And most importantly, I have owned small businesses before. I know what it's like to be staring at your QuickBooks software at 11 PM and question if you did that Home Depot charge properly.

They need a bookkeeper that has a good handle on what a job cost report is for a three day bath remodel project in the 1920s colonial off Broad Street.

If you want to stop by, it really isn't all that far of a trip.

1. Start west on Bloomfield Avenue in the direction of Broad Street through Bloomfield center.
2. Then, pick up Route 3 West towards Rutherford and continue onto Route 17 North.
3. Merge onto Route 4 West towards Teaneck.
4. After taking the Teaneck Road exit, turn right onto Congress Ave.
5. Our building will be on the left-hand side, close to Cedar Lane Shopping Center.

From Bloomfield Avenue, it should take you just 25 minutes under normal conditions. If you are trying to navigate Route 4 during rush hour, however, you can expect an additional 10 to 15 minutes. Similarly, if you start at Franklin Avenue in Nutley, it will take roughly the same amount of time because you will merge onto the same portion of Route 3.

Still, most of our clients in Bloomfield and Nutley never make that drive. They started trusting CapGro Bookkeeping Services because they needed remote accounting services that don't require hours of sitting in traffic on Route 3 or looking for a place to park in an office lot. A plumber in Bloomfield, finishing up a plumbing service on Watchung Avenue, isn't going to want to head over to Bergen County just to drop off some receipts. The half-hour it takes them to get to our Teaneck office from an HVAC job on Nutley's Franklin Avenue, near Kingsland Street, is time they could be spending elsewhere.

That's how we have our services setup. From the cloud, your QuickBooks Online account syncs with your bank feeds and you can send us pictures of your receipts straight from your truck. We'll track expenses, track jobs, reconcile accounts and manage everything over the internet from Teaneck, while you work in Bloomfield or Nutley.

This is how this works for home service companies in the area. Bloomfield and Nutley have a high density of older homes., they have plumbers, painters, and electricians, busy on jobs in the area, especially on streets like Bloomfield's Broughton Ave., or Nutley's Chestnut Street. With lots of smaller projects, the work is plentiful but spread out over many jobs, and that means lots of transactions, lots of receipts of materials that need to be organized. The advantage of our service is you can get all of that organized from the comfort of your home or job site.

We started here at Capgro Bookkeeping Services in Teaneck in 2024, with over 20 years of corporate accounting background. We understood the need for bookkeeping services that actually understood the job costing for home service companies. With tight profit margins on small jobs for contractors and subcontractors in both Bloomfield and Nutley, you need to know how much each job actually earned, so you need a bookkeeping service that gets it done from Teaneck.

Whether you're a landscaping service working properties along upper Bloomfield, near the Watchung Reservation, or an electrical contractor, getting permits in Nutley's downtown business district, check out how we reach clients all over the state. Our relationship is a virtual one, over your computer, not a daily commute from Bloomfield to Teaneck.

But, should you decide to come see our offices, on 1090 Congress Ave., we're open and ready for you. Coffee is on us.

Common Tax Season Struggles for Bloomfield and Nutley Home Services Businesses

It feels like a nightmare when you are running a plumbing company here in Bloomfield, or operating a landscaping company in Nutley, as the calendar turns into January. The paperwork from your trip to the hardware store on Broad Street gets thrown in a shoebox. The mileage logs from all of your jobs throughout Essex County go missing. And then it happens. You are staring at an array of 1099s with an unknown amount of total revenue from the prior year. our service areas all over the state

Almost every year I chat with home services businesses and it goes as follows:

A contractor in Bloomfield who may have subcontractors in Newark or Belleville will have 1099s ready. They just have no idea how many of them they even had. That is where remote bookkeeping is essential to get you ready before it is too late. You need to start the 1099 preparation and filings before the deadline arrives so that nothing is left unaccounted for.

Bloomfield is the ideal town to own a home services business. There are lots of older homes. They need to be fixed. This means a plumber, an HVAC repairman or a plumber has work all year long. The older a home is, the more work it will need. If you have consistent work you are going to have consistent revenue. Consistent revenue means more transactions that need to be tracked. But being very busy also has its downsides. You cannot sort expenses in February on Broad Street when you are fixing the water main on the block.

This is what I see a lot of home services businesses struggle with in Bloomfield and Nutley:

• Sales taxes on file due to not keeping track of which items went to what jobs
• Payroll that does not add up because bank reconciliation was never caught up
• Job cost sheets that were never completed
• QuickBooks that needed to be cleaned up before tax preparers could start on it

This may not seem like a big deal at the start of the year, but a painter in Nutley who just finished a major exterior paint job and threw the receipt on his dashboard in March may forget about it completely in December. They have no record of the expense. They have to pay taxes on the money they spent to fix the job.

That is why monthly bookkeeping is important. We are working on the books of our home services clients every single month. If our bookkeepers do not work monthly, the bookkeeping becomes a nightmare. You need your books current so that your accountant does not need to clean up your accounting prior to tax preparation. You will be much happier if you do not get any surprises on your tax bill.

Most home service businesses only start thinking about their books when the end of the year rolls around. This is a costly mistake. Accurate job costing can give you information that shows you which projects were profitable and which were not. A landscaping company that just spent the winter mowing lawns in Nutley may not know if the big spring clean-up job was really a moneymaker because it cost all of their money for labor, gas and supplies. If you do not have up to date books all year long, then you do not know.

We built our business because we have seen home service businesses go through the same issues each year. They are very good at what they do but are drowning in bookkeeping work. There is a lot of home services businesses owners in Bloomfield and Nutley. They own real businesses that deserve to be managed the way all real businesses are managed.
