Bookkeeping for Gardner Small Businesses
Bookkeeping and tax services for Gardner businesses. A Fitchburg-based CPA serving the Chair City and the Montachusett region.
Gardner Bookkeeping Services
We’re a Fitchburg-based firm that provides bookkeeping and tax services for small businesses in Gardner and across the Montachusett region. Monthly bookkeeping, payroll, catch-up work for books that have fallen behind, and personal tax returns handled by a CPA and Enrolled Agent. The financial work you need done right without hiring someone full-time.
Gardner has always been a working town. The chair factories are mostly gone, but the city still runs on people who do the work themselves. Contractors, restaurant owners, salon operators, home service providers. These are businesses where the owner handles everything, and the books tend to slip because something more urgent always comes up. That’s where we come in.

Gardner Businesses We Work With
Gardner is a city of about 21,000 people with a compact base of local businesses serving the community. Restaurants along Main Street. Salons and barbershops. Contractors and tradespeople working on homes across the area. Cleaning companies and home service providers. These are the kinds of businesses we specialize in.
We work with Gardner businesses doing anywhere from $50K to a few million in revenue. Big enough that a shoebox of receipts doesn’t cut it anymore. Not so big that you need a full accounting department. If you’ve outgrown doing it yourself but can’t justify a full-time bookkeeper, that’s the gap we fill.

Common Questions
Where is your office?
We're on Fifth Mass Turnpike in Fitchburg, about ten minutes from downtown Gardner. We work with most clients remotely because it's easier for everyone, but we're close enough to meet when it makes sense.
What does bookkeeping cost?
Monthly bookkeeping starts at $199. Your price depends on your average monthly spend and how complex your books are. We quote a flat rate upfront so you know exactly what to expect.
Can you help with taxes too?
Yes. Simona is a CPA and Enrolled Agent, so we handle personal tax returns for business owners and tax planning year-round. That includes Schedule C if you're a sole proprietor or single-member LLC.
My books are a mess. Can you fix that?
Yes. Most clients come to us with books that are behind. We do catch-up work to get everything current and accurate, then move you onto monthly service so it stays that way.
Do you work with restaurants and salons?
Yes. Those are two of our core industries. We handle the tip tracking, payroll, sales tax, and high transaction volume that come with food service and personal care businesses.
