Bookkeeping notes
What the books look like for Jersey City businesses like these
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.
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.
Real estate and rental businesses
Each property gets its own income and expense tracking, security deposits are held on the balance sheet rather than counted as income, and mortgage payments are split between interest and principal. Commissions and referral fees are recorded when earned.
General bookkeeping practice, not tax or legal advice.
Jersey City 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.
