Typical QuickBooks Struggles in Parsippany Area

Parsippany Area contractors don't have time to do their own accounting; they've got Route 46 jobs to run and local yards to stop at. That means QuickBooks gets left half-updated with issues that go ignored for a while.

That is often our experience.

Parsippany Area landscapers operate their crew from spring to fall. They're getting invoices, fuel receipts, equipment costs every week. These add up quickly. The QuickBooks file has uncategorized expenses and duplicates come July. Bank feeds no longer match. Vendor bills hang out for payment. The owner works around the mess since they don't have time.

Teaneck-area plumbers and electricians face different challenges. They have multiple jobs, maybe half dozen, in a neighborhood on any given day. Each job needs materials and labor tracked separately. When QuickBooks is not properly job-costed, you can't tell which jobs have a margin and which jobs are in the red. Our QuickBooks cleanup services correct this by separating transactions and reporting each on a job-by-job basis.

Below are some common QuickBooks problems we encounter among Parsippany Area businesses:

• Bank and credit card feeds disconnected with hundreds of transactions
• Sales tax collected and not reported or filed
• Expenses in the Uncategorized account
• Personal expenses and owner draws recorded on the same bank or credit card accounts
• Invoices listed as outstanding despite customer payments being completed

Parsippany Area HVAC firms feel the seasonal squeeze; summer is when business is good. Winter is slow; the books get reviewed and things just don't balance. What the accounts receivable says are balances were collected months ago. The owner expenses were recorded under business expenses on the P&L. This is the call to action for them.

There are similar stories with painters and roofers in the Teaneck area. A residential rofer in the neighborhood might deposit checks from the day without noting which project the check was paid for. Three months later, that money can no longer be traced. We are not just dealing with sloppy books, this is going to hurt the business come tax time.

One thing that always seems to surprise our clients is how bad things have gotten. What seems to be a few months' worth quickly expands in scope when we review the QuickBooks file. The problems stretch back six months, or sometimes more, to reconciliations that remain incomplete and categories that have been wrongly set up from the very beginning. This is a job that requires real attention, it is not a, five-minute fix.

From our experience working with home services companies in the Parsippany area, the stories. The books don't break down in one fell swoop, they slowly become unmanageable and that is what our QuickBooks cleanup services are designed to do for you.

To reach us from Parsippany, take Route 46 East toward the Garden State Parkway. If you're on Parsippany Road or in Lake Hiawatha, you can access Route 46 from a few different side streets easily. Once on Route 46, merge onto I-80 East and keep to the right as you drive past Totowa and Fair Lawn. Exit for Route 4 East, then head directly to Teaneck. Turn right on Teaneck Road, then left onto Congress Ave. We're located in a building on your right.

For the Route 202 / Parsippany Hilton and Tabor office park area, head south to I-287 and take that north until you hit I-80 East. You'll end up in the same place, just start a little differently.

A lot of home services contractors in the Parsippany area spend their entire day moving from worksite to worksite across Morris County.

The meeting takes place while you're running around the jobs in the Parsippany area.

For example, we currently provide a local HVAC contractor with QuickBooks cleanup services. He runs his operations out of a shop near Parsippany Boulevard and his books were in a complete mess after two years of missed entries and miscategorized expenses. Instead of leaving his office for a whole day to come to us, we handled his QuickBooks cleanup services over three remote sessions. He never left his office.

Of course, we're happy to have clients come to our Teaneck office if they prefer to meet in person. Congress Ave is a quiet side street with plenty of free, on-street parking at the curb, right in front of our building. No garages, no meters. Come park at the curb and walk right in.

The Make Up of the Parsippany Business Community and Why We Do Deep Dives

With Route 46 and Route 10 passing directly through, Parsippany is a prime location for businesses to operate from.

We have HVAC contractors running from small offices in the vicinity of Lake Hiawatha. Landscapers are operating from homes or offices off Parsippany Road. Electricians and plumbers work in the tightly-knit home communities close to Troy Hills. Home services businesses in and around Parsippany, like any other business, have bookkeeping challenges. But there is a reason that Parsippany has a bookkeeping issue, and it’s that home service companies started small. A side gig by a plumber becomes a full time business, and when that happens, QuickBooks gets set up in a rush. Categories are missed. Invoices are not matched to deposits and then it all falls through the cracks, until April, when that messy file needs to be dealt with.

QuickBooks cleanup services will clear up that backlog by fixing uncategorized transactions, by sorting out vendor payments, by making bank feed reconciliations up to date, for example, a landscaper that has five crews around Morris County will finally be able to see what jobs were actually profitable for that business, and an electrician that invoices out residential projects near Parsippany Troy Hills, will be able to understand if his material cost is bleeding into his margin. This is what home service providers throughout the area deal with all the time: months and months of unreconciled bank and credit card transactions inside QuickBooks, uncategorized or improperly tracked Job Costings and expense entries. Duplicate vendor records from hasty QuickBooks file entry. Collecting sales tax but either not filed or properly recorded. 1099 payments to contractors that are not separated out from vendor expenses.

We had one contractor with 14 months of transactions, categorized, sitting in his QuickBooks file for his painting business near the Parsippany Area because he had become so focused on getting his next job booked and sold that all his bookkeeping was neglected. It took time to clean up, but when it was clean, he was finally able to see his profit by job, and it helped change how he priced his next few bids. Cleanup gets the business back on track and establishes the baseline for monthly bookkeeping going forward. You will be able to import your bank and credit card transactions, you will be able to see accurate reports and no accounting fees will be charged at year end for fixing the mess.

Home service company business owners, like any owner-operators, are people that do things with their hands. They do not sit behind a desk. That’s why their books get neglected, but that’s not a reflection of the character of the business owners in the area, it is just how things are. And it is because of this that we have built our QuickBooks cleanup services to work remotely from our office on Congress Ave. in Teaneck, where all communication is done over screen shares and secure access to documents. The home services business is expanding in the area, especially with construction and development around Waterview Boulevard and with the re-construction of older communities. This means more jobs, more invoices, and more payments to subcontractors, for the QuickBooks file in your business that is doing fine bookkeeping, but can not keep up with the growth if we don’t clean it up and build it up correctly.
