Common Questions

Professional Services Bookkeeping FAQ.

Yes. Professional Services is one of our focus areas, and we serve Boston and all of Suffolk County 100% remotely — clean monthly financials and Massachusetts sales- and income-tax-ready records.
Massachusetts generally does not tax professional services (the 6.25% sales tax applies mainly to goods), so most firms don't collect sales tax — but your firm's income flows to the flat 5% tax, with a 4% surtax on income above roughly $1 million, and corporations owe the corporate excise. We keep your revenue and withholding clean. We keep your records ready for every filing.
We're a U.S. bookkeeping firm headquartered in Greenville, South Carolina, serving Boston professional services businesses entirely remotely — a dedicated bookkeeper who knows your industry and Massachusetts's flat income tax and sales-tax rules, without local overhead.
