Bookkeeping Services for Shirley Businesses

Bookkeeping and payroll for Shirley small businesses. Clean financial records, flat monthly rates, and a team based right here in the Merrimack Valley.

Bookkeeping for Shirley Businesses

We’re an Andover-based firm providing bookkeeping services for small businesses in Shirley and throughout the Merrimack Valley. Monthly bookkeeping, payroll, catch-up work for books that have fallen behind. The financial support you need without hiring someone full-time.

Shirley may be a smaller town, but the businesses here face the same challenges as anywhere else. Keeping up with the books while running operations. Staying on top of payroll. Making sure the numbers are ready when tax season arrives. We handle that so you can focus on your customers and your work.

Monthly Bookkeeping

Your books closed every month. Transactions categorized, accounts reconciled, P&L and balance sheet delivered. You know where your business stands without spending your evenings in QuickBooks.

Payroll Services

Full payroll processing including direct deposits, tax withholdings, quarterly filings, and year-end W-2s. Your employees get paid correctly and on time while you stop thinking about payroll deadlines.

Catch-Up Bookkeeping

Books a few months behind? A few years? We clean up the backlog, reconcile everything, and get your records current. Most clients start exactly here before moving to monthly service.

Job Costing

Job costing and project accounting for contractors and trades. Track labor, materials, and overhead by project so you know which jobs actually make money and can bid more accurately.

Shirley Businesses We Work With

Shirley sits along the Route 2 corridor with Devens nearby, which brings a mix of businesses to the area. Local service companies, contractors working projects across the region, and small operations serving the growing residential community. Each one needs accurate financial records to run well.

We work with businesses at the stage where doing the books yourself no longer makes sense but hiring a full-time bookkeeper doesn’t either. That gap is exactly what we fill.

Contractors and Trades

Electricians, plumbers, general contractors, and home improvement businesses. Shirley and the surrounding towns have plenty of work, and we help you track jobs, manage cash flow, and keep the books ready for bonding or lending.

Cleaning and Service Businesses

Cleaning companies, landscapers, and home service providers keeping up with the residential growth in the area. We handle the bookkeeping and payroll so you can focus on your routes and your customers.

Local Retail and Shops

Small retailers and shops serving the Shirley community. We track sales, manage inventory accounting, and handle the transaction volume that comes with running a storefront.

Professional Services

Consultants, independent professionals, and home-based businesses. If you’re running an operation from Shirley and serving clients across the region, we keep your books organized and your finances clear.

Common Questions

Do you work with businesses in Shirley?

Yes. We're based in Andover and work with businesses throughout Shirley and the surrounding Merrimack Valley. Most of our work happens remotely, so your location doesn't limit what we can do for you.

What does monthly bookkeeping cost?

It depends on your transaction volume and complexity. We quote a flat monthly rate after a short conversation about your business so you know exactly what to expect.

My books are a mess. Can you help?

Yes. Many of our clients come to us with books that are months or years behind. We do catch-up work to get you current, then move into regular monthly service to keep it that way.

How do we communicate if everything is remote?

Phone, email, video calls, whatever works for you. You'll have a secure portal for sharing documents. Most clients find remote service more convenient than scheduling office visits.

Do you handle payroll?
