Bookkeeping for Hanover Small Businesses

Bookkeeping and payroll for Hanover businesses. Serving the county seat and surrounding areas from our Richmond office.

Bookkeeping for Hanover Businesses

Hanover has been a place where business gets done for a long time. Patrick Henry practiced law at the courthouse here before the Revolution. Today the businesses are different but the need for solid financial records hasn’t changed. Whether you’re running a contracting company, a restaurant, or a service business, you need books that tell you where you stand and records that hold up when someone asks questions.

We’re small business bookkeepers based in Richmond, about 20 minutes south on Route 301. We handle monthly bookkeeping, payroll, and catch-up work for businesses across Hanover County. Most of what we do happens remotely, which keeps things efficient for everyone. But we’re close enough to meet when a conversation works better face to face.

Monthly Bookkeeping

Transactions categorized, accounts reconciled, books closed every month. P&L and balance sheet delivered so you actually know how the business is doing without spending your evenings in QuickBooks.

Payroll Services

We run payroll, handle tax deposits, file quarterly reports, and issue W-2s at year end. Your employees get paid on time. You stop tracking deadlines.

Catch-Up Bookkeeping

Books untouched for months? That’s a normal starting point for us. We sort through the backlog, reconstruct what’s missing, and get you current before moving to monthly service.

Tax-Ready Records

Financials organized so your CPA can actually use them. Proper categories, clean documentation, no February scramble trying to find receipts and figure out what happened last year.

Hanover Businesses We Work With

Hanover County has grown substantially over the past few decades. New subdivisions mean new contractors, new restaurants, new service businesses opening to serve residents who used to drive into Richmond for everything. At the same time, established operations have been here for years and need bookkeeping that understands their rhythm.

Our typical client is doing somewhere between $50K and a few million in revenue. Big enough to need real bookkeeping. Not so big that you need a full-time person on staff. If you’ve been handling the books yourself and it’s becoming a problem, or you tried someone who didn’t work out, that’s exactly the situation we’re built for.

Contractors and Trades

Residential and commercial work across Hanover and into Richmond. We handle contractor bookkeeping with job costing that shows which projects actually make money and financials that support bonding and equipment financing.

Restaurants and Food Service

Hanover has more dining options than it used to. We work with restaurants dealing with high transaction volumes, tip reporting, food cost tracking, and the cash flow timing that makes this industry different from others.

Home Services

Landscaping, cleaning, HVAC, plumbing. Businesses making dozens of service calls a week across the county. We track the revenue, handle payroll for crews, and keep the books organized by service type.

Retail and Professional Services

Local shops, salons, professional offices. Businesses serving Hanover residents who want to keep their dollars in the community. We handle the monthly bookkeeping so you can focus on your customers.
