Bookkeeping notes ## What the books look like for Millburn and Short Hills 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.
