Bookkeeping for Somerville Small Businesses
Bookkeeping and payroll for Somerville's restaurants, creative agencies, and small businesses. Accurate books without adding headcount.
Bookkeeping for Somerville Businesses
Somerville packs a lot of business into a few square miles. Restaurants in Union Square, creative agencies near Davis, startups that outgrew Cambridge rents, and retail scattered throughout the neighborhoods. These are businesses run by people who are too busy operating to spend time on accounting.
We provide ongoing bookkeeping and payroll for Somerville small businesses. Monthly closes, clean financials, and back-office support that keeps your books current without adding headcount. We’re based in Andover but work remotely with clients across Greater Boston.
Monthly Bookkeeping

Transactions categorized, accounts reconciled, books closed every month. Financial statements you can actually use for decisions instead of a shoebox of receipts you’ll deal with later.

Bill payment coordination and invoice tracking so cash keeps moving the right direction. Know who owes you money and when your obligations are due without digging through paperwork.
Somerville Businesses We Work With
The businesses in Somerville tend to be owner-operated. Someone opened a restaurant because they love food, started an agency because they’re good at creative work, or launched a company because they saw an opportunity. Bookkeeping wasn’t the plan. It became a problem when the business grew and the books didn’t keep up.
We work with businesses that have outgrown doing it themselves but aren’t ready to hire a full-time bookkeeper. Our Andover-based payroll and bookkeeping team handles the financial side so you can focus on what you actually started the business to do.

Common Questions
Do you work with restaurants in Somerville?
Yes. Union Square and Davis Square have a lot of restaurant clients for us. We handle tip reporting, food cost tracking, and the high transaction volumes that come with food service businesses.
Where is your office?
We're based in Andover. Everything happens remotely, which works well for Somerville businesses that don't have time for in-person meetings. When we do need to meet, we're about 30 minutes up 93.
What does monthly bookkeeping cost?
It depends on your transaction volume and complexity. We quote flat monthly rates so you know exactly what you're paying. No surprise bills based on hours worked.
Can you help with payroll for a small team?
Yes. We handle full payroll processing including tax deposits, quarterly filings, and year-end W-2s. Works for businesses with a handful of employees up to larger teams.
What if I'm behind on my books?
That's normal. Most business owners we talk to are behind by months or more. We do catch-up work to get you current, then transition to monthly service to keep it that way.
