Monthly transaction categorization, bank reconciliation, financial statements, and books that are ready when your CPA needs them. Our team works remotely from Andover, which means you get Greater Boston bookkeepers without scheduling office visits or driving anywhere.
Gloucester businesses face unique rhythms. Tourist season brings a rush of activity, then winter slows things down. Whether you run a restaurant on Rogers Street, a retail shop downtown, or a healthcare practice serving local families, we keep your books current through busy months and quiet ones.

Gloucester Businesses We Work With
America’s oldest seaport has always been a working town. The fishing industry built Gloucester, and today the harbor area mixes fishing operations with seafood restaurants, whale watching companies, and maritime businesses. Downtown has retail shops, professional offices, and services that keep the community running year-round.
We work with Gloucester businesses doing roughly $100K to $5M in revenue. Big enough to need real bookkeeping support. Not so big that a full-time accounting department makes sense. If you’ve been handling the books yourself and it’s becoming a problem, we’re set up for exactly that situation.
Restaurants and Seafood
Restaurants and Seafood
Seafood restaurants, cafes, and bars along the waterfront and throughout town. High transaction volume, tip reporting, food cost tracking, and the financial management that tight margins demand.
Tourism and Hospitality
Tourism and Hospitality
Whale watching operations, hotels, bed and breakfasts, tour companies, and seasonal businesses that serve visitors. We track the revenue peaks and help you manage cash flow through the off-season.
Healthcare Practices
Healthcare Practices
Medical offices, dental practices, and therapy providers serving Gloucester and Cape Ann. Insurance receivables, patient billing, and the revenue timing that makes healthcare accounting different from other businesses.
Professional Services
Professional Services
Attorneys, consultants, agencies, and other professional firms. We track profitability, manage expenses, and deliver clean books that show you what you’re actually keeping after everything is paid.
Common Questions
Do you have an office in Gloucester?
No. We're based in Andover and work remotely with all our clients. You get professional bookkeeping without needing to schedule in-person meetings. Most Gloucester business owners prefer it because everything happens online when it's convenient for you.
Can you handle seasonal business fluctuations?
Yes. Many Gloucester businesses see significant swings between tourist season and winter months. We help track seasonal cash flow, manage payroll when staffing changes, and prepare you for the slower periods so there are no surprises.
What does bookkeeping cost for a Gloucester business?
Monthly bookkeeping starts at $199. Your actual price depends 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 restaurants?
Yes. Gloucester has a lot of restaurants and we understand the high transaction volume, tip reporting, and food cost tracking they require. We work with several food service businesses across the North Shore.
How do I get my documents to you?
Through a secure online portal. Upload bank statements, receipts, and invoices whenever works for you. We handle everything from there and reach out if we have questions.
