Bookkeeping for East Boston Small Businesses

Bookkeeping and payroll for East Boston businesses. Serving Eastie's contractors, restaurants, and service companies from our MetroWest office.

Bookkeeping for East Boston

East Boston has always been a neighborhood of people who work. Generations of families have run businesses here, from the waterfront to Maverick Square to the blocks around Central Square. Now there’s new construction, new restaurants opening along Meridian Street, and a mix of longtime businesses alongside newer ones. The neighborhood is changing fast, but the need for accurate books stays constant.

We provide business bookkeeping for East Boston companies from our office in MetroWest. Monthly bookkeeping, payroll, catch-up work for books that have fallen behind. The financial support you need without hiring someone full-time or paying downtown Boston rates. We know construction workflows, service businesses, and the kind of hands-on operations that keep Eastie running.

Monthly Bookkeeping

Books closed every month with transactions categorized and accounts reconciled. Financial statements that show you where your business actually stands. No more guessing at the numbers.

Payroll

We handle paychecks, tax deposits, quarterly filings, and year-end W-2s. Massachusetts withholding and compliance taken care of. Your employees get paid correctly and on time.

Catch-Up Bookkeeping

Books untouched for six months? Longer? We sort through the backlog, reconcile everything, and deliver clean records you can work from going forward.

Tax-Ready Records

When your CPA needs financials, they’re ready. Clean books with proper categorization and documentation. Tax season becomes a handoff instead of a scramble.

East Boston Businesses We Work With

Eastie has a lot going on. Contractors renovating triple-deckers and converting old buildings. Restaurants serving everything from Colombian to Salvadoran to Italian. Service businesses keeping up with a growing population. The airport brings logistics and transportation work. What these businesses share is the need for someone who understands how small operations actually run.

We work with businesses doing anywhere from $50K to a few million in revenue. Big enough to need real bookkeeping, not so big that you have a controller on staff. That’s the gap we fill.

Contractors and Trades

Renovation work, new construction, electrical, plumbing, HVAC. East Boston has plenty of it. We handle job costing, progress billing, retainage, and the books that support bonding and bank relationships.

Restaurants and Food Service

The restaurant scene in Eastie keeps growing. High volume, thin margins, tip reporting, inventory tracking. We keep the numbers current so you know which weeks worked and which didn’t.

Service Businesses

Cleaning companies, property maintenance, auto repair, transportation services. Businesses with crews to pay and jobs to track. We handle the bookkeeping while you handle the work.

Professional Services

Insurance agents, real estate offices, consultants, small firms. If you’re running a business out of an office on Bennington Street or working from home, we keep the books straight so you can focus on clients.

Common Questions

Do you serve businesses in East Boston?

Yes. We work with businesses throughout Eastie and Greater Boston. Most of our work happens remotely, so your location in the neighborhood doesn't matter. We're based in Bellingham, about 45 minutes out, but available by phone and email whenever you need us.

What does monthly bookkeeping cost?

Starting at $199 per month based on transaction volume and complexity. We quote an exact price after learning about your business.

Do you work with contractors doing renovation work?

Yes. Contractors are a specialty. We handle job costing, progress billing, retainage tracking, and the financial side of running a construction business. East Boston has a lot of renovation work happening, and we know how to track it properly.

My books are months behind. Can you help?

That's a normal starting point for us. We do catch-up work to get everything current and reconciled, then move into monthly service so it doesn't fall behind again.

Can we meet in person?

Yes, if that's helpful. We're in Bellingham, so not around the corner, but we come into Boston when it makes sense. Most clients find that remote works well once we're up and running.
