Bookkeeping notes
What the books look like for New Haven 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.
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
From records to decisions
Records tell you where the money went. A business in New Haven 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.
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
- Pricing and margin review by job, product or customer
- Hiring and equipment decisions modeled before you commit
- Cash planning around estimated tax dates, coordinated with your CPA
