Bookkeeping notes ## What the books look like for Cincinnati businesses like these ### Salons, fitness and personal services Memberships, packages and one-time sessions are recorded differently so deferred revenue is not overstated, tips are separated from sales, and booth rent or contractor pay is documented. Card and booking-platform fees are reconciled monthly. General bookkeeping practice, not tax or legal advice. Beyond the books ## Books show last month. Planning looks ahead Records tell you where the money went. A business in Cincinnati that is growing, carrying debt or running tight on cash also needs to know where it is going, and when a slow month will hurt. It is planning and reporting on the books we keep, delivered at the size your business needs. It does not replace your CPA. Tax returns are a separate service (see /tax-preparation); we do not audit statements or give legal advice. ### What that can include - A rolling 13-week cash flow forecast, so a slow month is not a surprise - A one-page dashboard of the five or six numbers you steer by - Financial statements and a package built for a bank or lender [See how the planning layer works →](/bookkeeping/guides/what-is-a-fractional-cfo) FAQ ## Cincinnati questions **Do you work with businesses in Cincinnati, OH?** Yes, online, from our desk in Cranford, New Jersey.
