Who we help
Small businesses and the people who run them
Most of our clients wear a lot of hats. Books and taxes are the hats we take off your head: the business side, the personal side, or both.
For small businesses
Sole proprietors, LLCs, S-Corps, and partnerships, from your first sale to your fiftieth hire. Monthly bookkeeping, clean financial statements, quarterly estimates, and business returns, all handled by the same small team.

W-2 jobs, freelance and 1099 work, rental property, stock sales, more states than you'd like. We prepare thoughtful personal returns and answer the "wait, can I deduct this?" questions all year long.

What we do
Everything the numbers need, nothing you don't
Four services, done carefully, by people you can actually talk to.
Business tax
Federal and state returns for sole proprietors, LLCs, S-Corps, and partnerships, plus quarterly estimates so April never surprises you.
Personal tax
Thoughtful individual returns for simple and not-so-simple lives: W-2s, side gigs, rentals, and everything in between.
Catch-up bookkeeping
Months or years behind? No judgment. It's the most common way clients find us. We'll bring your books current and keep them that way.
How it works
From “where do I even start?” to “it's all handled”
Say hello
A free 30-minute video call. We look at where your books and taxes stand today and give you an honest recommendation, even if the honest recommendation isn't us.
We tidy your books
We connect your accounts, set up or clean up your books, and catch up any backlog. You spend about an hour on setup; we do the rest.
A steady monthly rhythm
Every month your books are closed and your statements arrive with a short plain-English note. When tax time comes, everything is already in order.
A note from our founders
Before Harbor Books, we started and ran small companies ourselves. We've done the late-night receipt sorting, squinted at quarterly-estimate notices we didn't understand, and paid for accounting help that billed by the hour and answered in jargon.
Harbor Books is the firm we kept wishing existed: books that are simply handled every month, prices published right on the website, and real people who explain things the way a friend would. That's the whole idea, and we'd love to show it to you.
— Vinay & Manoj, Founders
