Bookkeeping for South Boston Businesses

Bookkeeping and job costing for South Boston contractors and local businesses. Clean books, accurate financials, and support from MetroWest.

Bookkeeping for South Boston

South Boston has been under construction for years. The Seaport District brought cranes and condo towers. Longtime triple-deckers get renovated into condos. New restaurants and retail open while established neighborhood spots keep serving the regulars. All of that activity means contractors staying busy and local businesses managing real money through their books.

We provide business bookkeeping for South Boston companies. Monthly closes, accurate financials, and the kind of support that lets you focus on work instead of reconciling accounts. We’re based in Bellingham but work remotely with all our clients. No downtown office overhead to pay for.

Monthly Bookkeeping

Transactions categorized, accounts reconciled, books closed every month. P&L and balance sheet delivered so you know where your business stands without spending nights in QuickBooks.

Job Costing

True costs by job and phase with margins you can trust. We align your chart of accounts to how work actually happens and produce job costing reports that help you bid and schedule better.

Catch-Up Work

Books behind? We clean up months or years of backlog, fix past errors, and get your records current. Most businesses we take on start with some level of cleanup.

Payroll

We handle payroll processing, tax deposits, quarterly filings, and year-end W-2s. Your crew gets paid on time and you stop worrying about compliance deadlines.

South Boston Businesses We Serve

Southie has layers. There are contractors working on the constant development. Professional services firms that moved in as the neighborhood changed. Restaurants and bars that have been here for generations alongside new spots serving the Seaport crowd. Different businesses, same need for accurate financials and someone who actually understands the work.

We work with South Boston businesses doing $100K to $5M in revenue. Big enough to need real bookkeeping support but not so big that a full-time accounting hire makes sense.

Contractors and Trades

Construction and contractor bookkeeping is our specialty. General contractors, subs, renovation crews. Job costing, progress billing, retainage tracking, and financials that help you bid accurately and collect what you’re owed.

Restaurants and Bars

High transaction volume, tight margins, tip reporting, and food costs that need tracking. We handle the accounting complexity so you can focus on running the floor and the kitchen.

Professional Services

Consultants, agencies, and service firms that moved into South Boston as the neighborhood evolved. Clean books, overhead tracking, and financials ready for partner review or year-end taxes.

Local Service Businesses

Cleaning companies, property services, salons, and other service businesses operating in and around South Boston. We track profitability and keep your books organized month after month.

Common Questions

Do you work with South Boston businesses?

Yes. We're based in Bellingham and work remotely with businesses throughout Boston and the surrounding area. Everything happens online so your location in Southie doesn't change how we work together.

What does bookkeeping cost for a South Boston contractor?

Monthly bookkeeping starts at $199. Job costing for contractors starts at $300 per month. We quote a flat rate based on your transaction volume and the complexity of your work.

Can you help if our books are a mess?

That's a common starting point. We do catch-up work to get you current, fix miscategorizations, and reconcile accounts before moving to monthly service.

Do you understand construction accounting?

Yes. We have engineering backgrounds and nearly twenty years of property management experience. Job costing, progress billing, retainage, change orders, WIP reports. We know how the work flows from the field to the books.

How do I get documents to you?

Through a secure client portal. Upload receipts, invoices, and whatever else you have when it's convenient. We handle the rest.
