Bookkeeping for Old Towne Petersburg Businesses

Bookkeeping for Old Towne's growing scene of indie restaurants, breweries, and coffee shops. Tri-Cities bookkeeping that knows the neighborhood.

Bookkeeping for Old Towne

Old Towne is in the middle of something. The historic downtown has been attracting entrepreneurs who want to build something real. Trapezium Brewing. Demolition Coffee. The restaurants and shops around River Street Market. These are businesses run by people who care about what they’re making, not necessarily about what’s happening in QuickBooks.

We provide bookkeeping for Tri-Cities businesses like the ones putting Old Towne back on the map. Monthly books, payroll, catch-up work when things have slipped. Our office is in Richmond, but Petersburg has always been part of the territory. The Appomattox River isn’t that far from the James.

Monthly Bookkeeping

Transactions categorized, accounts reconciled, books closed every month. Financial statements delivered on schedule so you actually know where the business stands.

Catch-Up Bookkeeping

Behind a few months or a few years? We’ve seen it. We work through the backlog, organize what’s there, fill gaps where we can, and deliver books you can work from.

Payroll

Paychecks processed, taxes deposited, quarterly filings handled, W-2s issued at year end. Your staff gets paid on time and you stop tracking withholding deadlines yourself.

Tax-Ready Records

Books organized so your CPA can actually use them. Proper categories, clean documentation, no frantic scramble in February. Tax season stops being an emergency.

Old Towne Businesses We Work With

The businesses revitalizing Old Towne tend to share something in common. The owners are good at what they do and less interested in the accounting side. They opened a brewery because they love brewing. They started a restaurant because they wanted to feed people. The books got started in a shoebox or a half-maintained spreadsheet and grew from there.

That’s who we work with. Businesses past the startup phase but not big enough to justify an accounting department. Owners who need accurate numbers to make decisions but would rather spend their time on the actual work.

Restaurants and Coffee Shops

Old Towne’s food scene is growing and margins stay thin. We track food cost and labor percentage so you know what each month actually produced. Not just revenue, but what you kept.

Breweries and Taprooms

Craft beverage businesses with production costs, taproom sales, distribution revenue, and kegs moving between locations. We separate it all so you can see which parts of the business actually make money.

Retail and Boutiques

Shops around Sycamore Street and the Market area. Inventory tracking, seasonal cash flow, sales tax compliance. Clean books that show margins by product category.

Service Businesses

The professionals and service providers who set up in Old Towne because they like the neighborhood. We track what comes in, what goes out, and what you’re keeping after expenses.

Common Questions

You're based in Richmond. Why would an Old Towne business work with you?

Petersburg is part of the Tri-Cities, which is our core service area. We're 25 minutes away on I-95. Close enough to meet when it matters, but most of the work happens digitally regardless of distance.

What does monthly bookkeeping cost?

Starting at $199 per month depending on expense volume. We quote exact pricing after learning about your business and how much activity flows through the books.

Do you work with restaurants and bars?

Frequently. Restaurants are one of our specialties. We track food cost, labor percentage, tip reporting, and daily sales. The numbers that actually tell you if the month worked.

My books have gotten behind. Can you catch them up?

Yes. Most new clients come to us with a backlog. We sort through the history, get everything current, and then keep it that way going forward.

How does working together actually work?

You give us access to your bank feeds and send receipts through a secure portal. We handle categorization, reconciliation, and monthly close. Communication happens by phone and email. Meet in person when you need to.
