Bookkeeping for Swampscott Small Businesses

Bookkeeping and payroll for Swampscott businesses. Clean monthly financials, job costing for contractors, and records your CPA will thank you for.

Bookkeeping for Swampscott

We provide bookkeeping services for small businesses in Swampscott and across the North Shore. Monthly closes, clean financials, payroll processing, and catch-up work when things have fallen behind. The kind of local bookkeeping support that keeps your back office running without adding full-time staff.

Swampscott businesses serve a market that expects quality. Homeowners in historic neighborhoods, professionals who value good work. Your financial records should reflect the same standard you bring to your customers.

Monthly Bookkeeping

Transactions categorized, bank accounts reconciled, books closed every month. You get financial statements that make sense without spending your evenings in QuickBooks.

Catch-Up Bookkeeping

Books a few months behind? A few years? We clean up the backlog, fix miscategorizations, and get you current. Most of our clients started exactly there.

Job Costing

Job costing that shows true profitability by project. We align your chart of accounts to how work actually happens in the field, so you know which jobs make money and which ones don’t.

Payroll Processing

Paychecks, tax deposits, quarterly filings, year-end W-2s. Your crew gets paid correctly and on time. You stop worrying about payroll deadlines and withholding calculations.

Swampscott Businesses We Work With

The North Shore has plenty of contractors, landscapers, and service businesses working on older homes. Swampscott’s housing stock includes properties that have stood for a century or more. That means steady work for businesses that know how to handle renovations, maintenance, and the particular needs of historic neighborhoods.

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

Contractors

General contractors, remodelers, and specialty trades working on North Shore homes. We track costs by job and phase so you can bid based on real numbers instead of guesses.

Home Services

Landscaping, cleaning, property maintenance, and home service businesses that keep Swampscott properties in shape. We handle the books while you handle the routes and schedules.

Professional Services

Consultants, small practices, and independent professionals. If you’re running a business from a Swampscott office or home, we keep the financial side organized so you can focus on client work.

Retail and Restaurants

Shops and restaurants along Humphrey Street and throughout town. We track sales, manage inventory accounting, and handle the daily reconciliation that retail and food service businesses need.

Common Questions

Do you serve businesses on the North Shore?

Yes. We work with businesses in Swampscott, Marblehead, Salem, Lynn, and throughout the North Shore. Everything happens remotely, so your location doesn't slow things down.

What does monthly bookkeeping cost?

Starting at $199 per month. We quote a flat rate based on your transaction volume and account count. No hourly billing that creeps up on you.

Do you work with contractors?

Yes, frequently. North Shore homes keep contractors busy. We handle job costing, progress billing, and the financial tracking you need to bid accurately and stay profitable.

Can we meet in person?

We work remotely with all clients, which saves everyone time. If you need a face-to-face meeting for something specific, we can arrange that.

My books are months behind. Can you help?

That's how most clients find us. We do catch-up work to get your books current, then move into monthly service so it doesn't happen again.
