Bookkeeping notes
What the books look like for Franklin Lakes 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.
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
Some owners are happy with accurate books. Others, in Franklin Lakes and elsewhere, reach a point where they need forecasts, margins and a plan, but do not need a full-time finance executive.
Fractional CFO support is a few hours a month of senior financial attention instead of a full-time hire. It sits on top of your monthly books. For tax returns, audits or legal questions we work alongside your CPA or attorney, and we are not a CPA firm.
What that can include
- Cash planning around estimated tax dates, coordinated with your CPA
- A rolling 13-week cash flow forecast, so a slow month is not a surprise
- Seasonal cash planning for the slow months
If you run a business in Franklin Lakes, the state items are the ones every New Jersey business has: sales tax, quarterly payroll reports, the annual report and 1099-NEC forms. Here is what we track. The books stay in software you own; we log in, keep them current, and send you reports.
Owners in Franklin Lakes
Higher-income owner situations
Many owners run a practice or consulting business while holding other investments. Keeping each business separate and reconciled makes the year-end work far simpler.
We keep the books and records your tax professional will ask about, including for New Jersey's optional pass-through entity tax (BAIT) if it applies to you; salary, entity and election choices stay with you and your tax professional.
FAQ
Franklin Lakes bookkeeping questions
Do you have an office in Franklin Lakes?
No. MCC Solutions is in Cranford, and the work is done online in your own accounting software. For Franklin Lakes that means no commute and no office visit, and we are glad to meet in person if you want to.
What does the business community in Franklin Lakes look like?
According to Wikipedia: Becton Dickinson, a Fortune 500 medical technology company founded in 1897, is headquartered here; Medco Health Solutions was based here until Express Scripts acquired it in 2012.
How should an online seller reconcile marketplace sales?
Platform payouts are reconciled against sales, fees and refunds shown separately, shipping and inventory costs are tracked per period, and sales tax collected through marketplaces is recorded so it is not counted twice.
My books are behind. Can you catch me up?
Yes. Cleanup brings past months up to date and reconciled before regular monthly service begins, with a written quote first.
How much does it cost?
Monthly bookkeeping starts at $450 for the smallest tier and rises with transaction volume. The bookkeeping page has a live estimate, and we confirm a written quote before starting.
