Bookkeeping for Richmond Small Businesses
Richmond-based bookkeepers for Richmond businesses. We're here, we know the city, and we keep your books current.
This Is Home
Our office is on Summit Ave. We eat at the restaurants we do books for. We drive past the job sites our contractor clients are working on. When we say we’re Richmond bookkeepers, we mean it literally.
The city has a lot of small businesses run by people who are good at what they do and less interested in accounting. That’s who we work with. You focus on the thing you started the business to do. We make sure the financial side doesn’t fall apart.
The Basics, Done Right
The Basics, Done Right
Monthly bookkeeping and payroll. Not complicated. We categorize transactions, reconcile accounts, close the books, and hand you reports that make sense. Every month, on time.
The Cleanup
The Cleanup
Most people call us because they’re behind. Tax deadline approaching, loan application needs financials, or just tired of the anxiety. We fix the backlog, then keep things current so it doesn’t happen again.
Richmond Runs on Small Business
Scott’s Addition used to be warehouses. Now it’s breweries, restaurants, creative agencies, and small manufacturers. Church Hill has coffee shops and boutiques in buildings that were boarded up ten years ago. The Fan and Carytown have kept their mix of restaurants and retail for decades. All of it runs on owners doing the work themselves.
These aren’t businesses with accounting departments. They’re businesses where the owner handles too much and the books slip because there’s always something more urgent. We take that piece off the pile.
Food and Beverage

Common Questions
Where are you located?
Summit Ave in Scott's Addition. We're a Richmond business, not a remote firm that lists Richmond as a service area.
What does bookkeeping cost?
Starts at $199 per month. We quote flat rates based on expense volume, not hourly billing that creeps up.
Do you work with restaurants?
Yes, frequently. Richmond's food scene runs on tight margins. We track the numbers that matter: food cost, labor, tips, daily sales by channel.
Can I stop by your office?
Yes. Most clients work with us remotely because it's easier, but you're welcome to meet in person if you prefer.
How fast can you start?
Usually within a few days. If your books need cleanup first, we handle that before moving to monthly service.
