How it works
Bookkeeping work from Rhode Island
Contractors keep small business books current each month: categorizing, reconciling accounts and producing reports in QuickBooks Online, Xero or the client's own software. We are a young firm and take a limited number of contractors, so we do not promise a volume of work. We do not have an office in the state, and the work is done online. The larger cities in the state that our pages cover include Providence.
The state's economy leans on health services, tourism and manufacturing, and clients in those fields often need steady monthly books.

- Comfort with monthly reconciliations and clear client communication

Rhode Island details
What to know about Rhode Island work
The state tax agency is Rhode Island Division of Taxation. You do not need to be an expert in its rules, but you should be comfortable reading its notices and knowing which filings belong to the client and which to their tax professional.
We do not hire for a location. A Rhode Island bookkeeper works from home, in the client's own file, on a monthly schedule.
What it pays
Pay and terms
There is no posted rate. We agree a rate with you on a short call and put it in writing before you start with any client. You decide which work to accept, and you receive a 1099 at year end.
A plain note: this is not legal advice, and we are a young company that deliberately keeps the team small, so early contractors see more of the work as it grows.
