Bookkeeper in Dracut, MA

No. Pelham, New Hampshire already sits on Dracut's northern edge, so the state line is nothing new here. Books are kept the same way in both states. What changes is the tax return, which is work for a Massachusetts tax preparer of your choosing. My job is to give that person accurate, reconciled books so the filing goes easily.

They are quoted separately, because they are different kinds of work. Catching up is a single project, and what drives the quote is how many months are missing and how many accounts have to be repaired. Ongoing monthly work for a Dracut shop is quoted on its normal month, meaning the volume of transactions I would be handling.

On paper, often yes. Counted in hours, usually no. My bookkeeping cost page has a calculator that sets your own time beside market rates, so you can judge what an evening is worth to you. There is a middle road as well: you keep entering the transactions, and QuickBooks Online support from me makes that go quicker.

That depends on what you are after. A large national company assigns you a team and a support queue. With me you get one person. I work a short drive from Dracut, I answer your questions myself and I explain each report in everyday language. Some owners want the team. Many would rather know exactly who has their books.
