One bookkeeper for a Newington business.
Newington's economic development office describes a town with industrial parks, the Berlin Turnpike commercial corridor, a Town Center retail district and smaller neighborhood commerce areas. Each of those keeps very different books.
What they do need is someone keeping transactions categorized, accounts reconciled and reports current. Brittany offers that as full-charge bookkeeping or as a narrower piece of work, such as reconciling a card account that has drifted or catching up the months that slipped.
Working from home
Home-based counts as a business in Newington.
The Newington Assessor's guidance is plain: anyone with business assets on October 1 files a personal property declaration, and that includes home-based businesses. Furniture, fixtures, machinery and other equipment bought for the business belong on the list. The deadline is November 1, or the next business day when it falls on a weekend, and a late or missing filing carries a 25% penalty under state law.
Newington accepts a postmarked declaration, and it will take one emailed as a PDF. The Assessor also publishes a fillable declaration form and a separate Affidavit of Business Closing, Moving, or Sale for the year a business changes shape.
Brittany's part is the records behind it: keeping equipment purchases separated from household spending as they happen, which is the hard part for a business run from home. QuickBooks Online bookkeeping set up that way means the asset list is already sitting in the books when the form arrives.
- Home-based businesses file too
- Postmarks accepted, PDFs by email
- An affidavit for closing, moving or selling
Getting set up
The trade name, and who notarizes it.
Newington's economic development pages tell new owners to register their trade name with the Newington Town Clerk. Under the rules in force since January 2025, the certificate is filed in the town where the business is principally carried on, and the fee is $20. The form must be notarized, and the Town Clerk's office offers notary service, so one visit to Garfield Street can cover both.
For advice beyond the books, the town lists the Newington Chamber of Commerce and the Connecticut Small Business Development Center, which gives no-cost, confidential advising. For the monthly record-keeping itself, call Brittany on (860) 234-7704, Monday to Friday, 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM.
Newington is one of five towns in Brittany's Hartford County service area.
