New York sales tax
New York has a state sales tax rate plus city and county rates that vary by location. If your business collects sales tax, your bookkeeper records the amounts collected each period and keeps a running total for your filings. Your accountant or tax preparer handles the filing itself; your bookkeeper keeps the records ready.

What it costs
Pay-as-you-go bookkeeping costs $12 an hour and hours never expire, so you pay only for work done. A dedicated bookkeeper starts from $5.62 an hour on a monthly plan. An in-house bookkeeper in New York typically costs far more once you add salary and benefits. See the bookkeeping service and the pricing page, or read our guide to bookkeeping services pricing.
