Bookkeeping for Union Square Businesses
Bookkeeping and payroll for Union Square businesses. Monthly financials, catch-up work, and QuickBooks support for independent businesses in Somerville.
Bookkeeping for Union Square
Union Square has become one of the most interesting business districts in Greater Boston. The brick buildings along Somerville Ave and the stalls in Bow Market are filled with independent restaurants, creative agencies, coffee shops, and service businesses. These aren’t chain operations. They’re owner-run businesses where the person making decisions is also doing the work.
We’re local bookkeepers based in MetroWest who work with small businesses throughout Greater Boston. Monthly bookkeeping, catch-up work, payroll, and QuickBooks support. We work remotely, so there’s nothing to schedule around and you’re not paying for downtown overhead.
Monthly Bookkeeping
Monthly Bookkeeping
Transactions categorized, accounts reconciled, books closed every month. P&L and balance sheet delivered on time with a plain-English summary of what changed. You know where you stand without doing the work yourself.
Catch-Up Bookkeeping
Catch-Up Bookkeeping
Behind on your books? We clean up months or years of backlog, fix miscategorizations, reconcile accounts, and get your records current. Most clients start here before moving to monthly service.

QuickBooks Support

As certified QuickBooks ProAdvisors, we set up and maintain your books correctly. Clean chart of accounts, proper bank connections, and reports that actually make sense for how your business operates.
Union Square Businesses We Work With
The businesses that make Union Square work are mostly owner-operated. Restaurant owners in the kitchen during service. Agency founders doing client work between management tasks. Shop owners behind the counter most days. Nobody has time to keep the books current when there’s actual work to be done.
We work with service businesses doing roughly $100K to $5M in revenue. Big enough to need professional bookkeeping, not big enough to justify hiring someone full-time. If you’re in that range and the financial side keeps slipping, we’re set up to fill that gap.
Restaurants and Bars
Restaurants and Bars
Union Square has one of the best food scenes in Greater Boston. High transaction volume, tip reporting, and tight margins mean accurate books aren’t optional. We handle the restaurant bookkeeping that shows you what you’re actually keeping.
Creative Services
Creative Services
Agencies, designers, photographers, video production. Project-based work needs clear profitability tracking. We help you see which clients and projects make money and which ones just keep you busy.
Professional Services
Professional Services
Consultants, attorneys, therapists, and other professional practices around Union Square. Clean books for tax time and financials ready when you need them for a lease renewal or line of credit.
Retail and Service
Retail and Service
Boutiques, salons, wellness studios, and service businesses throughout the neighborhood. We track inventory where relevant, manage seasonal cash flow patterns, and keep your books clean month to month.
