Bookkeeping for Norfolk Small Businesses
Bookkeeping and payroll for Norfolk businesses. Your neighbors in Bellingham, serving contractors and service businesses across town.
Bookkeeping for Norfolk
We’re based in Bellingham, right next door. That makes us about as local as a bookkeeper can be without sharing a zip code. We provide bookkeeping services for MetroWest businesses including monthly bookkeeping, payroll, catch-up work, and the kind of job costing that contractors actually need. Norfolk businesses get a neighbor who understands the area without the overhead of a Boston firm.
Norfolk is a residential town, which means the businesses here tend to serve homeowners. Contractors, landscapers, home improvement, property services. These are project-based businesses with seasonal rhythms and cash flow that doesn’t follow a predictable pattern. That’s exactly what we’re set up to handle.
Monthly Bookkeeping
Monthly Bookkeeping
Books closed every month with transactions categorized, accounts reconciled, and financial statements delivered. You get a clear picture of where the business stands without spending your weekends in QuickBooks.
Job Costing
Job Costing
For contractors who need to see real margins by job. We track labor, materials, and subs back to each project and produce job costing reports that help you bid accurately and catch problems before they eat your profit.
Catch-Up Bookkeeping
Catch-Up Bookkeeping
Books a few months behind? Longer? We clean up the backlog, fix miscategorizations, reconcile accounts, and get you current. Most of our clients started exactly there.
Payroll
Payroll
We handle paychecks, tax deposits, quarterly filings, and year-end W-2s. Your crew gets paid on time and you stop thinking about payroll deadlines every pay period.
Norfolk Businesses We Work With
Norfolk has about 11,000 residents living in a town that still feels rural in places. Not a lot of commercial density, which means the businesses here are mostly the ones that go to where the work is. Contractors driving to job sites. Landscapers and property service companies maintaining homes and yards. Service businesses that cover Norfolk and the surrounding towns.
We work with businesses doing anywhere from $50K to a few million in revenue. Big enough to need real bookkeeping but not big enough to justify hiring someone full-time. If you’ve been doing it yourself and it’s not working anymore, or you hired someone who didn’t work out, we can step in and take it over.
Contractors

Common Questions
You're in Bellingham. How does that work for Norfolk businesses?
We're right next door. Bellingham and Norfolk share a border, so we're as local as it gets without being in the same town. Most of our work happens remotely through shared screens and secure document uploads, but we can meet in person when it makes sense.
What does monthly bookkeeping cost?
Starting at $199 per month. Your actual price depends on transaction volume and the number of accounts we're managing. We'll give you a flat monthly rate after a short conversation about your business.
Can you help with books that haven't been touched in months?
Yes. Catch-up work is a normal starting point for us. We clean up the backlog, reconcile everything, and then move into monthly service so it stays current.
Do you work with contractors?
That's a specialty. Job costing, progress billing, change orders, retainage tracking. We set up your chart of accounts to reflect how work actually happens in the field so you can see true margins by job.
Do you handle payroll?
Yes. We process payroll, handle tax deposits and filings, and issue W-2s at year end. Your employees get paid correctly and on time without you tracking deadlines.
