Bookkeeping built for
Boston businesses.

We're a US-based remote team that specializes in serving Massachusetts businesses. Every team member is in the US, and your dedicated bookkeeper is available during Eastern business hours. We've handled bookkeeping for Boston-area companies across biotech, tech, healthcare, real estate, restaurants, and professional services — we know the Massachusetts-specific quirks national firms miss. If meeting in person matters to you, we can also arrange that.

Yes — every year, included with your engagement. We file your MA corporate excise (the $456 minimum + 8% on net income + the property/net worth measure), navigate MA PFML compliance for both employer and employee portions, and handle the annual reporting that catches out-of-state firms off-guard. We file everything through MassTaxConnect on schedule.

Yes. R&D tax credit qualification documentation, federal and Massachusetts R&D credit filings, grant revenue recognition (NIH, SBIR, private foundations), milestone-based revenue accounting, multi-entity rollups for clinical-stage subsidiaries, and the qualified small business stock (QSBS) tracking that matters for founders. We've worked with Kendall Square and Seaport-area biotechs at every stage.

Massachusetts sales tax is a flat 6.25% statewide — there are no local sales tax add-ons, which is unusual. Meals tax is also 6.25%, but cities and towns can opt in to a local 0.75% meals option, taking certain restaurants to 7%. We file everything through MassTaxConnect on the correct schedule (monthly, quarterly, or annual depending on volume). If you ship interstate, multi-state economic nexus is also handled.

Not at all. A lot of established Boston-area service businesses, real estate operators, and family-owned shops still run QBD because it works. We work in it daily. We'll only recommend migrating to QuickBooks Online if it would genuinely serve you better (multi-user remote access, better integrations, etc.) — and if so, we handle the entire migration. No pressure either way.

Yes — small businesses are a big part of who we serve. Whether you're a solo founder finally getting your books in order, an owner-operator running a small shop, or a 1–10 employee business that's outgrown DIY QuickBooks, we're built for you. You get the same dedicated team, the same Portal, the same three-tier monthly close as our largest clients — scoped to where you actually are today. As you grow, we scale with you; we don't push you onto a different tier or hand you off mid-relationship.

Live in 14 days for most Boston clients from the day you sign on. Onboarding takes about a week (connecting to your software, building your Portal, getting your team up to speed on your business). Catch-up work — if you need 6 or 12 months brought current — runs in parallel and finishes within 30–45 days for most cases. If you need it faster because of a lender, audit, or MA Department of Revenue deadline, tell us during the demo; we can usually accommodate.
