Payroll EntriesTax Sync
The NY Tax Angle

One of the nation's highest income taxes — state and local.

On top of New York State's graduated income tax (up to 10.9%), residents of Richmond County — a borough of New York City — pay a separate New York City income tax, employers owe the MTA payroll mobility tax, and the combined sales tax is 8.875%. We keep your income, sales, and payroll records clean.

Why Tides

Why Richmond County Business
Owners Choose Tides.

There's no shortage of bookkeepers in Richmond County — but most are local firms with hourly billing, slow turnarounds, and outdated processes. Tides was built differently.

Built Remote — Optimized for It

We're not a local firm that went remote reluctantly. We were built remote-first from day one, which means faster delivery, better systems, and no overhead passed to you.

Flat Monthly Pricing — No Surprises

One flat rate based on your transaction volume. No hourly billing, no surprise invoices, no "extra work" fees. You know exactly what you're paying every month.
