Bookkeeping notes
What the books look like for Hoover businesses like these
Schools, associations and nonprofits
Restricted and unrestricted funds are tracked separately, grants and donations are recorded when received or pledged, and reports are laid out by program so a board can read them.
General bookkeeping practice, not tax or legal advice.
Beyond the books
From records to decisions
Some owners are happy with accurate books. Others, in Hoover and elsewhere, reach a point where they need forecasts, margins and a plan, but do not need a full-time finance executive.
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 rolling 13-week cash flow forecast, so a slow month is not a surprise
- Cash planning around estimated tax dates, coordinated with your CPA
- A budget and a monthly look at budget versus actual
