I've known Becca for years, and she's one of the most genuine people I know. Becca cares for her clients and wants to help them succeed. If I owned a business in Boston, she'd be doing my numbers, no question. Her communication skills are fantastic; I am always surprised by how quickly she responds to her clients and their financial team.

I've had a few bookkeepers over the years and the team at the Boston Bookkeeper is easily the most thorough. I finally understand my own numbers and they handle all of it for me at a fraction of what I used to pay.

The difference

From dreading your books to barely thinking about them.

Doing it yourself

  • Ten or more hours a month you will never get back
  • Big decisions made on a gut feeling, not on the numbers
  • That sinking feeling every time tax season comes around
  • Quiet errors you will not catch until they cost you

    • With The Boston Bookkeeper

  • Your evenings and weekends back to run the business
  • A clear, audit grade profit and loss statement every month
  • Always tax ready, so tax season is a non event
  • A former Big Four auditor quietly watching your books
    • Free 2 minute check

    What is doing your own books really costing you?

    Your time has a price. Put it next to what Rebecca actually costs. Most owners are surprised which one turns out cheaper.

    About Rebecca

    Why owners stop worrying once Rebecca has the books.

    Rebecca Kazakoff providing bookkeeping services for Boston business owners
    "I spent years auditing major corporations at one of the Big Four. Now I bring that same discipline to the businesses that deserve books they never have to second guess."
    Rebecca Kazakoff Founder and CPA · The Boston Bookkeeper

    Most bookkeepers learned on the job. Rebecca learned inside one of the world's most rigorous audit environments, then spent years in technical accounting at large publicly traded companies. She chose to bring that work to small businesses instead. You get that level of accuracy without the enterprise price tag, and a real person who picks up the phone when you call.

    She is based in Boston and works with clients across the country. The books run on QuickBooks Online, documents move through a shared folder, and you talk to her on a scheduled call, so where you are makes very little difference to how the work gets done.

    What we take off your plate

    One person, all your numbers, handled.

    Monthly Bookkeeping

    Reconciled, categorized, and current every month, so you never again wonder whether your books are right.

    Financial Reporting

    A profit and loss statement and balance sheet you can actually read, so you always know if you made money this month.

    Invoicing and Bill Pay

    Accounts receivable and payable handled for you, so cash flow stays predictable and nothing slips through.

    1099s

    Contractor 1099s prepared cleanly before year end, so vendors are covered and tax season stays calm.

    Cleanup and Catch Up

    Months behind, or a shoebox of receipts? We rebuild the mess into a clean foundation, fast, before your tax accountant has to do it at their rates.

    Payroll and Tax Support

    Payroll and sales tax handled, with a tidy year end package for your tax CPA, so tax season stops being a scramble.

    QuickBooks Desktop to Online Conversions

    Move from QuickBooks Desktop to QuickBooks Online with your chart of accounts, balances, and history set up cleanly.

    Premium · former Big Four

    Fractional CFO

    Budgeting, forecasting, and straight financial advice from a former corporate auditor, for when you are ready to grow.

    Big Four audit rigor, delivered personally.

    Rebecca trained as an auditor at one of the Big Four, then worked in technical accounting at large publicly traded companies. Almost no solo bookkeeper can put that stack behind your books: Big Four audit training, public company technical accounting, a CPA licence, and a QuickBooks ProAdvisor certification. That is exactly why owners stop second guessing their numbers.

    Handing over your books is the scary part. We treat it that way.

    Access is limited to only what is needed, credentials are never shared, and your books live inside secure, industry standard accounting platforms. We know that trusting someone with your financials is the biggest hesitation an owner has, so we take it as seriously as you do.

    Cleanup services

    Behind on the books? Get them rebuilt correctly.

    Rebecca cleans up overdue, inconsistent, or incomplete books with the discipline of a former Big Four auditing expert. The goal is accurate, CPA-ready accounting you can use for taxes, decisions, financing, and a cleaner monthly close going forward.

    Questions

    Before you book.

    How fast can you take this off my plate?

    Most clients are fully onboarded within a week or two. If you are behind, we run a cleanup first, then settle you into a smooth monthly rhythm you never have to think about.

    What does a former Big Four auditor actually mean for me?

    It means Rebecca brings auditor-trained habits to small business bookkeeping: clean documentation, careful reconciliations, and controls-minded review scaled to the size and complexity of your company.

    Is my pricing locked in, or will it creep?

    Your plan and price are set on your first call, based on your revenue and transaction volume. No surprise invoices, no quiet creep later.

    My books are honestly a mess. Is that a problem?

    Not at all, and you are not the first. Cleanup and catch up is one of our core services. We rebuild backlogged or disorganized records into a clean foundation, then keep them that way.

    Do I have to be in Boston to work with you?

    No. Rebecca is Boston based and takes on remote clients across the country. Everything runs on QuickBooks Online, shared documents and a scheduled call, so the work is the same whether you are in Somerville or Seattle. Plenty of clients have never met her in person.

    What do messy books actually cost me?

    Usually more at tax time than during the year. When the records arrive disorganised, your tax accountant has to rebuild them before they can file, and that rebuild is billed at tax-accountant rates rather than bookkeeping rates. Owners are often surprised that the invoice for sorting out one bad year costs more than a year of having it done properly.

    How do we get started?
