Bookkeeping for Beacon Hill Small Businesses
Bookkeeping and payroll for Beacon Hill businesses. Serving law firms, professional practices, and boutique businesses from our Andover office.
Bookkeeping for Beacon Hill
Beacon Hill is one of those Boston neighborhoods where the streets still have cobblestones and the buildings have plaques from the 1800s. But the businesses operating inside those brownstones have modern problems. Partner distributions to calculate, quarterly estimates to pay, books that need closing every month whether the office manager got around to it or not.
We’re Greater Boston bookkeepers based in Andover, serving Beacon Hill businesses that need professional financial support without hiring someone full-time. Monthly bookkeeping, payroll, and the catch-up work that accumulates when running the business takes priority over updating QuickBooks.

Beacon Hill Businesses We Work With
Walk down Charles Street and you pass boutiques, restaurants, and small professional offices tucked into ground floors. Head up the hill toward the State House and the mix shifts to law firms, consultants, and financial advisors working out of converted row houses. Different businesses with different books, but the same underlying need for accurate records and someone reliable handling them.
We work with established businesses that have outgrown the DIY approach. Revenue typically between $50K and a few million. Big enough that the books matter, not big enough for a full-time bookkeeper on staff.
Professional Services

Law firms, consultants, and advisors throughout Beacon Hill. We track billable time against collected revenue, manage partner draws, and keep the books clean for tax planning.

Common Questions
You're in Andover. How does that work for Beacon Hill businesses?
Most bookkeeping happens digitally. Documents get shared online, communication happens by phone and email, and the work gets done without anyone sitting in traffic on Storrow Drive. We come into the city when meeting in person makes sense.
What does monthly bookkeeping cost?
Starting at $199 per month based on transaction volume. Professional services firms with straightforward billing often fall on the lower end. We quote exact pricing after learning about your business.
Do you work with law firms and consultants?
Yes. Beacon Hill has a lot of professional services firms. We handle the books so partners can focus on billable work instead of chasing down expense receipts.
Can you help with books that haven't been touched in months?
That's a common starting point. We clean up the backlog, get everything current, then move to monthly service so it stays that way.
Do you handle payroll?
