Bookkeeping for North End Boston Small Businesses
Bookkeeping for North End restaurants, bakeries, and small businesses. Monthly financials, payroll, and inventory tracking from a Greater Boston firm.
Bookkeeping for the North End
The North End runs on small businesses. Restaurants that have been serving the same recipes for decades. Bakeries where lines form before the doors open. Cafes tucked into corners of buildings older than most American cities. These businesses need books that stay current and someone who understands the pace of food service.
We’re Greater Boston bookkeepers who handle the financial work for North End businesses that don’t have accounting staff. Monthly bookkeeping, payroll processing, catch-up work when things have fallen behind. You keep the kitchen running. We keep the numbers straight.
Monthly Bookkeeping
Monthly Bookkeeping
Transaction categorization, bank reconciliation, and monthly close. Your books stay current every month so you know where you stand without guessing or waiting for year-end.
Payroll Processing
Payroll Processing
Full payroll service including tip reporting, tax deposits, quarterly filings, and year-end W-2s. Your staff gets paid correctly and on time. You stop worrying about payroll compliance.
Inventory Tracking
Inventory Tracking
Inventory accounting that connects your food costs to your financial statements. Know your actual margins on what you’re selling, not just what you think they should be.
Catch-Up Work
Catch-Up Work
Books a few months or a few years behind? We clean up the backlog and get you current. Restaurants run fast and the books often slip. We fix it and keep it fixed.
North End Businesses We Work With
Most North End business owners we talk to are stretched thin. They’re managing staff, dealing with suppliers, and handling customers while the bookkeeping piles up in a drawer somewhere. Tax season arrives and suddenly they’re scrambling to piece together a year’s worth of transactions.
We work with restaurants and food service businesses throughout the North End, along with the retail shops and professional services that fill out the neighborhood. If your business has outgrown doing the books yourself but can’t justify a full-time hire, that’s the gap we fill.
Restaurants and Trattorias
Restaurants and Trattorias
The North End has more restaurants per block than almost anywhere in Boston. We track food cost percentages, labor costs, tip pools, and daily sales so you can manage margins in a competitive neighborhood.
Bakeries and Cafes
Bakeries and Cafes
Early mornings, high volume, thin margins. We handle the bookkeeping for bakeries and cafes that need to know their numbers without taking time away from production and service.
Retail and Specialty Shops
Retail and Specialty Shops
Wine shops, gift stores, specialty food retailers. Inventory tracking, seasonal cash flow management, and books that stay current through busy tourist seasons and quieter winter months.
Professional Services
Professional Services
Small offices tucked above the storefronts. Consultants, attorneys, real estate professionals. Clean books, proper expense tracking, and financials ready when your CPA needs them.
