Bookkeeping for Cohasset Small Businesses

Bookkeeping and payroll for Cohasset businesses. Professional financial management for the South Shore's coastal community.

Bookkeeping for the South Shore

Cohasset is a small town with high standards. The businesses here may not be large, but they serve clients who expect professionalism. That means your financials need to be accurate, organized, and ready when you need them for tax planning, lending, or simply understanding where you stand.

We provide ongoing bookkeeping, payroll, and catch-up services for Cohasset businesses. Everything happens remotely, which keeps overhead down and makes working together straightforward. You get professional-grade financial management without hiring someone full-time.

Monthly Bookkeeping

Transaction categorization, bank reconciliation, and monthly close. You receive P&L and balance sheet reports every month so you know exactly where the business stands.

Catch-Up Bookkeeping

Behind on your records? We clean up months or years of backlog, correct errors, and get your books current. Most clients come to us this way. No judgment, just results.

Payroll Processing

We handle payroll calculations, direct deposits, tax withholdings, quarterly filings, and year-end W-2s. Your employees get paid on time and Massachusetts compliance deadlines are met.

Tax-Ready Records

Your books are prepared for a clean CPA handoff. Properly categorized transactions, supporting documentation organized, and quarterly estimates tracked so April doesn’t surprise you.

Cohasset Businesses We Work With

Cohasset’s business community reflects its character. Professional services firms run by attorneys, consultants, and advisors. Healthcare practices serving local families. Real estate professionals working the high-value waterfront market. Restaurants and shops around the harbor that cater to residents and visitors.

These aren’t businesses with accounting departments. They’re businesses where the owner handles the finances until they can’t anymore. That’s when we step in as your Greater Boston bookkeepers, taking the financial work off your plate so you can focus on clients and patients.

Professional Services

Consultants, attorneys, financial advisors, and other professionals. Many Cohasset residents work in Boston but run independent practices. We track billable work, manage expenses, and keep profitability visible by client or project.

Healthcare Practices

Dental offices, therapy providers, and medical practices serving the South Shore community. We handle the timing gap between services rendered and insurance reimbursement so your books reflect reality.

Real Estate

Agents, brokers, and investors working the coastal market. Cohasset properties command premium prices. We track commissions, rental income, and property-level expenses across your portfolio.

Local Retail and Restaurants

The harbor area and village center have restaurants, cafes, and specialty shops that serve residents and seasonal visitors. We manage inventory costs, sales tax, and the cash flow patterns that come with coastal town seasonality.

Common Questions

You're based in Andover. Why would a Cohasset business work with you?

Bookkeeping happens digitally. Your location on the South Shore doesn't affect the quality of service. We work remotely with clients across Greater Boston. If an in-person meeting ever makes sense, we make it happen.

What does bookkeeping cost?

Monthly bookkeeping starts at $199 depending on transaction volume and complexity. We quote a flat monthly rate after reviewing your books so you know exactly what to expect.

Do you work with professional services firms?

Yes. Consultants, attorneys, financial advisors, and similar businesses are a good fit. We track profitability by client or engagement and keep your books ready for quarterly estimates and year-end.

How do we communicate if you're not local?

Phone, email, and a secure client portal for document sharing. Most clients find this more convenient than scheduling office visits. We're responsive and available when you need us.

How quickly can you take over my books?

Usually within a week. If your books need cleanup first, we handle that before moving to monthly service. Either way, we get you current and keep you there.
