Modern bookkeeping techniques using plain-text and automated workflows
A radon contractor's pCi/L guarantee is a warranty liability — accrue it per install, split testing from mitigation revenue, and amortize licenses monthly.
Pop-up dinner tickets are deferred revenue until the meal is served — book them as a liability, cost each event per cover, and never spend the float early.
Tunisia's auto-entrepreneur regime taxes freelancers 0.5% of turnover up to 75,000 TND, with no VAT and CNSS cover for about 20 TND a month.
Rental garments are fixed assets, not supplies: amortize them over 6–36 months, cost the plant per pound, and let route density set what the business sells for.
A thrift flip's true cost has five layers: price, prep, mileage, fees, shipping. Track them all, deduct only sold inventory, and reconcile 1099-Ks for the IRS.
General liability won't cover your own inflatables in transit. The four-policy stack bounce house renters need, and how to book premiums under IRS rules.
Garage door shops hold 10–15% net margins by accruing a warranty reserve, loading labor with 35% burden, and logging truck stock and state licenses per job.
Glamping books run on nights × occupancy × rate: record gross payouts to match the 1099-K, hold lodging tax as a liability, and depreciate tents in 5–7 years.
With missing records, the IRS rebuilds income from bank deposits, net worth, markup and unit volume — reconciled books keep the audit on specific items.
A 70% smoothie margin can be 45% after spoilage. Log waste per ingredient, cost recipes on yielded produce, and book abnormal loss outside COGS.
Price podcast studio rentals from fixed costs, Section 179 depreciation and 25–40% first-year utilization, not competitor rates — then book each revenue stream.
Price a tiny home from true COGS: burdened labor at 1.35x wages plus overhead turns a $40,000 quote into a 4% job; a 40% margin needs about $58,000.
