Bookkeeping notes ## What the books look like for Ridgewood 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. ### Professional offices and consultants Invoices are matched to payments so open receivables are accurate, client retainers and expenses are kept apart, and owner pay is recorded the same way every month. Monthly reports show real profit after the owner's own costs. General bookkeeping practice, not tax or legal advice. Beyond the books ## Beyond the books: fractional CFO support Once the books are current, the useful questions change. Can Ridgewood owners afford the next hire, the new truck or the second location, and what will the bank want to see first? That is financial planning, and it only works on accurate records. 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 - Cash planning around estimated tax dates, coordinated with your CPA - A one-page dashboard of the five or six numbers you steer by - Hiring and equipment decisions modeled before you commit [Read about fractional CFO support →](/bookkeeping/guides/what-is-a-fractional-cfo) Ridgewood 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.
