Bookkeeping notes
What the books look like for Atlanta businesses like these
Professional offices and consultants
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.
General bookkeeping practice, not tax or legal advice.
Beyond the books
From records to decisions
Once the books are current, the useful questions change. Can Atlanta owners afford the next hire, the new truck or the second location, and what will the bank want to see first? That is financial planning, and it only works on accurate records.
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
- Hiring and equipment decisions modeled before you commit
- Pricing and margin review by job, product or customer
- A rolling 13-week cash flow forecast, so a slow month is not a surprise
FAQ
Atlanta questions
Do you work with businesses in Atlanta, GA?
Yes, online, from our desk in Cranford, New Jersey. We do not have an office in Atlanta.
What does bookkeeping look like for an owner in Atlanta?
Monthly categorization and reconciliation, owner pay recorded consistently, and tax set-asides tracked, with reports your tax professional can use. Wikipedia reports $77,655 median household income (2022) for Atlanta, which describes the place and not any one household.
What do startups and tech firms need in their books?
Subscription and contract revenue is recorded in the period it is earned, contractor and payroll costs are separated, software and cloud spending is tracked by vendor, and investor or loan money is kept off the income line.
What do Georgia businesses file?
The Georgia Department of Revenue sets sales tax returns monthly for most taxpayers, due the 20th of the month after the reporting period, and a return is still required in a month with no sales. We confirm the rate for your location and your schedule on your own Georgia Tax Center account.
How much does it cost?
The smallest tier starts at $450 a month, and the price rises as transaction volume does. You get a written quote before we begin.
