Bookkeeping for Chester Small Businesses

Bookkeeping and payroll for Chester businesses. Richmond-based firm, flat monthly rates, and books that stay current.

Bookkeeping for Chester Businesses

Chester has over 1,100 business establishments. Restaurants along Route 10, service companies working the neighborhoods, shops and offices near Brightpoint Community College. A lot of those businesses need bookkeeping but don’t have the volume to justify hiring someone full-time. That’s where we come in.

We’re a Richmond-based firm that works with small businesses across Chester and the surrounding area. As your Tri-Cities bookkeeper, we handle the monthly books, payroll, and catch-up work that keeps your finances in order without taking over your schedule.

Monthly Bookkeeping

Transactions categorized, accounts reconciled, financial statements delivered. Your books stay closed every month instead of falling behind until tax season forces you to deal with them.

Payroll

Payroll processing with tax deposits, quarterly filings, and year-end W-2s. Your employees get paid on time and you stop worrying about whether withholdings are correct.

Catch-Up Bookkeeping

Behind a few months or a few years? We’ve seen it all. We clean up the backlog, organize what’s there, and get you current before moving to regular monthly service.

Tax-Ready Records

When your CPA asks for financials, they’re ready. Clean books, proper categories, documentation in place. Tax season becomes a handoff instead of a scramble.

Chester Businesses We Work With

Chester is a working community. Families living here, businesses serving them. The strip centers along Route 1 and Route 10, the neighborhoods stretching back from the main roads, the commercial areas near the interstate. Each business is different, but they share a common need for accurate books and someone who actually picks up the phone.

We work with Chester businesses doing anywhere from $50K to a few million in revenue. Big enough to need real bookkeeping, not so big that a full-time hire makes sense. That’s the gap we fill.

Restaurants and Retail

Food spots, coffee shops, stores serving the local community and Brightpoint students. We handle the daily transaction volume, sales tax tracking, and tight-margin accounting that retail and food businesses deal with.

Service Businesses

Salons, fitness studios, professional services, consultants. If you’re running appointments and billing clients, we keep the books straight so you can focus on the work that pays.

Contractors and Trades

HVAC, plumbing, electrical, general contractors. Chester and Chesterfield County have plenty of construction and renovation work. We track jobs, manage cash flow, and keep records ready for bonding or lending.

Home Services

Lawn care, cleaning, pest control, handyman services. Lots of homes in Chester means lots of businesses maintaining them. We handle the books while you handle the routes.
