Monthly Bookkeeping in Boston, Massachusetts

- Thirty days notice and the books are yours
- The same dedicated bookkeeper every month

Research-funded companies are a large part of the local work — biotech, clinical research suppliers, and the consultancies around them. Their books have a job an ordinary monthly close does not do: showing what was spent against which award, in a form the funder will accept.
What our service covers in Boston
Everything below is part of the engagement — no surprise add-ons.
Suspense and uncategorized clearing
Anything we cannot identify is queued for you rather than guessed at, and cleared before the month closes instead of accumulating.
Cash flow snapshot
A short view of what came in, what went out and what is committed, so a tight month is visible before it becomes a problem.
Owner draw tracking
Personal spending that runs through the business is separated as it happens, which keeps the profit figure honest month by month.
Document storage
Receipts and statements filed against the transactions they support, so the evidence is there when a lender or an auditor asks.
Onboarding handover
Roughly a week to connect feeds, build or clean the chart of accounts and agree what belongs in your monthly pack.
What happens after you get in touch
Only the first step needs anything from you.
Tell us where things stand
A 20-minute call covering your transaction volume, how many accounts are in play and how far behind (if at all) things are. You get a flat monthly rate on that call.
We take over the file
Read-only feeds get connected, the chart of accounts is built or cleaned up, and we agree what belongs in your monthly pack. Roughly a week end to end.
It just runs
Transactions are categorized as they arrive, accounts reconcile monthly, and your reports land by the 10th. When something needs a decision, your bookkeeper calls you.
Why Boston businesses choose Feather Accounting
This is a good fit if…
- You want your CPA to stop billing for cleanup first
- You want records your CPA can use without a cleanup first
- You want the same person every month rather than a rotating team
- You would like to stop thinking about the books entirely
Spending against awards
A standard set of accounts groups costs by what they are. A funded organisation also needs them grouped by what they were funded for, and reconciling the two by hand each quarter is where most of the pain lives.
We build the award attribution into how transactions are recorded so both views come from one set of records. Where staff or facilities are shared across awards, the allocation basis is set once and applied consistently rather than re-argued each period.
Professional services firms and healthcare providers make up much of the remaining local work, where the monthly close is the whole requirement and the value is in it actually closing on time.
Questions about this service
Anything we have not covered, ask on the call — it is free and there is no follow-up sequence.
Yes, and it is a large part of the value. Duplicate charges, a subscription you forgot, a customer who has quietly stopped paying — those get raised when we see them, not at year end.
