Bookkeeping services for New York businesses
Bookkeeping for a New York business comes down to three jobs that repeat every month. Every bank and card transaction gets matched to a record. Every invoice you're owed and every bill you owe gets tracked. Then both turn into reports. That's the work we take off your desk.

Your bookkeeper sets up your accounts and chart of accounts, or migrates them from your current system. After that, the monthly work is bank and credit card reconciliation, recording income and expenses, tracking fixed assets and depreciation, payroll accounting, and keeping receivables and payables current.
The output is financial statements, a cash flow view with forecasting, and reports built around the numbers you actually look at. See the full bookkeeping and accounting service.
What a New York City business's books have to support
Each of these filings is built from the monthly books.
New York City Unincorporated Business Tax
New York City taxes unincorporated businesses, including individuals, partnerships and LLCs, on taxable income allocated to the city at a 4% rate. The return depends on the filer: NYC-202 for individuals and single-member LLCs, NYC-204 for partnerships including LLCs. Source: NYC Department of Finance, Unincorporated Business Tax.
New York State sales tax
New vendors generally file quarterly, with returns due no later than 20 days after the quarter ends. A vendor must begin filing monthly once combined taxable sales and purchases subject to use tax reach $300,000 in a quarter.
