Your bookkeeper in Salem
Salem is the first New Hampshire stop on Interstate 93 heading north, and it has grown into a commercial hub for the whole region, anchored by the Mall at Rockingham Park and Tuscan Village. Tuscan Village is rising on the old Rockingham Park race track with shops, medical offices and apartments. Around that kind of growth there is always a second economy of cleaners, groomers, landscapers and contractors who keep it all running. Those owners are exactly who I built Business Untangled for, and their books deserve the same care as the big names on Route 28.
Salem started out as the North Parish of Methuen before the state line moved, and the old parish meetinghouse now houses the Salem Historical Society. Canobie Lake Park began as a trolley-line resort and still draws crowds, and America's Stonehenge sits out past the edge of town. The Spicket River and Policy Brook drain the town toward the Merrimack. Salem shares a border with Atkinson, so I am a short drive west of Route 28 and an even shorter login away.

Salem questions
Bookkeeping questions from Salem
Do you keep books for Salem, NH businesses?
Yes. Salem borders Atkinson, where Business Untangled is based, so a Salem business is a short drive from my desk. The bookkeeping itself runs online in QuickBooks Online, so a Salem business gets a local bookkeeper without a single extra trip.
A lender asked for financial statements. Can you help?
Yes. Lenders and landlords want a profit and loss and a balance sheet built from reconciled books. If the books are current, I prepare the reports and walk you through them. If they are behind, a cleanup comes first, so the statements you hand over are ones you can defend.
I pay helpers. What changed for 1099 forms in 2026?
The federal 1099-NEC threshold rose, so fewer small payments trigger a form. The line is now $2,000 per payee for payments made on or after January 1, 2026 (it was $600). I track what you pay each helper through the year, so your preparer knows who needs a form in January.

How much does a bookkeeper cost for a Salem business?
It depends on how many transactions you have each month, how many bank and card accounts need reconciling and whether a cleanup comes first. Rather than guess, I quote after a free look at your statements. My bookkeeping cost page shows the published market range for context.
