Bookkeeping for Melrose Small Businesses
Bookkeeping and payroll for Melrose businesses. A Bronx-based firm serving the Third Avenue corridor and the South Bronx.
Bookkeeping for Melrose Businesses
Melrose sits along one of the busiest commercial stretches in the South Bronx. Third Avenue from 149th Street through the upper 150s and 160s is packed with small businesses. Restaurants, bodegas, barbershops, cleaning companies, phone repair shops, and service businesses of every kind. The foot traffic is constant, the subway and bus connections keep customers moving through, and the owners running these businesses are working long hours to keep it all going. What often falls behind is the financial side.
M&H Accounting Services is based right here in the Bronx. We provide small business bookkeeping in the Bronx for owners who need their records handled properly without the cost of a full-time hire. Monthly bookkeeping, payroll, catch-up work for books that have fallen behind. We know the neighborhood, we understand what it takes to run a business here, and we handle the numbers so you can stay focused on your customers.

Melrose Businesses We Work With
Third Avenue is the commercial backbone of Melrose, but there are businesses on the side streets too. What they share is that most are owner-operated, many are immigrant-owned, and nearly all of them could benefit from having a bookkeeper who understands their situation. The businesses along this corridor deal with high transaction volumes, cash payments, sales tax obligations, and payroll for small teams. That adds up to real accounting work that a shoebox of receipts cannot handle.
We work with Melrose businesses that are doing enough revenue to need full-service bookkeeping but not enough to hire an accountant on staff. That’s where we help the most. Whether you’re on Third Avenue or a few blocks off it, the work is the same and we’re right here in the borough.
Restaurants and Food Businesses
Restaurants and Food Businesses
Melrose has no shortage of places to eat. Sit-down restaurants, takeout spots, bakeries, and food trucks. We handle daily sales reconciliation, tip reporting, inventory tracking, and NYC sales tax filings. If your restaurant’s books need attention, we’re set up for that work.
Salons and Barbershops
Salons and Barbershops
The neighborhood is full of hair salons, barbershops, and nail salons. Many deal with booth rental arrangements, cash transactions, and product inventory that all need to be tracked properly. We keep the books straight so you know what you’re actually earning.
Cleaning Services
Cleaning Services
Cleaning companies are common throughout the South Bronx, handling both residential and commercial work across the city. We track contract revenue, manage payroll for crews, and handle 1099 filings for subcontractors at year end.
Retail and Other Services
Retail and Other Services
Storefronts, phone repair shops, laundromats, auto parts stores, and every other kind of small business that makes Third Avenue what it is. Whatever you sell or service, we handle the bookkeeping so you can focus on the people walking through your door.
