Bookkeeping for The Fan Small Businesses

Bookkeeping and payroll for restaurants, cafes, and boutiques in The Fan. A Richmond firm that knows the neighborhood.

Bookkeeping for The Fan

The Fan runs on small businesses. Restaurants along Robinson and Cary. Cafes in the storefronts of those Victorian row houses. Boutiques that have been there for years alongside new spots that just opened. These are high-traffic, high-transaction businesses that need bookkeeping services in Richmond set up for their pace.

We work with Fan businesses that need reliable bookkeeping without hiring someone full-time. Monthly books, payroll, catch-up work when things have fallen behind. You run the restaurant or the shop. We keep the numbers straight.

Monthly Bookkeeping

Transactions categorized, accounts reconciled, reports delivered every month. Your books stay current so you can see where the business actually stands instead of guessing.

Payroll

Paychecks processed, taxes deposited, filings handled. Your staff gets paid correctly and on time. Virginia withholding and year-end W-2s included.

Catch-Up Bookkeeping

Books a few months behind? Longer than that? We sort through the backlog, clean it up, and get you to a place where monthly service can take over.

Inventory Tracking

For restaurants tracking food costs or boutiques managing product inventory. We set up inventory management that shows you what you’re spending and what you’re selling.

The Fan Businesses We Work With

Most Fan business owners started doing their own books because it seemed manageable at first. Then the transactions piled up. Tax time became stressful. Financial decisions got made without solid numbers to back them up. That’s usually when we hear from people.

We work with restaurants, cafes, retail shops, salons, and service businesses. Operations doing $50K to a few million in revenue. Big enough that the books matter, not so big that you need a full accounting department.

Restaurants and Cafes

The Fan has some of the best restaurants in Richmond. We handle daily sales reconciliation, food cost tracking, tip reporting, and the payroll complexity that comes with tipped employees.

Boutiques and Retail

Local shops along Cary and in the neighborhood storefronts. Inventory tracking, sales tax, and books that show you which products are actually making money.

Salons and Personal Services

Hair salons, spas, fitness studios. We handle booth rental accounting, membership revenue, and the worker classification questions that come up in these businesses.

Professional Services

Consultants, designers, and small firms working out of Fan offices or home spaces. Clean books, proper expense tracking, and records ready for tax time.
