QuickBooks Online bookkeeping · Melrose, MA
I'm Riyad. I reconcile your accounts, sort every transaction, and send you a profit and loss you can actually read, every month. When your CPA asks for year-end numbers, you send a report instead of a box of receipts.
QuickBooks Online services
Keep your books current every month, or get them caught up first. Either way, everything lives in your own QuickBooks Online file, so you can see what I did.
Ongoing
Once a month I close out your books, then send you the reports and a short note on anything that looks off.
A fresh start
Six months behind, or not sure the numbers in QuickBooks are right? I go through what's there, fix what's wrong, and bring everything current.
What I don't do: tax returns or payroll processing. I keep the books clean and work alongside the CPA and payroll provider you already have.
Getting started
You tell me what the business does and where the books stand. No charge, no pitch.
You invite me as your accountant user in QuickBooks Online. I'll send you the steps; it takes about two minutes.
I review your transactions and accounts, then send a monthly price and a cleanup price if you need one.
Every month: reconcile, categorize, then send you the reports and a short note.
Monthly bookkeeping
These ranges show what to expect. After our call, I look at your QuickBooks file and quote a monthly fee based on how many transactions and accounts you have.
A small operation with a few accounts and not much going on behind the scenes.
A busier business with employees, a loan, or a few cards in play.
More accounts, more activity, and more ways money comes in and goes out.
These are guidelines, not packages. Your quote comes after I've seen your books, and it can land outside these ranges.
I'll review them and quote the cleanup separately.
Quarterly bookkeeping is 75% of your quoted monthly rate, billed monthly.
Client reviews
"Riyad does the books for my restaurant. Before, I didn't really look at the numbers until tax time. Now every month I know where things stand. Saves me a lot of headache."
"I was keeping track of everything in a spreadsheet and the POS system. Riyad got it all set up and caught up. Easy to work with, and he answers when I text him."
The person behind the books
I've been around small-business books since I was old enough to help out at my dad's restaurants.
Back then that meant whatever needed doing. These days it means I keep his books myself, every month, and have for the last two years. That's where I learned what a business owner actually wants from the numbers: tell me if we made money, tell me where it went, and don't make me dig for it.
The rest of my background is more formal. I studied finance at Salem State, then spent a year running a nonprofit's budget, where every dollar needed a paper trail. After that I did fund accounting for private equity funds, where the reports went to investors and a wrong number got noticed. Corporate accounting came next.
Melrose Highlands Bookkeeping is the version of that work I like best: one owner, one set of books, and a monthly report you can read in five minutes.
