Bookkeeping & Accounting for Cambridge Businesses
Bookkeeping and accounting for Cambridge businesses. From Kendall Square startups to Harvard Square shops, clean books and strategic financial support.
Bookkeeping for Cambridge Businesses
Cambridge runs on innovation. From the biotech labs around Kendall Square to the restaurants lining Mass Ave, businesses here move quickly. That pace creates complexity in the books. Revenue recognition for SaaS contracts, R&D expense tracking, multi-state payroll for distributed teams. We handle that complexity so you can focus on building.
We’re an Andover, MA bookkeeper that works with businesses across Cambridge and Greater Boston. Monthly bookkeeping, catch-up work, payroll, and financial strategy. The back-office support you need without adding headcount.

Cambridge Industries We Serve
Cambridge has one of the most diverse business ecosystems in Massachusetts. Venture-backed startups share blocks with law firms that have been here for decades. Restaurants in Harvard Square serve students and professors. Healthcare practices support the research community. Each type of business has different books, but they all need the same thing: accurate numbers and someone who understands their situation.
We work with Cambridge businesses doing anywhere from early-stage revenue to several million annually. If you’ve outgrown doing the books yourself but aren’t ready for a full-time accounting hire, that’s the gap we fill.
