Bookkeeping and Payroll Built for Somerville's Main Street Businesses

As the seat of Somerset County, Somerville draws a steady weekday crowd of attorneys, title agents, court visitors and county employees, then fills up again on evenings and weekends when diners head for the Main Street restaurant strip. That rhythm creates a particular kind of bookkeeping load. A café might ring up hundreds of small card transactions a day, a law-adjacent office might bill by the hour with trust-related deposits to keep separate, and a boutique might carry seasonal inventory that turns over around holidays and street festivals.

Each of those owners needs the same foundation: bank and card accounts reconciled every month, sales categorized so the profit picture is honest, and a monthly report you can read in five minutes. Agile Business Accounting provides that foundation for Somerville businesses, so you can focus on the customers walking through your door.

New Jersey's 6.625% sales tax applies to prepared food and most retail goods, and Somerville sellers report it on the quarterly ST-50 with monthly deposits once collections cross the state threshold. Misreading which items are taxable is one of the most common mistakes we see from new restaurant and retail owners. We reconcile your point-of-sale reports to your deposits and prepare each return through our quarterly sales tax payment service, so the number you send Trenton matches the number your register recorded.
