Bookkeeping for Medford Small Businesses

Bookkeeping and payroll for Medford businesses. Clean books, job costing for contractors, and monthly financials from a MetroWest firm.

Bookkeeping for Medford Businesses

Medford has a lot of older housing stock that keeps contractors busy. Triple-deckers getting updated, Victorian homes needing electrical work, kitchens and bathrooms being renovated throughout the Hillside and West Medford neighborhoods. That renovation economy runs on small contractors who are better at building than bookkeeping.

We provide small business bookkeeping for MetroWest Massachusetts and Greater Boston, including Medford. Monthly bookkeeping, catch-up work, payroll, and job costing for contractors who need to know their numbers by project. We work remotely from Bellingham, which means you get Massachusetts expertise without driving anywhere or paying Boston overhead.

Monthly Bookkeeping

Transactions categorized, accounts reconciled, books closed every month. You get a P&L and balance sheet with a plain-English summary of what changed. No more guessing where you stand.

Catch-Up Bookkeeping

Behind on your books? We clean up the backlog, fix miscategorized transactions, and get your records current. Most of our clients start here before moving to monthly service.

Payroll

We handle paychecks, tax deposits, quarterly filings, and year-end W-2s. Your crew gets paid on time. You stop worrying about payroll deadlines and Massachusetts withholding requirements.

Trades and Contractor Support

Electricians, plumbers, and HVAC contractors working in Medford need more than basic bookkeeping. We track costs by job, handle 1099s for subs, and produce financials that help you bid accurately.

Medford Businesses We Work With

Medford Square has longtime local businesses alongside newer restaurants and shops. Wellington Circle has commercial and retail. The neighborhoods throughout have service businesses run by people who live in the community they serve. What these businesses share is a need for accurate books without hiring someone full-time.

We work with Medford businesses doing roughly $100K to $5M in revenue. Big enough to need professional bookkeeping. Not so big that you need an internal accounting department.

Contractors and Renovators

General contractors, remodelers, and specialty trades working on Medford’s older homes. We provide job costing that shows true margins by project, tracks change orders, and produces financials ready for bonding or equipment financing.

Service Businesses

Cleaning companies, landscapers, property services. Businesses with crews, recurring customers, and seasonal patterns. We track revenue by service type and help you see which work is actually profitable.

Professional Services

Consultants, small law offices, creative agencies. Medford’s proximity to Boston and Tufts brings professional services that need clean books for client billing, expense tracking, and quarterly estimates.

Restaurants and Retail

Medford Square and the surrounding area have restaurants and shops that need high-volume transaction handling, inventory tracking, and tip reporting done correctly. We keep the books current so you can focus on customers.

Common Questions

Do you have an office in Medford?

No. We're based in Bellingham in MetroWest and work remotely with all our clients. You get Massachusetts expertise and responsive service without paying for a Boston-area office. Most clients prefer it because there's nothing to schedule and no time lost to meetings.

What does bookkeeping cost for a Medford business?

Monthly bookkeeping starts at $199. Your price depends on the number of accounts and transaction volume. We quote a flat monthly rate after reviewing your situation so there are no surprises.

Do you work with contractors?

Yes, frequently. Contractors are one of our specialties. We handle job costing, progress billing, retainage tracking, and the financial reporting that helps you price work accurately and know which jobs actually make money.

Can you help if my books are behind?

That's a normal starting point for us. We clean up months or years of backlog, fix miscategorizations, and get everything current before moving to monthly service.

How do I send you documents?

Through a secure client portal. Bank statements, receipts, invoices. Upload when it's convenient and we handle the rest. No need to drop anything off or schedule pickups.
