We provide bookkeeping and accounting services for small businesses in Chelsea. Monthly financial reporting, payroll, invoicing, bill payment, and catch-up work when the books have fallen behind. The kind of financial support that keeps your business running smoothly without the cost of a full-time hire.

Each one has different financial needs, but they all benefit from having someone who keeps the numbers accurate and up to date.
Monthly Bookkeeping

If your books are months or years behind, we clean up the backlog and bring everything current. This is where most of our client relationships start. Once we get you caught up, we move into monthly service to keep it that way.

Invoicing and Bill Payment
Invoicing and Bill Payment
We handle both sides of the equation. Customer invoices go out and get tracked. Vendor bills get scheduled and paid on time. Your cash flow stays organized and nothing slips through the cracks.
Chelsea Businesses We Work With
Chelsea is one of the more varied neighborhoods in Manhattan when it comes to small business. You have gallery owners managing consignment sales and artist payments a few blocks from restaurant owners managing daily reconciliations and tipped payroll. Creative agencies billing project-based work sit alongside salons handling booth rentals and retail product inventory. The financial picture looks different for each of these, but the underlying need is the same. Accurate books, timely reporting, and someone who actually picks up the phone.
We work with businesses doing anywhere from $50K to a few million in annual revenue. Owners who have outgrown doing it themselves but aren’t ready to bring on a full-time accountant. That’s exactly the gap we fill.
Restaurants and Bars
