Bookkeeper in Andover, MA
From the old Shawsheen mill buildings to Ballardvale, bookkeeping for Andover's small businesses.
Yes. If your business is in Andover, I can keep its books. I am a bookkeeper named Angel Wallace, certified as an Advanced QuickBooks ProAdvisor, and I work on my own in Atkinson, New Hampshire. Every owner starts with a free consult, then a quote drawn from your real statements.
Local bookkeeping
Your bookkeeper in Andover
When the American Woolen Company built its mill in Frye Village, it renamed the place Shawsheen and rebuilt the whole village around it as a model industrial community. The mills closed in 1953. The buildings did not go to waste: they hold businesses, homes and apartments now, and Dundee Park, another old mill district, is a business park. That is a fair picture of small business in Andover, which often means working out of a building that used to make something else. Offices like those stay busy with client work, and a year of bookkeeping can slide past before anyone looks up. I bring those books current and then keep them that way.
Andover and North Andover were one town until 1855, when the West and South parishes kept the name. Interstate 93 and Interstate 495 cross here, and Route 28 is the main road north and south. The Shawsheen River runs through, and the Merrimack forms half the northern border. Phillips Academy dates to 1778, and the Addison Gallery of American Art on its campus is open to the public. Thanksgiving means the Feaster Five Road Race. Lawrence is to the north, with Tewksbury, Wilmington and North Reading around the south. My desk in Atkinson is about 13 miles to the north.

How local and remote work runs
If your Andover business runs from an office in one of the old mill buildings, you are at a screen already, which makes this easy. You add me as a user in QuickBooks Online, I reconcile and report from Atkinson, and you open the same file whenever you like. Anything that needs talking through gets a phone or video call.

Andover questions
Bookkeeping questions from Andover
Can someone in New Hampshire keep the books for my Andover, Massachusetts business?
Yes. The bookkeeping itself does not change at the border: transactions get categorized, accounts get reconciled and reports get written, in Andover the same as in Atkinson. Massachusetts tax filing is a separate job, and it sits with the tax preparer you choose in your own state. I give that preparer organized, reconciled books to file from.
My Andover business has not touched its books in twelve months. Is that beyond repair?
Not at all. Twelve months is one of the most ordinary places to start from. I go through the year month by month, and each bank and card account is checked against its own statements as I go. By the end, the full year is accurate, not just the most recent stretch of it.
Once the catch-up work is finished, what are my choices?
There are three, and the choice is yours. Take the corrected file and run it yourself from here. Keep it yourself but add QuickBooks Online support, so I can teach you a routine that holds. Or pass the whole thing to me as monthly bookkeeping, which is how an Andover business keeps the file from drifting again.
Will you go over my financial reports with me, or just email them?
I go over them with you. A profit and loss that nobody explains is only a page of numbers, and making sense of it is the whole reason the reporting service exists. I tell you what each figure means for your Andover business, in plain words, and you can ask me anything.
