We’re based in MetroWest but work entirely remotely. That means no scheduling around Boston traffic or hunting for parking in Brighton Center. You get monthly financials delivered on time with clear explanations of what changed and why.

Brighton Businesses We Work With
Brighton has the density and diversity of any urban Boston neighborhood. Washington Street, Brighton Center, Oak Square. Restaurants and bars, retail shops, service businesses, contractors working jobs throughout the area. What these businesses share is the need for accurate books without the overhead of hiring someone in-house.

Common Questions
You're in Bellingham. Why would a Brighton business work with you?
Bookkeeping happens on screens. Your books don't care where we sit. We're about 45 minutes west on the Pike if you ever want to meet, but most clients prefer the convenience of handling everything remotely. No parking hassles, no scheduling around traffic.
What does monthly bookkeeping cost?
Starting at $199 per month based on the number of accounts and monthly transactions. We provide a fixed quote after learning about your business so there are no surprises.
Is everything handled remotely?
Yes. You share access to your bank feeds, upload receipts to a secure portal, and we handle the rest. You get monthly financials with a plain-English summary of what changed. Most Brighton business owners prefer it this way.
My books are months behind. Can you help?
That's a normal starting point. We clean up the backlog, reconcile everything, fix miscategorizations, and get you current. Then we keep it that way with monthly service.
Do you work with restaurants and bars?
Yes. Brighton has plenty of them and we understand the accounting needs. High transaction volume, tip reporting, food cost tracking, and tight margins that require accurate numbers to manage.
