New York
Your New York QuickBooks bookkeeper — ProAdvisor expertise, New York rules.
Bookkeeping, QuickBooks setup and cleanup, payroll coordination, and NYC sales tax — delivered by your TechBrot team, with every close reviewed by a Certified QuickBooks ProAdvisor, in your own QuickBooks file. Fixed-fee, all 62 counties.
New York rule: New York City charges its Unincorporated Business Tax at 4% of the taxable income allocated to the city, which reaches sole proprietors, partnerships and LLCs; the books tag NYC-source income so the allocation is a calculation. Source: NYC Department of Finance, UBT.
If your file needs our paid diagnostic first, its fee is credited in full against the cleanup. Either way, you get a fixed fee in writing before any work starts.
They took something that felt overwhelming to me as a first-year business owner and made it simple.
What stood out the most was TechBrot Inc’s attention to detail.

The short version.
A New York QuickBooks accountant from TechBrot keeps your books in QuickBooks Online or Desktop: every account categorized and reconciled, sales-tax items set for NYC’s 8.875% combined rate, the Unincorporated Business Tax tracked for sole proprietors and partnerships, and CPA-ready monthly statements. Monthly bookkeeping runs $500–$2,500+/mo; your CPA files.
Everything your books need, handled by one team.
Every engagement is scoped to your business and delivered in your own QuickBooks file by your TechBrot team — the same team, every month.
Monthly bookkeeping & reconciliation
Every bank, credit-card, and merchant account categorized and reconciled, a clean chart of accounts maintained, and monthly statements you can actually read — in your own QuickBooks file.
QuickBooks cleanup & catch-up
Behind or messy? We fix the file to a CPA-ready standard — undeposited funds, miscategorizations, broken reconciliations — then keep it clean.
QuickBooks setup & migration
A new file built right, or a Desktop-to-Online migration done without breaking your history — chart of accounts, items, and bank feeds configured by a ProAdvisor.
NYC sales tax tracking
Destination-based sales tax tracked in QuickBooks so your quarterly New York return reconciles to the books — including the 8.875% NYC combined rate. We prepare the numbers; you or your CPA file through NYS Web File.
Payroll coordination
QuickBooks Payroll run and reconciled into the books, multi-state aware for New York businesses with remote or out-of-state staff — so wages, taxes, and liabilities reconcile every month.
Year-end CPA handoff
Clean, reconciled, documented books delivered to your CPA at year-end — so your return is faster, cheaper, and audit-ready. We coordinate with them directly so nothing falls through.
Three New York facts that change how your books are kept.
These aren’t footnotes — they shape how the chart of accounts, sales-tax items, and reporting are set up from day one.
NYC combined sales tax
4% state + 4.5% city + 0.375% MCTD. Destination-based — the rate follows your customer’s location across all 62 counties, so we set sales-tax items up to track it correctly in QuickBooks.
NYC Unincorporated Business Tax
The UBT hits sole proprietors, partnerships, and LLCs operating in the city — separate from your personal return. It is easy to miss until a notice arrives; we keep the books UBT-aware so your CPA has what they need.
Economic-nexus threshold
Over $500K in New York receipts AND 100+ transactions triggers a NY sales-tax collection obligation. We track both in the books so you know before you cross it, not after.

Four steps from messy to handled.
Every New York engagement follows the same rhythm — file accurate first, monthly cadence second, advisory third.
- Step 1
Discovery call
A free call to review your QuickBooks file and your New York situation — volume, accounts, sales-tax exposure, and where things are breaking. No pitch.
- Step 2
Written scope
A fixed-fee proposal within 3 business days — cleanup, monthly, or both — with the price in writing before any work begins.
- Step 3
Cleanup & setup
Your senior bookkeeper gets the file CPA-ready and reconciled — fixing categorization, sales-tax items, and broken reconciliations to a known-good baseline.
- Step 4 ✓
Monthly cadence
Same operator, same file, every month — reconciled accounts, sales tax tracked, statements delivered, with a clean year-end handoff to your CPA.
Automation handles the data entry. We handle the judgment.
Software can categorize a transaction. It can’t tell you your NYC UBT exposure is climbing, that your margins are slipping, or that your cash will tighten before a quarterly sales-tax payment. As bookkeeping commoditizes, that judgment is where the value moves.
Once your New York books are clean and reconciled, the question shifts from “are the books right?” to “what do they tell me to do next?” That’s what a New York fractional CFO engagement adds once your books are clean. Explore fractional CFO & advisory →

Your TechBrot team.
Every engagement runs on three roles: a client advisor who scopes it and stays your point of contact, a bookkeeper who prepares your setup and monthly close in your software, and a Certified QuickBooks ProAdvisor who reviews every close before it reaches you. A senior bookkeeper is available on request, including a U.S.-based bookkeeper whose public directory profile we can share with you.
Specialists when your books need them.
Senior bookkeepers who specialize in rental portfolios and Xero, and specialist partner practices for trust accounting for law firms and CFO advisory. We bring the right one onto your engagement when your business calls for it, under the same standards and review.

What a QuickBooks ProAdvisor costs
Before you engage anyone in New York: what a QuickBooks ProAdvisor charges nationally, why the fee is quoted as a written fixed scope rather than an hourly rate, and which factors move it.
New York QuickBooks cleanup
If the file is behind or the numbers do not tie out, cleanup comes before any monthly engagement — what that involves in New York, and how it is scoped.
