Bookkeeping for Maine small businesses
MCC Solutions provides online monthly bookkeeping, catch-up cleanup and filing support for small businesses in Maine, from our base in Cranford, NJ. Monthly bookkeeping starts at $450.
Maine basics
What Maine businesses deal with
Maine's sales tax rate is 5.5%, with higher rates for meals and lodging.
Many Maine businesses are seasonal, so monthly books that show cash flow across slow and busy months matter more than they do for year-round shops.
Maine items we keep your books ready for
- Sales and use tax returns, including the higher rates for meals and lodging
- Withholding and unemployment reports for employees
- Paid Family and Medical Leave contributions, which depend on your payroll
- The annual report to the Secretary of State
- Pass-through entity filings for partnerships and S corporations
