Bookkeeping notes
What the books look like for Sussex County businesses like these
Farms and food producers
Income arrives in bursts, so a monthly cash flow view matters more than the yearly total. Seed, feed and supply purchases are tracked by season, farm stand and wholesale sales are separated, and equipment is recorded with its financing.
Contractors and trades
Materials, subcontractors and labor are coded to the job, so each job's margin is visible before the next bid. Deposits and progress billings are recorded as they happen, and 1099 details for subcontractors are collected up front.
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.
General bookkeeping practice, not tax or legal advice.
