Bookkeeping notes
What the books look like for Madison 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.
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.
Madison 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.
Owners in Madison
Higher-income owner situations
Owners here range from downtown shop owners to professionals with a small practice at home. We set up the books to fit, and keep them ready for your tax professional.
We keep the books and records your tax professional will ask about, including for New Jersey's optional pass-through entity tax (BAIT) if it applies to you; salary, entity and election choices stay with you and your tax professional.
