Bookkeeping notes
What the books look like for Boston businesses like these
Medical and health practices
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.
General bookkeeping practice, not tax or legal advice.
Beyond the books
When you need more than books
Once the books are current, the useful questions change. Can Boston 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.
The idea is simple: finance help on a part-time basis, built on current books. We coordinate with your CPA or attorney for anything that needs a license, such as tax returns, attest work or legal questions.
What that can include
- Hiring and equipment decisions modeled before you commit
- A rolling 13-week cash flow forecast, so a slow month is not a surprise
- Seasonal cash planning for the slow months
