Bookkeeping notes
What the books look like for Bernardsville, Basking Ridge and Far Hills 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
Bookkeeping, then a plan for the numbers
After reconciled books comes the harder part: using them. For Bernardsville, Basking Ridge and Far Hills owners that can mean a cash forecast for the next quarter, a budget, or a package ready for a lender.
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
- A budget and a monthly look at budget versus actual
- Pricing and margin review by job, product or customer
- Hiring and equipment decisions modeled before you commit
