Bookkeeping & Advisory for Lyon Village Businesses

Bookkeeping, payroll, and advisory services for small businesses in Lyon Village, Arlington. Accurate books and clear financials from a team that knows the area.

What We Do for Lyon Village Businesses

Lyon Village sits right between Clarendon and Courthouse, surrounded by the kind of small business activity that makes Arlington what it is. Consultants, law firms, property owners, and service businesses all operate in and around this neighborhood. We provide full-service bookkeeping, payroll, tax preparation, and advisory support for these businesses so the financial side stays organized without requiring a full-time hire.

We work remotely with all of our clients, which means you get consistent, process-driven service without needing to block time for in-person meetings. Monthly reporting, proactive communication, and books you can trust when it comes time to make decisions or file taxes.

Monthly Bookkeeping

Transaction categorization, bank and credit card reconciliation, monthly close, and financial statements. Your books stay current every month and your reports actually reflect what is happening in the business.

Tax Preparation and Planning

Business and personal tax returns filed on books we have maintained all year. Quarterly estimates tracked so April is not a surprise. Proactive tax strategy to reduce your liability through entity structure, timing, and deductions.

Payroll

Full payroll processing with tax deposits, quarterly filings, W-2s, and 1099s. Your team gets paid correctly and on schedule, and you stop spending time on calculations and deadlines every pay period.

Advisory and Fractional CFO

Cash flow forecasting, budgeting, and strategic financial guidance for businesses that need more than bookkeeping. CFO-level thinking without the CFO-level salary, built around where your business actually is today.

Who We Work With in Lyon Village

Lyon Village is a neighborhood of professionals. Many business owners here run firms that serve clients across Arlington, Northern Virginia, and Washington, D.C. Others own rental properties in the area or manage small teams out of offices along the Clarendon corridor. The common thread is that they are busy running operations and the books tend to fall behind because there is always something more pressing.

We work with businesses doing anywhere from $50k to $5M in revenue. If you have outgrown doing the books yourself or in a spreadsheet but are not ready for a full-time accounting hire, that is exactly the gap we fill. Our team at ATS includes certified professionals who understand the specific needs of the industries common in this part of Arlington.

Professional Services

Law firms, consultants, and service-based businesses are everywhere in the Clarendon and Courthouse area. We handle the books so you can focus on billable work instead of chasing down expense reports and reconciling accounts at midnight.

Real Estate Investors and Landlords

Arlington rental properties are not cheap to acquire and the margins matter. We track income and expenses by property, handle depreciation schedules, and keep your records ready for tax time or a new acquisition.

Healthcare Practices

Medical offices, therapy providers, dental practices. Insurance receivables, patient payments, and revenue recognition timing make healthcare accounting its own discipline. We understand the nuances and keep the financials accurate.

Nonprofits

Arlington has a strong nonprofit community. We handle fund accounting, grant tracking, and annual Form 990 preparation. Our bookkeepers in Fairfax work with nonprofits throughout Northern Virginia to keep their reporting clean and their compliance current.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you work with businesses based in Lyon Village?

Yes. We work with businesses throughout Arlington and Northern Virginia, including Lyon Village. Everything is handled remotely so your specific location doesn't matter.

What does monthly bookkeeping cost?

Full-service bookkeeping starts at $300 per month. Your exact price depends on transaction volume. We quote a flat rate after reviewing your business.

Can you coordinate with my existing tax preparer?

Absolutely. We keep your books organized and CPA-ready throughout the year, then hand everything off cleanly at tax time. If you'd like us to handle tax prep directly, we do that too.

How does remote bookkeeping actually work?

We connect to your bank feeds, you upload receipts through a secure portal, and we handle everything from there. Monthly reports, regular check-ins, and clear communication without needing to schedule office visits.

What if my books are months behind?

That's a common starting point. We do catch-up bookkeeping to get everything current, then transition to regular monthly service so it stays that way.
