Common Questions
You're based in Andover. Why would a Somerville business work with you?
Most bookkeeping happens digitally. We work remotely with clients across Greater Boston, and Andover is close enough for in-person meetings when they matter. You get experienced support without paying for Cambridge or Boston overhead.
What does monthly bookkeeping cost?
It depends on transaction volume and complexity. We provide a flat monthly quote after learning about your business so you know exactly what to expect.
Can we meet in person if needed?
Yes. Andover is about 30 minutes from Somerville. Most clients prefer working remotely since it's more convenient, but we're available to meet when it makes sense.
Do you handle Massachusetts payroll requirements?
Yes. Payroll processing, state and federal tax deposits, quarterly filings, year-end W-2s, and Massachusetts-specific compliance. All handled.
My books are a mess. Where do we start?
With catch-up work. We reconstruct and reconcile your records to get current, then move into regular monthly bookkeeping. Most clients come to us this way.
