Bookkeeping for Long Island City Businesses
Bookkeeping and payroll for Long Island City businesses. Monthly financials, catch-up work, and payroll from a Bronx-based firm serving all five boroughs.
Bookkeeping Services for Long Island City
Long Island City has changed faster than almost any neighborhood in New York. What was mostly industrial waterfront a decade ago is now full of office towers, restaurants, and growing businesses. That growth means a lot of business owners who are focused on operations and letting the financial side fall behind. We provide full-service bookkeeping, payroll, and catch-up work for LIC businesses that need their books handled without hiring someone in-house.
We’re a Bronx-based firm that works remotely with clients across all five boroughs. For LIC business owners, that means you get consistent monthly bookkeeping from a team that knows New York City accounting without paying for a waterfront office you’ll never visit.

Transactions categorized, bank and credit card accounts reconciled, and financial statements delivered every month. Your books stay current so you always know where the business stands.
Catch-Up Bookkeeping
Catch-Up Bookkeeping
Books that haven’t been touched in months or years? We sort through the backlog, rebuild what’s missing, and get everything current. Most of our clients started exactly this way.
Payroll

Pay runs processed with federal, state, and NYC tax withholding calculated correctly. Quarterly filings and year-end W-2s handled. Your employees get paid on schedule and you stop worrying about payroll compliance.
Invoicing and Bill Payment
Invoicing and Bill Payment
Customer invoices sent and tracked. Vendor bills scheduled and recorded. Nothing slips through the cracks because you were too busy to follow up on a payment or forgot a due date.
LIC Businesses We Work With
The business mix in Long Island City reflects its transition. There are restaurants packed along Vernon Boulevard, professional services firms filling office space near Court Square, logistics operations still running near the waterfront, and cleaning and building service companies keeping all the new development maintained. Each type of business has different accounting needs, but they all need someone keeping the numbers accurate and current. That is what our Bronx bookkeeping team does.
We work with LIC businesses at all stages. Some are newly opened and need bookkeeping set up properly from the start. Others have been running for years and finally need to get the financial side organized. We handle both.
Restaurants and Bars
Restaurants and Bars
LIC has one of the most active restaurant and bar scenes in Queens. Vernon Boulevard alone has dozens of spots. We handle daily sales reconciliation, tip reporting, NYC sales tax filings, and food cost tracking so owners can focus on running the kitchen instead of reconciling the register.
Professional Services
Professional Services
Consultants, agencies, architects, and small firms that have set up around Court Square and Jackson Avenue. We track revenue, manage accounts receivable, and deliver monthly financials that give you a clear picture of profitability.
Freight and Logistics
Freight and Logistics
LIC still has active warehouse and distribution operations along the waterfront, and the broader Queens logistics network connects to Hunts Point and JFK. We handle the bookkeeping for companies moving goods through the city, from cost tracking to fleet expenses to 1099s for independent drivers.
Building and Cleaning Services
Building and Cleaning Services
Thousands of new residential units and commercial spaces need upkeep. Cleaning crews, maintenance teams, and property managers are all busy in LIC. We manage the books for service companies that keep these buildings running, including payroll for crews and tracking recurring contract revenue.
Frequently Asked Questions
You're based in the Bronx. Why would an LIC business work with you?
Bookkeeping is digital work. Where we sit doesn't change the quality of your financials. We handle everything remotely through secure portals and bank feeds. If you ever want to meet, we're a short trip away. But most LIC clients prefer the convenience of not scheduling anything.
What does monthly bookkeeping cost?
Starting at $199 per month depending on your expense volume. We give you a flat monthly rate after learning about your business so there are no surprises.
My books haven't been touched in months. Can you fix that?
Yes. We do catch-up work all the time. We reconstruct what's missing, clean up the backlog, and get you current before moving to monthly service.
Do you handle New York City payroll taxes?
Yes. Federal, state, and NYC withholding, tax deposits, quarterly filings, and year-end W-2s. We handle the full payroll cycle so you don't have to track the deadlines yourself.
Can you work with my CPA at tax time?
Absolutely. We keep your books clean throughout the year so your CPA gets organized financials when they need them. Tax season becomes a simple handoff instead of a scramble.
