Monthly bookkeeping

Bookkeeping and Monthly Close in New York, NY

Reliable bookkeeping in New York with the same dedicated bookkeeper every month and a flat rate quoted up front.

  • Duplicate charges and stale subscriptions raised
  • A short written note on what moved and why
  • Read-only access — we never move money

A very high proportion of the businesses we support here are single-member or project-based — agencies, consultants, media freelancers, small property operations. The recurring problem is not volume. It is several income streams running through accounts that were never separated, and a year of untangling waiting at the end.

What's included

What our service covers in New York

Everything below is part of the engagement — no surprise add-ons.

Owner-friendly reporting

A profit and loss, a balance sheet and a short written note on what moved and why. The note is usually what owners read first.

A/R and A/P management

We track what you owe and are owed, and flag invoices drifting past terms before a cash-flow problem shows up in your balance.

CPA liaison

Your CPA gets what they need directly from us at year end, which is usually faster than routing every question through you.

Quarterly review call

A longer conversation each quarter about what the trend shows, rather than only the month just closed.

Payment processor matching

Stripe, Square and PayPal pay out net of fees. We match payouts to the underlying sales and book the fees separately so revenue is not understated.

How it runs

What happens after you get in touch

Only the first step needs anything from you.

1

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.

2

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.

3

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.

Good fit

This is a good fit if…

  • You are spending evenings on the books instead of the business
  • Transactions have grown past what a spreadsheet can hold
  • You want a predictable monthly cost rather than an hourly bill
  • You use Stripe, Square or PayPal and the payouts confuse the books

Several income streams, one set of records

Someone consulting, teaching and drawing royalties has three businesses in the eyes of the accounts even if it feels like one working life. Recorded as a single stream, the reports cannot tell which activity actually pays.

We separate the streams at entry so each carries its own income and its own costs. It takes a conversation at the start and almost no extra effort afterwards, and it is the difference between a report that guides decisions and one that only supports a filing.

Restaurants, agencies and property businesses make up much of the rest of what we handle, where entity separation is the same issue in a different form.

FAQ

Questions about this service

Anything we have not covered, ask on the call — it is free and there is no follow-up sequence.

We track receivables and payables and flag what is drifting, but we do not send invoices or move money on your behalf. Our access is read-only by design.
