Bookkeeping for Upper West Side Businesses
Monthly bookkeeping, payroll, and catch-up work for Upper West Side businesses. Professional practices, restaurants, salons, and shops along the avenues.
Bookkeeping for the Upper West Side
The Upper West Side is a residential neighborhood, but the avenues are packed with small businesses. Restaurants on Amsterdam, professional practices above storefronts on Broadway, salons and shops scattered through every block between Central Park and Riverside. Most of these businesses run without dedicated accounting staff. The owner handles the books themselves or they don’t get handled at all.
We’re Bronx-based bookkeepers who work with clients across Manhattan. Monthly bookkeeping, payroll, invoicing, catch-up work. Everything is handled remotely at flat monthly rates. You get accurate financials without hiring someone full-time or losing half a day sitting in an accountant’s office.
Monthly Bookkeeping
Monthly Bookkeeping
Full-service bookkeeping that keeps your records current every month. Transaction categorization, bank and credit card reconciliation, and financial statements delivered on a consistent schedule. No more guessing where you stand.
Catch-Up Work
Catch-Up Work
Most business owners who reach out are already behind. Tax deadline approaching, loan application needs financials, or just tired of the pile growing. We clean up the backlog, get you current, and then keep things moving forward.
Payroll
Payroll
Full-service payroll processing including tax deposits, quarterly filings, W-2s, and 1099 preparation. New York payroll has its own compliance requirements and we stay on top of all of them so you don’t have to.
QuickBooks Setup
QuickBooks Setup
If you need a proper accounting system in place, we configure QuickBooks Online for your business and train you on how to use it. A clean starting point makes everything easier going forward.
Upper West Side Businesses
Columbus, Amsterdam, and Broadway are lined with independent businesses that have kept the neighborhood’s character intact. Locally owned restaurants that have been around for decades, professional offices tucked into brownstones and mixed-use buildings, salons on every other block. The Upper West Side has managed to hold onto its small-business identity in a way that not every Manhattan neighborhood can say.
We work with UWS business owners who need professional bookkeeping but aren’t at the point where a full-time hire makes sense. Whether you’re running a therapy practice, a restaurant, or a retail shop, the need is the same. Accurate books, on time, without adding to your workload.
Restaurants and Cafes
Restaurants and Cafes
The Upper West Side dining scene runs deep. Tip reporting, NYC sales tax, food cost tracking, daily sales reconciliation. We handle restaurant bookkeeping that gives you a clear picture of margins so you know what’s actually working.
Professional Practices
Professional Practices
Therapists, attorneys, consultants, and other professionals with offices on or near the avenues. Client invoicing, expense tracking, and clean financials ready for tax time. Simple books that tell you what you’re keeping after overhead.
Salons and Personal Care
Salons and Personal Care
Hair salons, barbershops, nail salons, and spas. These businesses tend to be cash-heavy with commission or booth-rental pay structures. We track it all properly so the numbers hold up if anyone looks closely.
Retail and Specialty Shops
Retail and Specialty Shops
Boutiques, bookstores, wine shops, specialty food stores. Inventory tracking, sales tax compliance, and monthly reporting that shows you whether the margins are where they need to be. Straightforward books for businesses that sell physical products.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where is your office?
We're on Hennessy Place in the Bronx. We work with Upper West Side clients remotely. Most people prefer it that way since there are no meetings to schedule or offices to visit.
How much does monthly bookkeeping cost?
Starting at $199 per month. We quote flat rates based on your monthly expense volume, so you know exactly what you're paying before we start.
Do you work with therapists and other solo practitioners?
Yes, frequently. The Upper West Side has a lot of independent professionals running small practices. We handle the books so they can focus on clients.
What accounting software do you use?
QuickBooks Online for most clients. We also have experience with Sage Intacct and other platforms. If you already have a system, we can usually work within it.
What if my books are a year or more behind?
We start with catch-up work to get everything current. Once we have clean records, we move to monthly service so things don't fall behind again.
