Biotech, spinout, and innovation companies around Boston frequently need sophisticated burn, runway, milestone, and board reporting before they are ready for a full-time CFO. We provide that CFO layer for companies in the $2M–$50M range. Newton combines village-center small businesses with access to Greater Boston talent, universities, healthcare institutions, and the Newton-Needham innovation corridor. That makes fractional CFO support valuable: leadership needs forecasting, cash visibility, scenario planning, and board-ready reporting before a full-time CFO is justified.
Best for: Businesses between $2M and $50M making decisions that need real financial rigor.
Same four service lines as our other markets, with Boston-specific expertise built in.
Monthly reconciliations, clean chart of accounts, and a financial close you can actually trust. We handle the mess so you don’t.
Federal, state, and multistate tax filings handled on time. Apportionment, sales & use tax, and nonprofit Form 990 work included.
QuickBooks, payroll, AP/AR, and time tracking set up to actually work. We integrate tools so you stop duplicating data entry.
Strategic finance support without the full-time hire. Cash flow forecasts, board reporting, and a real person to call when you need to make a decision.
Our Greater Boston client base reflects New England’s economy — a mix of life sciences and biotech, professional services, education and nonprofits, and the established service businesses defining the region.
Massachusetts levies a 5% flat personal income tax and a corporate excise tax that combines an income measure with a net-worth measure, so ‘profitable on paper’ and ‘what you actually owe’ rarely match without planning. Pass-through entities also have the elective PTE excise to weigh. Getting the entity structure and the books aligned with how Massachusetts actually taxes you is where most surprises get avoided.
Greater Boston’s life-sciences, tech, and professional-services firms frequently sell and hire across state lines, which raises sales-and-use tax nexus and multistate apportionment questions earlier than founders expect. We handle the Massachusetts filings, the nexus and apportionment work, and the GAAP-compliant financials that venture-backed and investor-ready companies need for diligence — so growth doesn’t outrun your compliance.
Do you serve businesses outside Boston proper?
Yes. Our Greater Boston team supports clients across the region — Cambridge, Somerville, Newton, Quincy, Waltham, and the surrounding suburbs along Route 128 and I-95. Most engagements run remotely with periodic in-person meetings as needed.
Can you handle Massachusetts tax and multistate filings?
Yes. We handle Massachusetts corporate excise tax, the 5% income tax, the elective PTE excise, and sales & use tax — plus the apportionment work for businesses operating across multiple states. Many Greater Boston firms operate across New England, and we handle those multistate filings either way.
Do you work with venture-backed SaaS and tech companies?
Yes. Life-sciences, biotech, and software businesses are a meaningful part of our Boston practice. We handle ARR and grant tracking, deferred revenue accounting, GAAP-compliant financials for diligence, and the reporting investors expect.
How much does outsourced bookkeeping cost?
Engagements typically range based on transaction volume, number of accounts, and complexity. We give you a flat monthly fee in week one — no hourly billing surprises. Cleanup work is quoted separately as a one-time fee.
Will I always get the same person?
Yes. Each client is assigned a senior bookkeeper as their primary contact, with a CPA reviewing the work. You won't be passed around to a rotating cast.
A 20-minute call. No pitch, no obligation. We’ll listen, ask a few questions, and tell you honestly whether we can help.
