Union businesses ## Who we work with here Union Township is a large suburban township along Route 22, home to Kean University and the Union Center business district. Route 22 retail and auto businesses, restaurants, medical offices and trades. Route 22 retail and auto businesses, restaurants, medical offices and trades make up most of the small-business base, along with a large university nearby. Retail owners usually need monthly sales tax reconciliation and card-processor deposits matched to sales. ### What we handle Monthly bookkeeping and reconciliation, cleanup of past months, monthly reports, and payroll and New Jersey filing support as an add-on. Union at a glance ## Union business context Municipality Township of Union, Union County Population, 2020 Census 59,728 Area 9.08 square miles Government township government with a five-member Township Committee elected at large Incorporated 1808 ZIP codes 07083 Bookkeeping notes ## What the books look like for Union businesses like these ### Auto and repair businesses Parts, labor and shop supplies are tracked separately so each job's margin is clear, customer deposits and warranty work are recorded as they occur, and parts inventory is checked against the shelf at least quarterly. General bookkeeping practice, not tax or legal advice. Beyond the books ## Bookkeeping, then a plan for the numbers After reconciled books comes the harder part: using them. For Union owners that can mean a cash forecast for the next quarter, a budget, or a package ready for a lender. Think of it as part-time finance leadership: forecasting, budgeting and a monthly conversation about the numbers. It depends on the bookkeeping underneath. Tax filings, audits and legal advice stay with your CPA or attorney. ### What that can include - Seasonal cash planning for the slow months - Loan, line of credit and payoff scenarios - Financial statements and a package built for a bank or lender [Read about fractional CFO support →](/bookkeeping/guides/what-is-a-fractional-cfo) The local economy ## What Union businesses deal with Route 22 is the retail spine of the township, and Union Center and Vauxhall are the older business districts. **Major local names:** Kean University, The Home Depot, which the article says was the chain's largest store worldwide as of 2012, and P.C. Richard & Son. **College nearby:** Kean University, which moved to Union in 1958. ### New Jersey items we track for you Sales tax, quarterly payroll reports, the annual report and 1099-NEC and W-2 support at year-end. Your filing dates depend on your own state account, so we confirm them before the first filing. FAQ ## Union bookkeeping questions **Do you work with Union businesses in person?** Cranford is a short drive from Union. The routine work happens online in your own accounting software, and we can meet in person whenever that is useful. **What is different about bookkeeping for a nonprofit or association?** Restricted and unrestricted funds are tracked separately, grants and donations are recorded when received or pledged, and reports are laid out by program so a board can read them. **What matters most in a retailer's books?** 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. **My books are behind. Can you catch me up?** Yes. Cleanup work brings past months up to date and reconciled before regular monthly service begins. We give a written quote first. **Do you file NJ payroll and sales tax?** Payroll reports and sales tax filings for New Jersey are an optional add-on, with annual report and renewal reminders included. Government fees are not part of our price. **How much does it cost?** Monthly bookkeeping starts at $450 for the smallest tier and rises with transaction volume. The bookkeeping page has a live estimate, and we confirm a written quote before starting. ### Nearby towns - [Elizabeth](/bookkeeping/elizabeth-nj) - [Hillside](/bookkeeping/hillside-nj) - [Springfield](/bookkeeping/springfield-nj) - [Kenilworth](/bookkeeping/kenilworth-nj) - [Roselle Park](/bookkeeping/roselle-park-nj) Sources: [Union, New Jersey on Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Union_Township,_Union_County,_New_Jersey) (population is the 2020 Census count).
