Bookkeeping for Washington Heights
We’re a Bronx-based firm that provides bookkeeping, payroll, and accounting support for small businesses in Washington Heights. Our office on Hennessy Place is just across the Harlem River, making us one of the closest professional bookkeeping options available to Heights business owners. Monthly financial tracking, catch-up work, payroll processing, and invoicing handled without the cost of a full-time hire.
Washington Heights has one of the densest small-business communities in Manhattan. Restaurants, salons, barbershops, bodegas, and service companies fill the avenues from 155th Street up to Dyckman. Most are owner-operated, and the owners are doing their own books on top of running the business. Our Bronx bookkeeping team works with these businesses to take the financial work off their plate so they can focus on customers and operations.

Invoicing
We handle customer invoicing and payment tracking so revenue doesn’t slip through the cracks. Invoices go out on schedule, payments get recorded, and you always have a clear picture of what’s outstanding.
Washington Heights Businesses We Work With
The Heights is a neighborhood built on small business. Walk down Broadway or St. Nicholas Avenue and you’ll pass dozens of independently owned restaurants, salons, barbershops, and shops in just a few blocks. Many of these businesses are run by first-generation owners who built something from nothing and are now dealing with the financial complexity that comes with growth.
We work with businesses in that range where the owner can’t keep doing the books alone but isn’t ready to hire an accountant on staff. Typically $50K to a couple million in revenue. Big enough that the numbers matter, small enough that every dollar spent on overhead counts.
Restaurants and Food Businesses
Restaurants and Food Businesses
Dominican restaurants, bakeries, cafes, food trucks, and catering operations throughout the Heights. High transaction volume, tip reporting, inventory tracking, and NYC sales tax all add up. We handle the restaurant bookkeeping that keeps your numbers accurate and your filings on time.
Salons and Barbershops
Salons and Barbershops
The Heights has barbershops and salons on nearly every block. Cash transactions, booth rental arrangements, commission structures, and product inventory all create bookkeeping complexity that doesn’t work well with a spreadsheet. We sort it out and keep it organized month after month.
Cleaning Services
Cleaning Services
Commercial and residential cleaning companies operating out of Washington Heights and serving clients across Manhattan and the boroughs. Crew payroll, 1099 contractor tracking, and recurring contract revenue that needs proper recognition and reporting.
Retail and Service Businesses
Retail and Service Businesses
Bodegas, clothing stores, phone repair shops, and the many other small businesses that make up the fabric of the neighborhood. If you’re running a business in the Heights and need someone to handle the books, we’re right across the river and ready to help.
