Bookkeeping for Astoria Small Businesses
Monthly bookkeeping for Astoria restaurants, cafes, salons, and service businesses. Accurate books at a flat monthly rate.
What We Handle
We work with Astoria businesses that need dependable bookkeeping without hiring someone in-house. Monthly closes, bank reconciliations, payroll, and the cleanup work that piles up when the books have been put off too long. Everything handled remotely from our office in the Bronx, which means no commute for either of us and no delays waiting on office hours.
Astoria is full of owner-operated businesses where the person running the company is also the one trying to reconcile bank statements at midnight. That’s not a long-term plan. We take over the full-service bookkeeping so you can get that time back and actually trust the numbers in front of you.
Monthly Bookkeeping
Monthly Bookkeeping
Transaction categorization, bank and credit card reconciliation, and a clean monthly close. You get a P&L and balance sheet every period that reflect what actually happened in your business. No guessing.
Catch-Up Bookkeeping
Catch-Up Bookkeeping
If you’re behind by months or years, we start here. We organize the mess, fix errors, and bring everything current. Once we’re caught up, we move into monthly service so the backlog doesn’t build again.
Payroll
Payroll
We run payroll, handle tax deposits and quarterly filings, and produce W-2s at year end. For restaurants and salons with tipped employees, we manage the reporting that New York requires. Your team gets paid correctly and on time.
Invoicing and Bill Payment
Invoicing and Bill Payment
We handle accounts receivable and accounts payable so nothing falls through the cracks. Customer invoices go out on schedule, vendor bills get tracked and paid, and you have a clear picture of what’s owed and what’s coming in.
Astoria's Business Community
Walk down Broadway or Steinway Street and you’ll pass dozens of restaurants, cafes, and shops within a few blocks. Astoria has always had that density. The Greek tavernas that defined the neighborhood decades ago are still here, and they’ve been joined by Colombian, Egyptian, Bangladeshi, and Filipino businesses that have made the area one of the most diverse commercial corridors in Queens.
Many of these are immigrant-owned businesses built from scratch by people who know their trade inside and out but didn’t start a company to do accounting. That’s something we understand well. Our bronx bookkeeping practice was built to serve exactly this kind of business owner, someone focused on the work who needs financial help they can count on.
Restaurants and Cafes
Restaurants and Cafes
Astoria’s food scene is one of its defining features. From sit-down restaurants to quick-service spots and coffee shops, the margins are tight and the transaction volume is high. We provide restaurant and bar bookkeeping that tracks food costs, daily sales, tip reporting, and vendor payments so you always know where you stand.
Salons and Barbershops
Salons and Barbershops
Hair salons, barbershops, nail salons, and beauty studios are everywhere in Astoria. Many operate with booth rentals or commission structures that require careful tracking. We handle the bookkeeping and payroll so the numbers are clean for tax time and you’re not guessing at profitability.
Creative and Professional Services
Creative and Professional Services
Astoria has attracted a growing number of freelancers, design studios, and media professionals. If you’re billing clients and losing track of expenses, or if you’ve never had a bookkeeper and your records are scattered across apps and spreadsheets, we get it organized and keep it that way.
Retail and Local Services
Retail and Local Services
Shops, dry cleaners, repair businesses, and other neighborhood services that keep Astoria running day to day. We track inventory, manage cash flow, and keep the books ready for tax season so you’re not scrambling every spring to piece things together.
