Bookkeeping for Stony Brook Small Businesses

Bookkeeping for Stony Brook small businesses. Monthly records and catch-up work from a Long Island bookkeeping firm.

Bookkeeping for Stony Brook

We provide bookkeeping for small businesses in Stony Brook. Monthly closes, clean financials, and catch-up work when things fall behind. The back-office support that lets you focus on running your business instead of reconciling accounts.

Stony Brook has a unique mix. University-adjacent businesses, healthcare practices, local shops in the village, and service companies covering the residential areas. We work with all of them, providing Long Island bookkeeping services from our office in Melville.

Full-Service Bookkeeping

Monthly transaction categorization, bank reconciliation, and financial reports. Your books stay current without you spending evenings catching up on QuickBooks.

Catch-Up Bookkeeping

Books behind by months or years? We sort through everything, clean it up, and get you current. Most clients start here before moving to monthly service.

Bill Payment and Invoicing

We handle accounts payable and receivable. Bills get paid on time, invoices go out promptly, and everything is tracked and recorded properly.

Payroll Setup

If you’re hiring your first employee or switching payroll systems, we configure everything and train you to run it yourself. No ongoing dependency required.

Stony Brook Businesses We Work With

The university and hospital anchor the local economy, but there are hundreds of smaller businesses serving the Three Village community. Medical offices, service companies, consultants, and nonprofits that need accurate financial records but don’t have accounting staff.

We work with service-based businesses and nonprofits doing anywhere from startup revenue to a few million annually. Big enough to need professional bookkeeping, not big enough to justify a full-time hire. That’s the gap we fill.

Healthcare Practices

Medical offices, dental practices, therapy providers, specialty care. Stony Brook has many independent practitioners serving the community. We track the revenue timing and insurance receivables that healthcare accounting requires.

Home and Property Services

Landscapers, cleaners, pool services, pest control. The residential areas around Stony Brook keep these businesses busy year-round. We keep the books straight while you keep the routes running.

Professional Services

Consultants, agencies, coaches, and independent professionals. If you’re running a practice from a Stony Brook office or your home, we handle the bookkeeping so you can focus on clients.

Nonprofits

Churches, community organizations, foundations. Sarah has direct nonprofit experience with fund accounting, grant tracking, and the financial reporting that donors and boards expect to see.

Common Questions

Everything happens remotely. We connect to your QuickBooks and bank feeds online. Location doesn't affect the actual work. We're on Long Island, same as you, if you ever want to meet in person.

What does monthly bookkeeping cost?

Starting at $199 per month based on transaction volume. We'll give you an exact number after a short conversation about your business.

My books haven't been touched in months. Can you help?

That's how most clients come to us. We clean up the backlog first, then move into regular monthly service so it doesn't fall behind again.

Do you have experience with nonprofits?

Yes. Sarah worked directly in nonprofit finance, including a role where she grew net assets 140% through better budgeting and financial controls. We understand fund accounting and the reporting nonprofits need.
