Long Island City is one of Queens's distinctive business communities. A fast-growing tech, arts, and small-business district. Whether you run a storefront, a service company, or a home-based venture here, Tides Bookkeeping keeps your books accurate, categorized, and ready for tax season - without you ever leaving Long Island City.
As part of the greater Queens, NY economy within Queens County, Long Island City businesses share the same New York tax and compliance landscape as the rest of the area. Our remote-first process means you get a dedicated bookkeeper and clean monthly financials no matter where in Queens you are located - reconciled accounts, categorized transactions, and monthly profit-and-loss and balance-sheet reporting you can actually use.
New York carries one of the heaviest tax loads in the country. The graduated state income tax tops out at 10.9%, and New York City residents pay a SEPARATE city income tax on top (with a surcharge for Yonkers residents). Employers in the downstate metro owe the MTA payroll mobility tax, and the 4% state sales tax runs to 8.875% in New York City with local add-ons elsewhere. Keeping income, sales, and payroll records clean is exactly what we do.
