Bookkeeping for Downtown Boston Businesses

Bookkeeping and payroll for Downtown Boston businesses. Merrimack Valley expertise without the downtown overhead.

Bookkeeping for Downtown Boston

Downtown Boston has plenty of accounting firms. Most of them charge rates that reflect their State Street or Post Office Square addresses. We’re Merrimack Valley bookkeepers who serve businesses throughout Greater Boston without the downtown markup. Same professional work, better value for companies that would rather put money into growth than overhead.

We provide bookkeeping, payroll, and financial strategy services for small businesses operating in Downtown Boston. Whether you’re running a startup in the Innovation District or an established practice in the Financial District, we handle the accounting so you can focus on what you actually do.

Monthly Bookkeeping

Transactions categorized, accounts reconciled, books closed every month. Financial statements that actually reflect your business delivered on a schedule you can count on.

Catch-Up Bookkeeping

Books untouched for months? We reconstruct what’s missing, fix categorization errors, and get you current. Most downtown clients come to us because they’ve fallen behind and need someone to sort it out.

Payroll Services

Full payroll processing with tax deposits, quarterly filings, and year-end W-2s. We handle Massachusetts requirements and multi-state compliance if you have remote employees elsewhere.

Financial Strategy

Fractional CFO services for growing businesses that need more than bookkeeping. Cash flow forecasting, budget development, and the financial guidance to make better decisions.

Downtown Boston Businesses We Work With

The Financial District, Government Center, the Seaport, and surrounding neighborhoods hold a concentration of growing businesses. Law firms and consultants billing by the hour. Startups burning through runway while chasing product-market fit. Restaurants and cafes serving the office crowd. Healthcare practices tucked into commercial buildings. All of them need books that work.

We work with businesses doing $50K to several million in revenue. Established enough to need real bookkeeping but not large enough to justify a full-time accounting hire. That’s the gap we fill.

Professional Services

Law firms, consulting practices, marketing agencies, and other professional services with billable hours, retainers, and complex revenue recognition. We keep the financials clean and the reporting accurate.

Tech Startups

The Seaport and Innovation District have attracted tech companies at every stage. We handle the books from early days through growth phases and prepare financials that pass investor scrutiny.

Restaurants and Hospitality

Downtown Boston feeds thousands of office workers daily. High volume, thin margins, tip reporting, inventory tracking. We keep up with the pace and give you numbers you can actually use.

Healthcare Practices

Medical offices, dental practices, therapy providers operating in downtown commercial space. Insurance receivables, revenue timing, and the specific accounting that healthcare businesses require.

Common Questions

Why work with an Andover firm instead of a Downtown Boston accountant?

Bookkeeping happens digitally. Your bookkeeper's zip code matters less than their competence and availability. We offer the same quality work without charging rates that reflect downtown real estate costs. When you need to meet, we're thirty minutes away on 93.

What does monthly bookkeeping cost?

Monthly bookkeeping starts at $199 based on your expense volume. We quote flat rates after learning about your business so you know exactly what you're paying each month.

Can you handle multi-state payroll?

Yes. We have deep experience with multi-state payroll and compliance. If you have remote employees or contractors in different states, we handle the registrations, withholdings, and filings correctly.

Do you work with startups raising funding?

Yes. We help startups get their books investor-ready with clean financials, proper categorization, and documentation that holds up during due diligence.

My books are months behind. Can you help?

That's how most clients find us. We do catch-up work to reconstruct and reconcile your records, then move into monthly service to keep things current going forward.
