Bookkeeping for Saugus Small Businesses

Monthly bookkeeping, payroll, and advisory services for Saugus businesses. Serving Route 1 retailers, auto dealers, restaurants, and service companies.

Bookkeeping for Saugus Businesses

Saugus runs on Route 1. Auto dealerships, restaurants, retail stores, and service businesses line the corridor from Lynn to the Lynnfield border. Behind the commercial strip are neighborhoods full of contractors, home service companies, and professionals running businesses out of offices around town. All of them need books that stay current without taking time away from actual work.

We’re based in Andover, about 20 minutes up Route 1. That puts us close enough to meet when face-to-face helps, but most clients prefer working remotely because it’s faster. We handle ongoing bookkeeping, payroll, and catch-up work for businesses that have let things slide while focusing on operations.

Monthly Bookkeeping

Transactions categorized, accounts reconciled, books closed every month. Financial statements that show you where you stand. No more guessing or waiting until tax time to see the numbers.

Catch-Up Bookkeeping

Behind a few months or a few years? We reconstruct records, fix errors, and get everything current. Most of our clients started exactly there before moving to regular monthly service.

Payroll Processing

Paychecks, withholdings, tax deposits, and filings handled completely. Massachusetts payroll has its quirks. We take care of all of it so you can focus on running your business.

Financial Advisory

Beyond basic bookkeeping when you need it. Cash flow forecasting, budget development, and strategic guidance for business decisions. Fractional CFO support without the full-time cost.

Saugus Businesses We Work With

The Route 1 corridor draws people from across the North Shore for shopping and services. That traffic supports a lot of businesses that need accurate books to track what they’re actually making. Off the main strip, Saugus has home service companies, contractors, healthcare providers, and professional offices serving local residents and surrounding communities.

We work with businesses that have grown past the point where the owner can manage the books in spare time. If you need someone reliable who understands small business accounting, our Andover, MA advisory services team is here to help.

Automotive Businesses

Dealerships, repair shops, body shops, and tire centers along Route 1. Automotive bookkeeping with inventory tracking, parts accounting, and job costing that shows profit by service ticket.

Restaurants and Retail

The Route 1 corridor has restaurants and shops that depend on accurate daily tracking. Sales reconciliation, inventory management, tip reporting, and cash flow monitoring for businesses with thin margins.

Contractors and Trades

HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general contractors serving Saugus and surrounding towns. Job costing to track profit by project. Books that hold up when you need financing or bonding.

Service Businesses

Salons, fitness studios, cleaning companies, and professional offices throughout town. Subscription tracking, payroll for employees and contractors, and monthly financials that show what you’re keeping.

Common Questions

How far is your office from Saugus?

We're in Andover, about 20 minutes north on Route 1. Close enough to meet when it's helpful, but most clients prefer working remotely since it saves everyone time.

What does bookkeeping cost?

Pricing depends on your transaction volume and complexity. We quote flat monthly rates upfront so you know exactly what to expect. No hourly billing surprises.

Do you work with auto dealerships and repair shops?

Yes. Route 1 has a lot of automotive businesses. We handle inventory tracking, parts accounting, and the specific bookkeeping needs of dealerships and service centers.

My books haven't been touched in months. Can you help?

That's a normal starting point. We do catch-up work to get everything current and reconciled, then move into monthly service so the backlog doesn't build up again.

Do you handle payroll?

Yes. Full payroll processing including direct deposits, tax withholdings, quarterly filings, and year-end W-2s. You approve hours and we take care of the rest.
