Beyond the books
Books show last month. Planning looks ahead
Some owners are happy with accurate books. Others, in Berkeley Heights and elsewhere, reach a point where they need forecasts, margins and a plan, but do not need a full-time finance executive.
It is planning and reporting on the books we keep, delivered at the size your business needs. It does not replace your CPA. Tax returns are a separate service (see /tax-preparation); we do not audit statements or give legal advice.
What that can include
- A one-page dashboard of the five or six numbers you steer by
- Loan, line of credit and payoff scenarios
- Preparation for bringing in a partner, selling or an outside review

FAQ
Berkeley Heights bookkeeping questions
Do you work with Berkeley Heights businesses in person?
Cranford is a short drive from Berkeley Heights. The routine work happens online in your own accounting software, and we can meet in person whenever that is useful.
What do consultants and professional firms need from their books?
Invoices are matched to payments so open receivables are accurate, client retainers and expenses are kept apart, and owner pay is recorded the same way every month. Monthly reports show real profit after the owner's own costs.
What is different about bookkeeping for a health practice?
Insurance payments, patient payments and write-offs are reconciled separately, so receivables are never guessed. Payroll, supplies and equipment financing are tracked monthly. We work from your accounting records and never need patient clinical information.
My books are behind. Can you catch me up?
Yes. Cleanup work brings past months up to date and reconciled before regular monthly service begins. We give a written quote first.
Do you file NJ payroll and sales tax?
As an add-on we prepare and file New Jersey payroll reports and sales tax returns, and we send reminders for the annual report and renewals. State fees are paid separately.
How much does it cost?
Pricing starts at $450 per month for the smallest tier and scales with the number of transactions. Try the estimate on the bookkeeping page; the final quote is in writing.
