Bookkeeping notes
What the books look like for Lexington businesses like these
Tech, research and startup businesses
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.
General bookkeeping practice, not tax or legal advice.
Beyond the books
Bookkeeping, then a plan for the numbers
Once the books are current, the useful questions change. Can Lexington 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.
Think of it as part-time finance leadership: forecasting, budgeting and a monthly conversation about the numbers. It depends on the bookkeeping underneath. Tax filings, audits and legal advice stay with your CPA or attorney.
What that can include
- Hiring and equipment decisions modeled before you commit
- A budget and a monthly look at budget versus actual
- Pricing and margin review by job, product or customer
