Bookkeeping for City of Alexandria Small Businesses
Bookkeeping, payroll, and advisory services for Alexandria businesses. Serving Old Town, Del Ray, and all of Alexandria from our Fairfax office.
Bookkeeping for the City of Alexandria
Alexandria sits right across the Potomac from the nation’s capital, and the city’s business community reflects that proximity. Law firms, consulting practices, government contractors, nonprofits, and the restaurants and shops that make Old Town and Del Ray two of the most active commercial corridors in Northern Virginia. All of these businesses need accurate financial records, and most of them don’t have a full-time accountant on staff.
We’re bookkeepers in Fairfax, based just up the road on Random Hills Road. We provide monthly bookkeeping, payroll, catch-up work, and tax preparation for Alexandria businesses. Everything runs through secure digital workflows, which means you get consistent, timely service without adding another drive across the city to your schedule.
Full-Service Bookkeeping
Full-Service Bookkeeping
Full-service bookkeeping that keeps your records current every month. Transactions categorized, bank and credit card accounts reconciled, and financial statements delivered so you always know where the business stands.
Catch-Up Bookkeeping
Catch-Up Bookkeeping
Books a few months or a few years behind? We clean up the backlog, organize what’s there, and get everything current before moving to monthly service. Most clients who come to us start here.
Payroll
Payroll
We run payroll, handle tax deposits and quarterly filings, and issue year-end W-2s. Your team gets paid correctly and on time while you stop tracking federal and Virginia deadlines yourself.
Tax Preparation
Tax Preparation
Business and personal tax returns prepared with the proper schedules and filings. When your books are clean all year, tax season becomes a straightforward handoff instead of a last-minute scramble.
Alexandria Businesses We Work With
Alexandria covers just 15 square miles but supports a remarkably diverse business community. King Street in Old Town has restaurants and boutiques that have been operating for decades. The offices along Eisenhower Avenue house consulting firms and defense contractors. Del Ray’s Mount Vernon Avenue has grown into one of the strongest small business corridors in the region. And throughout the city you’ll find the nonprofits and associations that chose Alexandria for its access to the capital without the DC overhead.
We work with Alexandria businesses doing roughly $100K to a few million in revenue. Established enough to need professional bookkeeping and advisory support, but not at the scale where a full-time accounting department makes sense. That’s the gap we fill.
Professional Services
Professional Services
Law firms, consultants, and government contractors are everywhere in Alexandria. We track profitability, keep the books clean for partner reporting, and make sure your financials are ready when lenders or clients need to see them.
Nonprofits and Associations
Nonprofits and Associations
Alexandria is one of the largest nonprofit hubs in the country. We handle the bookkeeping and file Form 990s for organizations that need accurate fund accounting, grant tracking, and financials their board can trust.
Restaurants and Retail
Restaurants and Retail
Old Town and Del Ray keep adding new spots, and established businesses keep evolving. High transaction volume, tight margins, and tip reporting that has to be right. We track it all and close the books every month.
Real Estate Investors
Real Estate Investors
Property values in Alexandria mean real money moving through rental portfolios and investment entities. We handle property-level tracking, reconcile what’s collected against what’s owed, and keep your books ready for tax time and financing conversations.
