Bookkeeping notes
What the books look like for Newton businesses like these
Shops and retailers
Point-of-sale totals are matched to deposits, inventory purchases are separated from operating costs, and sales tax is tracked by period. A monthly inventory and gross margin check shows which lines actually pay.
Restaurants and food businesses
Daily sales, tips, delivery-app payouts and card fees all land in the bank differently, so each is reconciled on its own. Food and beverage cost is tracked monthly against sales, and sales tax collected is kept apart from revenue.
General bookkeeping practice, not tax or legal advice.
Beyond the books
From records to decisions
Records tell you where the money went. A business in Newton that is growing, carrying debt or running tight on cash also needs to know where it is going, and when a slow month will hurt.
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
- Pricing and margin review by job, product or customer
- A budget and a monthly look at budget versus actual
- Hiring and equipment decisions modeled before you commit
Newton businesses file with the same state agencies as the rest of New Jersey: sales tax, quarterly payroll reports, the annual report and 1099-NEC forms. See the New Jersey items we track. We work online, in accounting software you own, so you give us access to the file and your bank and card feeds and get reports and a person to ask each month.
FAQ
Newton bookkeeping questions
Do you have an office in Newton?
Our office is in Cranford, not Newton. Because the books live in your own accounting software, we work on them remotely and you never have to bring paperwork anywhere, though a meeting is possible if you want one.
What does the business community in Newton look like?
According to Wikipedia: The Spring Street Commercial District and Newton Square. The editorial offices of the New Jersey Herald, the state's oldest newspaper, founded in 1829.
What do consultants and professional firms need from their books?
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.
My books are behind. Can you catch me up?
Yes, catching up is common. We reconcile the missing months first, then start monthly bookkeeping, and you see a written quote before any of it begins.
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.
