictable and scheduling simple.
Monthly Bookkeeping
Monthly Bookkeeping
Books closed every month with transactions categorized, accounts reconciled, and financial statements delivered on time. You get a clear picture of where you stand without spending weekends catching up on QuickBooks.
Job Costing
Job Costing
Job costing for contractors that shows true costs by project and phase. We track labor, materials, and subs against each job so you can see real margins and bid more accurately on future work.
Catch-Up Bookkeeping
Catch-Up Bookkeeping
Books a few months behind? A few years? We clean up the backlog, fix miscategorizations, and get your financials current. Most of our Boston clients started exactly this way.
Payroll
Payroll
We handle paychecks, tax withholdings, quarterly filings, and year-end W-2s. Your team gets paid on time and you stop worrying about payroll deadlines and compliance.
Boston Businesses We Work With
Boston has constant construction activity. New developments in the Seaport, residential renovations across the older neighborhoods, commercial build-outs downtown. Construction and contractor bookkeeping is a core part of what we do, and Boston keeps those businesses busy.
Beyond construction, we work with service businesses, professional firms, and restaurants throughout the city. Businesses doing $100K to a few million in revenue. Big enough to need real bookkeeping but not so big that a full-time hire makes sense.
Contractors and Trades
Contractors and Trades
General contractors, electricians, plumbers, and HVAC companies working across Boston. We handle job costing, progress billing, retainage tracking, and the financial reporting you need for bonding and lending.
Restaurants and Hospitality
Restaurants and Hospitality
Boston’s restaurant scene runs on thin margins and high transaction volume. We track daily sales, manage tip reporting, and keep your books ready for the landlord, lender, or tax preparer who needs to see them.
Professional Services
Professional Services
Consultants, small law firms, engineers, and architects. We track time and expenses by client, keep overhead categorized properly, and produce clean financials for partner review or year-end tax prep.
Home and Property Services
Home and Property Services
Cleaning companies, landscapers, property managers, and maintenance crews serving Boston residences and commercial buildings. We keep the books straight while you keep the routes running.
Common Questions
Do you work with businesses throughout Boston?
Yes. Downtown, South Boston, Dorchester, Jamaica Plain, Back Bay, and everywhere else in the city. We work remotely with all our Boston clients, so your specific neighborhood doesn't matter.
What does monthly bookkeeping cost?
Starting at $199 per month. Your rate depends on transaction volume and the number of accounts. We'll give you an exact quote after a short conversation about your business.
Can we meet in person?
We can. Our office is in Bellingham, about 45 minutes from downtown Boston. Most clients prefer working remotely since it's faster and more convenient, but we're happy to meet when it's helpful.
Do you handle job costing for contractors?
That's one of our specialties. We track costs by job and phase, handle progress billing and retainage, and produce reports that show actual margins on each project.
My books are behind. Can you help?
Yes. Most of our clients come to us with months or years of backlog. We clean it up, get you current, and then move into monthly service so it doesn't happen again.
