Bookkeeping for Mattapan Small Businesses

Bookkeeping and payroll for small businesses in Mattapan. Clean books, flat monthly rates, and a team that understands service businesses and contractors.

Bookkeeping for Mattapan Businesses

We provide bookkeeping for small businesses in Mattapan. Monthly bookkeeping, payroll, catch-up work when the books have fallen behind. The financial work that keeps your business running without hiring someone full-time.

Mattapan has a lot of owner-operated businesses. People who built something from scratch and handle most of it themselves. The books tend to slip because there’s always something more pressing. We take that off your plate so you can focus on the work that actually makes money.

Monthly Bookkeeping

Full-service bookkeeping that keeps your records current. Transactions categorized, accounts reconciled, financial statements delivered every month. You get clean numbers without spending your evenings in QuickBooks.

Catch-Up Work

Books a few months behind? A few years? We clean up the backlog, fix miscategorizations, and get you current. Most Mattapan clients start here before moving to monthly service.

Payroll

We handle paychecks, tax withholdings, quarterly filings, and year-end W-2s. Your employees get paid on time. You stop worrying about whether you calculated everything correctly.

Tax-Ready Records

When your CPA needs financials, they’re ready. Clean books, proper categorization, documentation in place. Tax season becomes a handoff instead of a scramble to find receipts.

Mattapan Businesses We Work With

Mattapan Square and Blue Hill Avenue have active commercial strips serving the neighborhood. Restaurants, barber shops, hair salons, small retail. There are also plenty of contractors and service businesses working the residential streets throughout Mattapan and surrounding areas.

We work with businesses doing anywhere from $50K to a few million in revenue. Big enough to need professional bookkeeping, not big enough to justify a full-time accountant. That’s the gap we fill.

Contractors and Trades

General contractors, electricians, plumbers, HVAC techs working in and around Mattapan. We track job costs so you know which projects actually made money. Books stay ready for bonding and lending.

Barber Shops and Salons

Mattapan has no shortage of barber shops and hair salons. We handle booth rental income, commission tracking, and the specific accounting these businesses need.

Restaurants and Food Businesses

Caribbean restaurants, cafes, and food businesses along the main corridors. High transaction volume, tight margins, lots of moving parts. We track it all and give you numbers you can trust.

Home Services

Cleaning services, lawn care, property maintenance. Businesses serving the residential neighborhoods in Mattapan and across Boston. We keep the books straight while you keep the routes running.

Common Questions

Where are you located?

Our office is in Bellingham, about 30 miles southwest of Mattapan. We work remotely with all our clients, so location doesn't affect the service you get.

How much does bookkeeping cost?

Monthly bookkeeping starts at $199. We quote flat rates based on your transaction volume and the number of accounts. No hourly billing that creeps up on you.

Do you work with contractors?

Yes, contractors are a specialty. We handle job costing, progress billing, retainage tracking, and 1099s. We know how construction work flows because we've managed it ourselves.

My books are a mess. Can you help?

That's how most people find us. We clean up the backlog first, then move to monthly service so it stays current. No judgment.

Can we meet in person?

Yes. Most clients prefer remote work because it's faster, but we're happy to meet if that's helpful for you.
