Bookkeeping & Payroll for Canton Small Businesses
Bookkeeping and payroll for Canton businesses. Serving Greater Boston's south side from our Andover office.
Bookkeeping for Canton Businesses
Canton sits at a useful intersection. Route 128 brings corporate traffic and the professional services that follow it. Washington Street has the local restaurants, shops, and service businesses that make a town run. The result is a community with a broader economic mix than you might expect from a town of 24,000 people.
We’re an Andover, MA payroll service and bookkeeping firm that works with small businesses throughout Greater Boston. Canton is about 40 minutes south, but the distance matters less than you’d think. Bookkeeping happens through screens and shared documents. What matters is whether the work gets done accurately and on time.

Common Questions
You're in Andover. Why would a Canton business work with you?
Bookkeeping is digital work. Your statements and reports don't care where they're produced. We serve businesses throughout Greater Boston, and Canton is well within that range. Most communication happens through email and video calls anyway.
What does monthly bookkeeping cost?
Starting at $199 per month depending on transaction volume and complexity. We quote flat monthly rates after learning about your business, so you know exactly what to expect.
Can you help if my books are months behind?
Yes. Catch-up work is common. We reconstruct what's there, reconcile accounts, and get you current before moving to monthly service.
Do you handle Massachusetts payroll taxes?
Yes. Payroll processing, tax withholdings, quarterly filings, and year-end W-2s. We handle the state requirements so you don't have to track the deadlines.
What size businesses do you work with?
Typically businesses doing between $100K and a few million in revenue. Big enough to need proper bookkeeping but not big enough to justify a full-time hire.
