Malden Businesses We Work With

Malden has economic activity that reflects its position in Greater Boston. The Orange Line brings foot traffic. The diverse population supports restaurants and food service businesses representing different cuisines. Healthcare providers, professional service firms, and retailers fill out the commercial landscape. Real businesses generating real revenue that needs proper tracking.

We work with established businesses that have been operating for years and newer ventures still finding their footing. The common thread is needing accurate books without the overhead of hiring someone full-time to maintain them.

Restaurants and Food Service

Malden’s dining scene includes a range of cuisines and concepts. High transaction volume, employee payroll, food cost management, and sales tax compliance. We track all of it so you know which weeks and which menu items actually make money.

Healthcare Practices

Medical offices, dental practices, therapy providers, and specialty care. We manage the timing gap between providing services and collecting insurance reimbursement, plus the patient billing that makes healthcare accounting different from other industries.

Professional Services

Consultants, attorneys, marketing firms, and agencies. Service businesses that bill by project or retainer and need clean books that show profitability by client or engagement.

Retail and E-Commerce

Shops on Main Street and online sellers shipping from Malden. Inventory tracking, cost of goods sold, multi-channel sales reconciliation, and sales tax compliance across jurisdictions.

Common Questions

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

Bookkeeping is digital work. We're about 25 minutes apart, but most communication happens through screens regardless. We're close enough to meet when it matters, and available by phone and email the rest of the time.

What does monthly bookkeeping cost?

Starting at $199 per month based on transaction volume. We quote a flat rate after reviewing your business so you know exactly what to expect.

Do I need to come to Andover for meetings?

Not required. We handle everything remotely. If you prefer face-to-face, we can arrange to meet, but most clients find remote works better for their schedule.

How quickly can you get started?

Usually within a week. If your books are behind, we start with cleanup work to get you current. If they're already in reasonable shape, we move straight to monthly service.

My books are a disaster. Can you help?

Yes. Catch-up work is common. Most business owners we work with started behind. We sort through the backlog, get things current, and then keep them that way going forward.
