Owners in Lexington
Higher-income owner situations
Owners here often have several income streams, so each business, rental or side activity is kept separate and reconciled, and estimated tax payments are set aside as income arrives. See also Massachusetts bookkeeping and the higher-income Northeast towns.
What we focus on
- Owner pay planned and recorded the same way every month, whether you take a salary, draws or distributions
- Estimated tax payments set aside as income arrives, so the bill is never a surprise
- Each business, rental property or side activity kept separate and reconciled
- Records ready for your tax professional, including about any pass-through entity tax election your state offers
We keep the books and records. Tax advice and elections are for you and your tax professional.

General bookkeeping practice, not tax or legal advice.
Beyond the books
From records to decisions
After reconciled books comes the harder part: using them. For Lexington owners that can mean a cash forecast for the next quarter, a budget, or a package ready for a lender.
Fractional CFO support is a few hours a month of senior financial attention instead of a full-time hire. It sits on top of your monthly books. For tax returns, audits or legal questions we work alongside your CPA or attorney, and we are not a CPA firm.
What that can include
- A one-page dashboard of the five or six numbers you steer by
- Loan, line of credit and payoff scenarios
- A rolling 13-week cash flow forecast, so a slow month is not a surprise
