Bookkeeping for Laurel Small Businesses

Bookkeeping and payroll for Laurel businesses. A Richmond-based firm serving Henrico County's business hub.

Bookkeeping for Henrico's County Seat

Laurel is where Henrico County does its business. The government offices are here, which means a steady flow of county workers and the contractors and vendors who support county operations. We provide bookkeeping from our Richmond office for small businesses throughout Laurel and the surrounding area.

Whether you run a restaurant near the government center, a contracting business that bids on county projects, or a professional services firm that set up shop close to the action, we handle the books so you can focus on the work itself. Most of what we do happens remotely, so you get reliable service without extra trips.

Monthly Bookkeeping

Monthly bookkeeping that keeps your books current. Transactions categorized, accounts reconciled, and financial statements delivered every month. You know where you stand without doing the work yourself.

Catch-Up Bookkeeping

Books that have fallen behind get cleaned up and brought current. Whether it’s three months or two years, we sort through the backlog and give you a fresh starting point before moving to monthly service.

Payroll Services

Paychecks processed, taxes deposited, quarterly filings handled. W-2s at year end. Your employees get paid on time and you stop tracking payroll deadlines.

Sales Tax Filing

Virginia sales tax tracked and filed on schedule. We handle the calculations and submissions so you stay compliant without chasing deadlines yourself.

Laurel Businesses We Work With

The businesses in Laurel reflect its role as Henrico County’s administrative center. There are contractors bidding on county work and maintaining government facilities. Restaurants and cafes that fill up at lunch with county employees. Professional services firms that located here for the central access. And the local shops and service businesses that have been part of the community for years.

We work with established businesses doing roughly $50K to a few million in revenue. Big enough to need proper books but not big enough to justify an accountant on staff. If you’ve been handling it yourself and know it’s slipping, we take that off your plate.

Contractors and Trades

Contractors working on county projects and private jobs throughout Henrico. We track job costs, manage progress billing, and keep financial records ready for bonding requirements and bank relationships.

Restaurants and Food Service

Lunch spots and local restaurants serving the county center crowd. High transaction volume, tight margins, and tip tracking handled properly. We keep the numbers current so you know if the month actually worked.

Professional Services

Consultants, agencies, and professional firms that set up near the county offices for access and visibility. Clean books that show profitability by client and stay ready for tax time or lending conversations.

Local Service Businesses

The shops, salons, and service providers that make up any established community. Inventory tracking, seasonal cash flow management, and books that don’t become an emergency every April.
