Bookkeeping for Oxford Small Businesses
Bookkeeping and job costing for Oxford businesses. Serving contractors, trades, and service companies throughout the Blackstone Valley.
Bookkeeping for Oxford
Oxford sits in the Blackstone Valley, a part of Massachusetts with a long history of people who work with their hands. The mills are mostly gone, but the work ethic stuck around. Today the town has contractors, trades, and service businesses that keep the region running. These businesses need accurate books and reliable financial information, but most don’t have the volume to justify hiring someone full-time.
We’re a bookkeeping firm for small businesses based in Bellingham, about 20 minutes west on Route 16. We handle monthly bookkeeping, job costing, payroll, and the catch-up work that piles up when running the business takes priority over updating QuickBooks. Oxford is in our backyard, and we understand how businesses operate here.
Monthly Bookkeeping
Monthly Bookkeeping
Transactions categorized, bank accounts reconciled, books closed every month. You get financial statements that show where the business actually stands, delivered on time with a plain-English summary of what changed.
Job Costing
Job Costing
True costs by job and phase so you know which projects made money. We track labor, materials, and subs back to each job and produce margin reports that help you bid more accurately.
Payroll
Payroll
Pay runs processed, taxes deposited, quarterly reports filed. Massachusetts withholding and unemployment handled correctly. Year-end W-2s issued without you tracking deadlines.
Catch-Up Bookkeeping
Catch-Up Bookkeeping
Books untouched for months? We sort through the history, fix miscategorizations, reconcile accounts, and deliver a clean starting point. Most clients come to us with some backlog.
Oxford Businesses We Work With
Oxford has affordable commercial space and good highway access to Worcester, Providence, and the rest of southern New England. That makes it a practical home base for contractors and trades who work throughout the region. It also has the local service businesses that any town of 13,000 people needs. What these businesses share is a need for accurate financials without the overhead of a dedicated accounting hire.
We work with established businesses, typically $50K to a few million in revenue, that have outgrown the shoebox-of-receipts approach but aren’t ready for a full-time bookkeeper.
Contractors

Common Questions
You're in Bellingham. How does that work for Oxford businesses?
We're about 20 minutes away via Route 16. Close enough to meet when it matters, but most bookkeeping happens digitally regardless of distance. Bank feeds, document uploads, and video calls handle the day-to-day.
What does monthly bookkeeping cost?
Starting at $199 per month based on transaction volume and the number of accounts. Contractors with job costing needs start at $300 per month. We quote exact pricing after learning about your business.
Do you work with contractors?
That's our specialty. Job costing, progress billing, retainage, change orders, W-9 and 1099 tracking. We understand how construction accounting differs from standard small business bookkeeping.
My books haven't been touched in months. Can you help?
Yes. Catch-up work is a normal starting point for us. We clean up the backlog, reconcile everything, and then move into monthly service once you're current.
Do you handle payroll and Massachusetts taxes?
Yes. Full payroll processing, tax deposits, quarterly filings, and year-end W-2s. Massachusetts withholding and unemployment handled correctly.
