Bookkeeping Services for Lynn
Lynn businesses don’t need complicated accounting solutions. They need someone who shows up, keeps the books accurate, and doesn’t charge downtown Boston rates. We handle bookkeeping, payroll, and financial cleanup for small businesses across Lynn from our office in Andover, about 25 minutes up Route 128.
Our clients here run the kinds of businesses that keep the city going. Restaurants on Union Street, auto shops off Western Avenue, healthcare practices, and service companies scattered throughout the neighborhoods. They needed bookkeeping that works without becoming another headache.

Lynn Businesses We Work With
Lynn has always been a working city. The shoe factories are gone, but the work ethic stuck around. Today it shows up in the restaurants, auto shops, medical offices, and service businesses owned by people who put in long hours. Most of them didn’t start a business to do accounting. They started because they’re good at something else.
We work with Lynn businesses doing roughly $100K to a few million in annual revenue. Big enough that a shoebox of receipts doesn’t cut it anymore. Not so big that you need a full accounting department. If you’ve reached the point where the books are slipping because there’s always something more urgent, that’s exactly the gap we fill as your Andover, MA payroll service and bookkeeping partner.
Restaurants and Food Service
Restaurants and Food Service
Lynn’s food scene is diverse and growing. Latin American spots, pizza shops, cafes, and takeout joints running on thin margins. We track food costs, handle tip reporting, and keep the numbers current so you know what’s actually profitable.
Auto Shops and Services
Auto Shops and Services
Repair shops, body shops, and service centers throughout Lynn. We separate parts from labor revenue, track job costs, and maintain records that show which work brings in real profit.
Healthcare Practices
Healthcare Practices
Medical offices, dental practices, therapy providers, and community health clinics. Insurance reimbursements complicate the books. We reconcile what you billed against what you collected so your records reflect reality.
Service Businesses
Service Businesses
Cleaning companies, contractors, landscapers, and other service providers. You’re busy running jobs and managing crews. We handle the financial tracking so you can focus on the work that pays.
Common Questions
You're based in Andover. Why would a Lynn business work with you?
Andover is about 25 minutes from Lynn. We're genuinely local, not a remote firm listing Massachusetts as a service area. Most bookkeeping work happens digitally regardless of distance, but we're close enough to meet when it matters.
What does monthly bookkeeping cost?
Starting at $199 per month. 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 handle Massachusetts payroll taxes?
Yes. Payroll processing, state and federal tax deposits, quarterly filings, and year-end W-2s. We handle the Massachusetts-specific requirements so you stay compliant.
Can we meet in person?
Yes. Most clients prefer working remotely because it's more convenient, but we're happy to meet in person. Andover isn't far, and we can come to you when needed.
My books are a mess. Can you fix that?
Yes. We do catch-up work regularly. Whether you're a few months or a couple years behind, we clean things up and get you current before starting monthly service.
