Bookkeeping for East Boston Small Businesses
Bookkeeping and payroll for East Boston businesses. We help restaurants, service companies, and local shops keep their books straight.
Bookkeeping for East Boston
East Boston has always been a neighborhood of small businesses. Family restaurants on Meridian Street. Auto shops and service companies along the side streets. Newer spots opening near the waterfront. The neighborhood is changing in some ways, but the businesses here still run on tight budgets and long hours. They need ongoing bookkeeping that actually works for how they operate.
We provide bookkeeping and payroll services for East Boston businesses from our office in Andover. Everything is handled remotely, which means you’re not scheduling trips across the harbor or waiting on someone’s office hours. Your books get done every month, your payroll runs on time, and you have numbers you can trust.

East Boston Businesses We Work With
The businesses that make East Boston what it is are not the kind with accounting departments. They’re restaurants where the owner is in the kitchen. Service companies where the owner is on the job site. Shops where the owner is behind the counter. The books get pushed aside because there’s always something more urgent happening. That’s where Merrimack Valley bookkeepers like us come in.
We work with East Boston businesses doing anywhere from $100K to several million in revenue. Big enough to need real bookkeeping, but not big enough to hire someone full-time to do it.
Restaurants and Food Service

Common Questions
Where is your office?
We're based in Andover, about 25 minutes north of East Boston. Most of our clients work with us remotely because it's more convenient, but we're close enough to meet when needed.
What does monthly bookkeeping cost?
Monthly bookkeeping starts at $199 and goes up based on transaction volume. We quote flat rates so you know exactly what you're paying each month.
Do you work with restaurants?
Yes. East Boston has a great restaurant scene, and restaurants have specific bookkeeping needs. We handle tip reporting, food cost tracking, and the high transaction volumes that come with food service.
My books are a mess. Can you help?
That's a normal starting point. We do catch-up work to get everything current and organized, then move into monthly service so it stays that way.
Do you handle Massachusetts payroll taxes?
Yes. We manage payroll processing, state and federal tax deposits, quarterly filings, and year-end W-2s. Massachusetts has specific requirements and we make sure everything is filed correctly.
