Bookkeeping for Winthrop Small Businesses

Bookkeeping and payroll for Winthrop businesses. Clean books and financial clarity for your coastal town business.

Bookkeeping for Winthrop Businesses

Winthrop is a small town with a lot going on. Local restaurants along Shirley Street, shops serving residents, service businesses that have been around for generations. It’s the kind of place where people know each other and businesses build their reputation through word of mouth. That reputation matters, which is why keeping the financial side of your business in order isn’t something you can ignore.

We’re Merrimack Valley bookkeepers who work with small businesses across Greater Boston, including Winthrop. Monthly bookkeeping, payroll, catch-up work, and the kind of support that helps you understand your numbers instead of just recording them.

Monthly Bookkeeping

Transactions categorized, bank accounts reconciled, books closed every month. You get financial statements that show where your business actually stands without spending your evenings in QuickBooks.

Catch-Up Bookkeeping

If you’re behind, you’re not alone. We clean up months or years of backlog, reconstruct what’s missing, and get your books current. Most Winthrop clients start here before moving to monthly service.

Payroll Processing

We handle managed payroll from start to finish. Wage calculations, tax withholdings, direct deposits, quarterly filings, and year-end W-2s. You approve hours, we do the rest.

Tax-Ready Records

Your books are organized for your CPA well before tax season. Clean records, proper categorization, and documentation that makes year-end straightforward instead of stressful.

Winthrop Businesses We Work With

Winthrop has the feel of a place where businesses serve the community and the community supports its businesses. The restaurants near the beach, the shops in the center, the contractors who work on homes throughout town. These aren’t businesses with accounting departments. They’re businesses where the owner handles everything and the books slip because there’s always something more pressing.

We work with Winthrop businesses doing roughly $50K to $5M in revenue. Big enough to need professional bookkeeping support but not so big that a full-time hire makes sense. If that sounds like you, we’re set up to help.

Restaurants and Food Service

Winthrop’s restaurants and cafés serve locals and visitors who come for the waterfront. High transaction volumes, tip reporting, and tight margins. We track the numbers that tell you whether you’re making money or just moving it.

Retail and Local Shops

The stores along Winthrop’s main streets serving residents and families. Inventory tracking, sales tax, and cash flow management for businesses where every dollar matters.

Home Services and Contractors

Plumbers, electricians, HVAC techs, and general contractors working in Winthrop and surrounding towns. Job costing that shows which projects actually make money and books that hold up when you need financing.

Professional Services

Consultants, real estate professionals, insurance agents, and solo practitioners. If you bill clients and need to track what’s coming in and going out, we keep your books clean so you can focus on your work.

Common Questions

Do you work with businesses in Winthrop?

Yes. We serve businesses throughout Winthrop and the surrounding Greater Boston area. Everything is handled remotely, which works well for busy business owners who don't have time for extra meetings.

What does monthly bookkeeping cost?

Monthly bookkeeping starts at $199. We quote a flat rate based on your transaction volume and complexity after reviewing your books. No hourly billing that creeps up over time.

Do I need to come to your office?

No. We work remotely with all our clients. You send documents through a secure portal, and we handle everything from there. Most clients prefer it because there's nothing to schedule.

My books are a mess. Can you help?

Yes. Most new clients come to us with books that are months or years behind. We do catch-up work to get you current, then keep things organized going forward.

Do you handle payroll?

Yes. We process payroll, handle tax deposits, file quarterly reports, and prepare W-2s at year end. Your employees get paid on time and you stop worrying about compliance deadlines.
