New York accounting FAQ

We are an online accounting and bookkeeping firm serving New York and the surrounding area — Brooklyn, Queens, Long Island, Westchester — entirely through cloud software and video calls scheduled in Eastern time. You get the same work as a local firm, usually faster, at $15 per hour.

New York City adds its own personal income tax, an Unincorporated Business Tax on many self-employed people and partnerships, and a Commercial Rent Tax on larger Manhattan leases below 96th Street. We track these in your books alongside New York state requirements.

We charge $15 per hour wherever you are. Most small New York businesses need somewhere between a few hours and a couple of days of bookkeeping a month, and you get a written estimate before we start.

We are an accounting and bookkeeping firm, not a CPA firm, so we do not sign or file returns. We prepare tax-ready books and local tax schedules for your CPA or Enrolled Agent and coordinate with them directly.
