We provide small business bookkeeping services for North Salem businesses from our office in Andover. Monthly transaction categorization, bank reconciliation, financial statements, and books ready for your CPA. The financial back office you need without adding a full-time employee.
North Salem sits in a city with real economic activity. Between the historic downtown, the waterfront, and the neighborhoods that make up greater Salem, there are hundreds of small businesses that need accurate books but don’t need a large accounting firm. That’s who we work with.

North Salem Businesses We Serve
Salem has a mix of businesses that reflects its position on the North Shore. Tourism draws visitors year-round, but there’s also a strong local economy of professional offices, healthcare providers, and service businesses that have nothing to do with witch trials or Halloween. North Salem leans residential, which means the businesses here often serve the people who live here.
We work with established small businesses doing anywhere from $100K to several million in revenue. Big enough to need real bookkeeping support. Small enough that hiring a full-time bookkeeper or controller doesn’t make sense yet.
Professional Services
Professional Services
Consultants, agencies, and professional firms throughout Salem. We track profitability, manage cash flow, and keep books clean for tax time or whenever you need financials for a client or lender.
Healthcare Practices
Healthcare Practices
Medical offices, dental practices, therapy providers, and specialty care. We handle the timing gap between services rendered and payments collected so your books reflect what’s actually happening.
Restaurants and Hospitality
Restaurants and Hospitality
Salem’s food scene brings both locals and visitors. High transaction volume, tip reporting, and food cost tracking require bookkeeping that stays current. We handle the details monthly so margins stay visible.
Real Estate and Property Management
Real Estate and Property Management
Landlords, property managers, and real estate professionals managing properties across Salem and the North Shore. We track rental income, expenses by property, and keep records ready for tax reporting.
Common Questions
Where is your office located?
We're based in Andover, about 20 minutes from Salem. Close enough to meet when it makes sense, though most of our work happens remotely through secure document sharing and regular communication.
What does monthly bookkeeping cost?
Monthly bookkeeping starts at $199 depending on transaction volume and complexity. We provide a flat monthly rate after reviewing your business so you know exactly what to expect.
Can you help if my books are months behind?
Yes. We handle catch-up work regularly. We get your books current first, then transition to ongoing monthly service to keep them that way.
Do you work with businesses that have seasonal fluctuations?
Yes. Salem's tourism cycle affects many local businesses. We structure bookkeeping to account for busy and slow periods rather than assuming every month looks the same.
How do we share documents?
Through a secure client portal. You upload bank statements, receipts, and invoices when convenient. We handle the categorization and reconciliation from there.
